Default Mike Tyson in Clogs?

Maybe it's the half bottle of wine/Sunday eve mode - was looking for something interesting and saw this CBR1000RR but just got stuck wondering what the hell it's like to ride?
Does it corner? Or is it a straight line diva? All that power but limited manoeverability? Tyson in Clogs?
360 rear...

It'll corner like a dump truck
And you'll end up as the dumpee
That's a pure drag bike IMO - won't handle at all. Extended swing arm is a give away.
Too much money, no brains, trying to ride that thing on the public roads.......
FWIW

In the states there unfortunately are quite a few weekend warriors that believe that is a perfect bike. Too many movies like Torque and Fast and Furious have convinced them style is fast and always trumps function. If you want a drag bike ok but too many people here have no idea how a bike should handle stock let alone modified.
I will try and get a few pics of the atrocities that are driven locally.

I think the extended swingarm is so that ******** could get his tire in. LOL
