Is the 1125r really that good?

Define "that good" Depends a lot on what you are looking for.

With equal riders, will it out handle a jap liter bike thru twisties, yes. (so they say)
Is it more comfortable than any SS bike, yes.
Is it a better "daily rider/tourer" than any SS, yes.
Will it eat through rear tires, yes.
Will it wheelie on command, yes.

I love mine. Yes it has its quirks, but it's a new model. By the time Ebbs gets back all that should be ironed out, as they are constantly making it better and fixing probs as they arise.

I going to give my old RF600 to my brothers kid. When that happens I will be down to just one bike the gsxr 1000. So I have been thinking bout buying a replacement. 1125r has me interested

Go give it a test ride at least man.
Keep it above 3.5K and it purrs and does anything you ask.

Yeah I've been seriously considering the 1125R... but i'm still at least a year out right now, more like a couple years. just sad to see that the RC is gone. don't like not really having an option...
