Plus I think that my gf would like it once she got over the styling.

I haven't put too many miles on it yet, no thanks to work and stuff.
I can't comment much on the ergos because I'm having to get used to sportbike posture again, but they don't seem too extreme.

Power delivery (at speed) is really nice, but I haven't really gotten into it since I'm still in break-in (yeah, I'm one of those wimps who actually follows recommended procedures for that stuff) but the growl and oomph up to 6k is plenty to get my ass down the road.
The only really prickly part is taking off in traffic. The motor really wants you to wrap it up a little more quickly, but having slow cars in front of you makes that difficult.
A little clutch feathering makes it manageable, but it's clear that this bike wants to RUN.

Now, as for the much-touted handling...
As with some of my other answers, I'm a little too early into my break-in and haven't done any dialing in or adjusting.
However, from what I can tell so far, the reputation for having excellent handling is no exaggeration.
The 1125R feels like what I wished I my TL1000R could have. Maybe it could have, but I didn't have the money or know-how to get it there.
It takes little or no effort to toss it around, it balances easily when stopped, and feels like it weighs half of what it does.

Perhaps it's because I haven't been keeping up with modern sportbike offerings, but there are lot of neat features offered through the instrument cluster and controls. I won't bother to enumerate them because I haven't committed them all to memory or gotten around to tinkering with them yet.

So, all in all, I'm quite pleased with what I got.
I can't wait until it's broken in so I can really have fun.

Oh, and about the styling... When the 1125R first came out, I didn't care for it either, but it has grown on me rather quickly.
I sort of wish they had done an adaptation of the XB12R look, but still, I'm liking it.
