Well, I stopped by work today after a doc appointment and they had just uncrated the first CR. Wow, what a badass looking machine. We got a black one, and the black frame/swingarm look great. New clutch cover looks good, they finally put a black heat shield on the rear header pipe (no more silver), the blacked out frontend and wheels look great, and I LOVE the red caliper on the front. Since I don't have the ability to swing a leg just yet (walking first, then driving...then a new helmet, then I'll worry about riding again) but it looked like it had similar ergos to the 1125R despite the different bars. Given they're clamped on to the triple like the XB-S, they're probably about 1.5" higher than the R bikes, but look to be about the same reach and width.

Very cool looking bike, I can't wait till I'm back in the saddle again!
