His user name was Macduff. He sold the RS, I think. Try sending him a PM.
I'll do that Cormanus, thanks. Appreciate there aren't that many RS owners on here.

I own an RS, but I am still with the OEM tyres.
The bike came from factory with out-of-round tyres, so that caused vibration. I had the tyres changed under warranty, and vibration was gone.
Comparring a short test ride on the EX vs mine, I think steering feels "lighter" on the EX, but I can't say if it's because the tyre (I'd say it's partially, but rake angle has also to be noticed).
Next set will be michelin. On a CBF500 I had pilot power ct2 and I was very happy with them (they made the steering feel lighter than the previous set, and the bike felt more agile, so yes: tyre can make a diference)
Another note: how many km had on the RS you tested? Tyres don't feel "right" until they've run some km

That's useful, thanks. The bike only has 800 kilometres on it.
