Should Honda make the RS available in the US, we should have more than a few 2013/2014 CB1100 owner switching over to the RS. It will be interesting to read comparison reports.
17" wheels are generally quicker than 18" wheels. Maybe Honda will adjust the frame and suspension geometry to maintain good corning clearance. And if the 180 rear wheel prove problematic, it should be possible to go with a smaller rear. And tire choices will be more numerous.
A few intake and exhaust changes should gain 5 plus HP on top of the 5 HP the RS has over the standard.
I'm playing devils advocate but I think the RS may have the edge, albeit with a few easy mods.
