I'd like to hear from folks who've had a chance to spend some time aboard both an RC & 1000RR. Being the forward thinking human being that I am (read: Consumate Cycle Junkie). I'm imagining that my RC's replacement steed is probably going to be an `05-06 1000RR. You guys know I'm a diehard twin fan. But I fear this may just be the reality....
I say this because I am extremely suprised Honda is carrying the RC for `05. I and a lot of other folks figured it for dead in this years lineup. Suprise me once, but I'm not counting on it for `06.
Given that as a background for thought; I hear lots of people throw words like 'tractable', 'useable' and 'linear' around when describing the new `blade. I know it's gonna be heavier (duh, it's a Honda, we've all come to that realization by now) than any of the other 4's out there. It's all about the delivery...
Finally getting to my point: Being that I'm used to twins and thier delivery; folks who've ridden both, what are your comparisons/opinions of the `blade to the RC?
