I'm also a bit bigger than Honda had in mind for the RC. I'm 6'6" and around 275lbs right out of the shower with 38" long arms and a 36" inseam. An aftermarket seat is a given, but, I'd love to hear from folks that really put a lot of miles on their bikes. How much of a compromise will an RC be? I'm willing to trade some comfort for the capabilities of the bike, but I don't want to have to see a chiropractor after every ride, either. A friend of mine was generous enough to let me have his RC for a very long day of riding a few years ago. I was fine until the long freeway jaunt back home. By that time, I was hoping my butt would just fall off..... for what it's worth, the bike was bone stock-and I loved it!

I'll spend 99% of my time on the street and about half of that time riding a spirited pace. I don't NEED an RC... I just want one in the worst way.

Just how uncomfortable can I expect to be getting to and from the fun roads? Am I fooling myself?

Owning 2 bikes is ideal, but it's not an option right now.
