I have a 2017R, that I enjoy as a light second bike. Very versatile, great features, fun to ride.
The RS is on paper is much the same bike as my R. However, I test rode a 2017 used RS today, and I am completely blown away by how different they are.
The handling of the RS felt much sharper compared to my R. Perhaps because of the ergonomics and more weight on the front end. The RS also had the rider pro package, which gives you corner abs, and the hotter dynamic engine mode. Noticeable difference compared to my R.
Also, I noticed immediately the small fairing of the RS allowed me to travel at highway speeds with a great deal more comfort and stability.
I may decide to go to an RS as my second bike. Only 12lbs heavier than my R and a bunch more fun!
