Heli's are great, and should work decently. And you're right about not seeing many RCs. You'll usually see a 'busa at least once or twice a day, but you'll be lucky to see a RC once a week. The RC isn't as bad as duc's in the street ergo's dept. and they have a straight gutteral almost animalistic/predatory feel. Many a Harley guy has given me the weird look thinking " it sounds kinda like a Harley, but it looks like a crotch rocket". If you wanna be diff then the RC will do what you want.

If you want to be different, get a Hayabusa and leave it stock.

If you are keeping the "viffer" then I'd get the RC51 since the VFR should be good for your commutes.

My buddy has a RC51 with FMF twins. Oh damn that shit makes me horny.
