![]() ![]() 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. |

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...
