I succumbed to the magic dust 1 Year, 11 Months ago
I replaced my 01 R* with an 01 RK. I would never have done this if I didn't have the bike wreck. As stated by many here the RK does not have the oomph that the R* has, but the handling WOW. I do like the RK very much, but I do miss my R. Truth be told my R feels more like a Harley than the RK does. PS I did buy an extended warranty, I can never be to careful
