Just a guess, buy maybe because...
  • More chrome
  • Engine guard
  • Moulding and badges on fender
  • Headlight nacelle
  • Additional lights

The SG is sans without all the chrome doo dads, highway lights and such. The SG fairing is very light and the biggy........the new SG has only ONE muffler your RK has two.
