Hi walter,
I think the RS will have basically the same handling as the ST but without
luggage. It is supposed to be fully adjustable front and rear. You can dial
it in for a more plush ride on the highway and crank up the preload and
rebound for the twisties. I'm sure someone will come out with a little
taller windscreen after it's been out a while. Either choice is a winner!
