Gotta say, not long after buying the 1125R, I really wished I'd bought one of the air-cooled paint shakers myself.

Quite serious.
Sure the 1125R is faster, but it is jerky as hell at low speed and it lacks the visceral appeal & 'character' that the air-cooled engine has in spades.
For the speeds I normally ride, the XB would have been a better choice.
