It seems to me the RS has an almost infinite amount of legroom, as
there's no fairing to bump your knees on.   The ST1100 and the ST seemed
very similar, but with the ST1100 being slightly roomier.

Yeah, I think a lot of my decision will come down to having my wife ride
these bikes with me and see if she feels comfortable enough on them to
have any desire to do any touring with me.  If she doesn't, I'll
probably get an RS.
