Anyone on here ride a 2011-12 Honda CB1000R?

I have been looking at getting back in riding after a 2-year hiatus. I've been looking at a few different bikes:

Leading the list were:
2012 BMW S1000RR duhh
2011-12 Aprilia RSV4R APRC

But at 38, and having had 6 sportbikes, I am looking to get something more comfy and ride ability. Was looking at a cruiser. Don't flame, thought I wanted to look into a H-D VRod. Dealer network made that an easy choice to say FFFFUUUUUU.

Moving on...I am starting to warm up to the look of naked/streetfighters:

2011-12 Honda CB1000R This is my front runner atm.
2011-12 Ducati Streetfighter S <---little too expensive at $19000
2011-12 Aprilia Tuono 1000 APRC
2011-12 Kawasaki Z1000

Anyone gone from a full fairing bike to a naked? I am worried I will trade for comfort, but give in to the wind brutality.

Anyone have a 2011-12 CB1000R?

Thanks
