Just to let you know I have owned, street rode, and raced a RC51 so I am not bias to any bike.
My GF works at a harley dealership and I got to ride new 1125's all the time. Did a bunch of roll ons from 2nd gear to 6th with a friends RC 51 he had a full exhaust and PCIII on his bike I have a bone stock 7 miles on the odometer 1125R. I shifted a 1000 rpm sooner than red line as it was a new bike and I did not want to pop the engine lol on a new bike. Well I steadily pulled away from him 1 bike per gear. Remind you this was a bone stock 1125R

A) straight line performance does not impress (I don't know your friend but I for one am not going to slam my bike into the redline just to win a drag race, maybe he likes his bike too)
B) I know at least one privateer in AMA that was having nothing but problems blowing his Buell up on a regular basis early on.
