Honestly anyone who says the RC is a comfortable bike for trips is just plain nuts. The bike was never meant for it and the few 300 mile days I have had on my RC51 have left me sore as hell afterwards. (I am only 5'10 185lbs.)
My TLR is more comfortable for road work and probably built for a larger frame person like yourself.
Hearing the guy who's 140 pounds put 10K on the trip odometer last year probably shouldn't mean much to you since your're twice his size and would probably not like to do that kind of mileage on an RC.
You'll have to sit on one and decide for yourself.
they are great bikes, but not built for guys your size. If you decide you can be comfortable on one, then my hat is off to you. Also depends upon what kind of day to day mileage you're talking about to get to work and to the mountains.
