Seems as awesome as I imagined, will be test riding one next year for sure

 
You aren't already bored with The Beast, are you?
needs something a bit more docile, for days he doesn't want to fight to keep his arms attached.

I think i know the feeling...?

seems like a cool bike with tons of character, ive always wanted to ride a boxer twin

I'd recommend to try a wasser-boxer (water-cooled version) to test ride instead of this older air-cooled engine. Especially if you are coming from your Stupid Duke. Better, ride one with the new Shiftcam VVT technology, something like a R1250R or RS.

The old 1170cc lump is nothing special. I've had two bikes with this engine and it's definitely not the highlight of the motorcycle. I think most folks buy the R NineT for the retro looks and the ability to customize it, not because of the air-cooled boxer.
 
There's some sick custom R NineTs out there. I really like this one:
