The RC51 is a lot quicker than my SH, I still think the SH has a little more low end torque than the RC. The RC handles like a dream, its never unsure in the turns. Its hard to ride for long distances, but I do anyway because I love the way the bike feels. When I get back on the SH it feels like a cruiser compared to the RC.
Fuel economy: SH on 89 octane = 37 to 40mpg, RC on 91 octane = 35-37mpg
