if i remember correctly, the standard XB frames are a 52" wheelbase.. and the 1125 is about 54.5" ?

146 HP in a 52" wheelbase.. it would be impossible to keep the front tire on the ground.

Not saying I'm not interested in one.. but I'll patiently wait for the 1125 Lightning version. and NO - the CR doesn't cut it for me.

Put the higher bars on the CR and you've got a water cooled Lightning in all but name.

One of the reasons the 1125R has the longer wheelbase is because of the increased horsepower. That was in an interview I saw with Erik when the bike was first announced.
