I don't ride, but my friends do and they had a VFR and a 996 Superhawk (the superhawk I think is a close relative to the RC51) Anyway, they both swear by the V motor honda's and the crazy torque they give.

My friend that had the Superhawk is a big guy (6-2 320) and when he got it he came out of a turn in second gear and it just stood right up on him. He swears he wasn't trying to get it up, he just easily rolled into the throttle.

They both swear the V motors are very ridable bikes because they make alot of power down low, perfect for in town riding.
