Congrats on the switch.
I might have ha! Definitely has the power I have been craving. It is has the same break in instructions the CB11 has, it is going to be difficult to "ride conservatively"

Thank you and I will.
I can tell you now, that on the freeway I feel more vibrations from the handlebars than what I felt from the CB11. Rpms at 70mph are at about 4.5 or 5, kind of hard to tell on the digital meter.
Also, cruising at 70 mph, wind blast isn't as bad.

Ha! If I could afford it, I probably would have the CB11, and the CBR1000RR as the second bike! I think with the CB1000R I'll have somewhat the best of both worlds. My payments for both the finance and insurance went up!
I actually just got promoted to E-5 in the military (with a few days notice) I think I can handle the payments.
And according to the manual, I won't be servicing it as much as the CB11, oil change intervals at 8000 miles!!?? With regular oil!!!??? I'll probably switch to full synthetic and do the change somewhere between 4k-8k miles.

Just stay away from Guzzi's or you heart will be lost forever.
Yep, luckily I think I made the right choice this time around.
Too bad the CB1000R forum isn't like this one, new and simple.
There are so many threads and it is kind of hard to navigate through the CB1000R forum.
