Having riden both bikes in street and modded track form, there is little to compare - the RC45 is no larger than a GP250cc motorcycle that you slide into and control with little more than thought control, while the RC51 is a great big monster you climb on top of and hang on while you manhandle around corners
But as I say, you are free to have your opinion and believe the common hype
