The 1125r was super powerful and had a mean full throttle growl. This thing would absolutely scream given the proper idiot! They didn't warn me about the 2 finger brakes, but I learned very quickly.
I hit the brake so hard the first time (slow speed) I thought the back end was coming over my head. These brakes are ridiculously potent.
Also, the front wheel lifted several times during the ride - a neat surprise.
The bike got really hot near the back of my legs once it warmed up. That was annoying. I hear the 1125cr is the same way. The seating position was terrible, making the bike useful for quick trips only. It handled like nothing else I've ever ridden though. I was able to make very tight turns at slow speeds. Wow - if the thing was more comfortable to ride...
I need to ride the 1125cr.
