-2017 onward have a different frame, swingarm, and suspension components, and the RS has an aluminium swingarm. So it is not the same bike as 2013-14.
-Overall gearing is lower due to the smaller diameter wheels, so has (according to Honda) about 3% stronger acceleration.
-Bike sits a tad lower to the ground and has a shorter wheelbase and tighter rake/trail for sportier handling.
-Looks awesome.
-Looks awesome.
The RS is so good-looking, it needed to be said twice!
