Hopefully we can keep this debate fun, and non personal.

The day I bought my RS I was actually going to look at a used VFR that 
happened to be at a Triumph dealer.  I have, and probably always will, 
lust after the early to mid 90s VFRs.  I love this bike 
(http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~john/vfr/specs/pics/91-vfr750.jpg) and if I had 
ever found one at a reasonable price I would own one.  But on the day I 
became a RAT it just so happened that they had a Lucifer orange demo RS 
on the floor too.  The lynch pin in the deal was that the RS was 1/3 as 
much to insure (still is) and had a full warranty with it and was priced 
pretty close to the 3 year older VFR.  I've never regretted not buying 
the VFR but if the RS ever goes away I'm not sure what I would replace it 
with.  There are entirely too many lust worthy bikes these days, but few 
do as many things as well as the RS.

Anyway, that's my 2¢.
