as long as it's not ducati incomfy, i can deal w/ it. + i can always add heli bars or similar risers.

main reason i want the RC is , to be diff. you don't see many RC or VFR's.........

Heli's are great, and should work decently. And you're right about not seeing many RCs. You'll usually see a 'busa at least once or twice a day, but you'll be lucky to see a RC once a week. The RC isn't as bad as duc's in the street ergo's dept. and they have a straight gutteral almost animalistic/predatory feel. Many a Harley guy has given me the weird look thinking " it sounds kinda like a Harley, but it looks like a crotch rocket". If you wanna be diff then the RC will do what you want.

I miss my RC51 every time i walk into the garage.

Its funny about the heat. I commuted on my ZX thru city traffic and it was unbearable. The frame got so hot it burned to the touch and I got soggy drawers at each stoplight.
My 1125R gets warm and the frame heat can be felt but even with the radiators on the side it doesnt get as hot as my 600?

prolly that underseat to blame

Honda Blackbirds are way cheaper than the RC and Busa, way smoother for commuting, way more comfortable, and can lose your license just as quickly as the Busa.

I've always liked how the RC looks and I'm a sucker for a 'Twin

If your commute is highway, there is no reason to put Helibars on a bike. The wind helps prop you up. Plus they look dumb on a sportbike IMO.

Well... you could always get a GSXR1000... bear with me people. Great handling and not terrible ergos for long distances. Descent track manners. Great street manners... Actually, faster than a 'Busa until absolute top end. To be honest, if you're keeping the VFR, I don't understand the question since you already have a great commute bike, I'd get the RC-51...:idk:

Yeah if you have the viffer go for the sporty side! Or perhaps hold out till that new VFR V5 hits the street?!
