I can certainly understand that changing the wheels on the RS will affect handling in some way and I certainly appreciate everyone's input but here's the simple truth - doesn't really matter that much to me. I am not a racer, I've never even seen a race track let alone been on one and I ride whatever bike I'm on within the limits of that bike not comparing it to something else.
I don't even know what "heavy" steering is, the extent of my critiquing knowledge is my Buell handles better than my CB which handles better than my Harley. I've never gotten too involved with the technical aspects of riding, I ride for enjoyment - nothing else.
Want to hear something that most of you would consider sacrilegious? I've never looked at a spec sheet prior to buying a bike. My criteria are: 1. Comfort 2. Versatility 3. Fuel range 4. Looks. I still don't know what the hp/tq was on any of the bikes I have owned except for the CB1100 and only because I joined here. I did dyno my Harley in Laconia one summer but that was just because everyone else did, I didn't really care.
The way I see it, any modern motorcycle over 1000cc is capable of carrying my wife and I so why get all wrapped around the axle about which one is more powerful?
