Nice bikes everyone!
I've ridden the RC8 (unfortunately not the R) a couple of times, VERY nice bike. It is a bit easier to ride than my XB, but is still fun. And after the XB it is very rare for me to think that another bike is fun.
And they are VERY cheap (to buy, not to own...) and a bit common over here right now, and I can buy one, but cannot justify owning two bikes right now (I don't get to ride as often as I like).
For example a friend bought a Street Triple a couple months ago, the previous owner has barely ridden it at all.
I rode that one too, everything was easy and soft, high quality bike... just not my cup of tea.
Here's a photo of our bikes parked in the field next to an airport that was being used as a track for motorcycle racing for the day...
