Apparently, people like mean-looking cars.

From the article: "If a Toyota Prius just looks too friendly for your tastes, you’re not alone. People readily see faces and traits in cars, and a new study suggests that they prefer cars to appear dominant, masculine and angry."

Now look at the 1125R:

1125R


And the 1125CR:

1125CR


That whole cyborg headlight, radiator pod / shoulder pad thing really looks more aggressive than the smiley-looking fairing...

I described it recently as looking like a pissed off lobster that jumps out of the boiling water and comes after ya!!!

(Obviously that would be the RED one...)

The R says "don't "f" with me"

The Cr says "I'm not finished yet, come back in a year or so"

Uh.... the R looks like a seriously miffed Teletubby. The CR looks like a Silon. Unless the R really knows how to swing that Tubby handbag, my vote goes to the Silons for badassedness.

The only fifference is the front fairing... hardly "not finished".

I saw the CR up close at the dealer and the front end looks like a huge lobster claw!!!

The CR has kinda got that Pvt Pyle look from Full Metal Jacket right before he eats his M14

I don't think it's that nuts but it does have a glaring view.
