Alright guys, I want to know what you are thinking on this one.

I ride an 02 CBR 600 F4i and I love it, but every time I ride something with a V-twin I get a huge smile across my face. I was about ready to pull the trigger on an 1125R a couple years ago, then HD axed Buell, and well, here we are. On top of that I really would like an American bike, but there really isn't anything out there for me, but there might be soon.

EBR announced that they were bringing a new bike to the market, and although I won't pony up the 40k base price (I'd probably buy something with four wheels first - Mustang GT, F150 Raptor etc.) I'm interested.

1.) 1125r arguably can compete with 600cc bikes on the track, but on the street, thanks to low end torque, they can be more fun, does this mean that the 1190RS will compete with 750cc I-4's and be able to "hang" with 1k bikes?

2.) I think it's sexy, (note: I also like KTM's offerings, and the Honda VFR sans the optional CVT trans) how do you guys feel?

3.) the 600rr, 1000rr and other japanese i-4 bikes were less comfortable than my F4i, which is why I went with it; how do you think this will compare to the i-4 offerings?

4.) I'm thinking EBR may put out another model that is mass produced, that will be the one I go for since the price tag will drop, anyone agree or disagree?

any other comments you guys want to make or concerns you want to raise feel free, I'm looking for an open discussion on this bike. Needless to say I'm excited to see Buell back at it, he strikes me as someone who is following his passion for motorcycles, and I can't wait to see an 1190rs in action in person.
