OK you RC riders: I am looking at getting a new bike this year and the RC-51 is a chose. (or 10R or R1) My question about the RC is "how is it to ride 2 up??"

The RC is probably thee worst street bike for two-up riding. I don't think you can find a worse bike for it.

BTW, the 10R isn't much better. The front end is light enough without the weight of a passenger.

never done it, but I can't imagine it would be any fun, the rear seat is about the size of my shoe.

It can be done, because I have done it times before. Only for girls that I know and the ones that are pretty. I do not see how they did it, but they like the ride. Myself, I can't sit on the passenger seat in a parking lot for a few minutes without becoming uncomfortable.
