Went to the Honda shop and checked out the new bikes. That's all I used to do in the wintertime when I lived back in Pittsburgh.
Anyway, they had an RC51 parked right next to a CBR1000RR on the showroom floor, so I got to look at both of them, side-by-side, which was great because I'm considering each for my next bike.
So I expected the RC to be a lot bigger to the RR, but I was surprised to see that it wasn't. It was not quite as narrow as the CBR, but it really wasn't that much bigger overall.
I would love to have both bikes, but I'm still leaning towards the RC51. I even came up with several reasons to justify owning both of them, but common sense took over. I was telling myself all kinds of crazy things like "Both of them combined would still cost less than a new Ducati 999" and "Everybody needs a street bike (RC51) and a bike for track days(1000RR)"...but I left before talking myself into something stupid... :lol:
