Good review, although it seems like you had a bit of coffee (or cocaine) when you wrote it, but that's okay.
My dealer has a almost new S2R-1000 with 100 miles on it, a guy bought for his wife and she decided she preferred riding on the back to having her own bike. I think for the power output and lower maintenence cost the S2R makes more sense for a street bike.
I think looks wise I still prefer the Brutale 910, which is quite an accomplishment for a I4.
Now if they put that much rumoured 1200cc V-twin in there that may be the perfect bike..
