The TBS has better (fully adjustable) suspension and classic good looks. The RS looks more modern and has more motor. The riding position on the RS is probably more sporty (never ridden a TBS), so the more upright position of the TBS may be more comfortable for longer days.
I own a 2002 RS and like it a lot. Aside from the suspension issue, it's a great bike for all-around use (commuting, sport riding, etc). I find it comfortable for long days, but I'm tall, so it's not as long a reach to the bars for me. My wife does NOT like being a passenger due to the riding position and lack of a grab handle and backrest.
That new SSSA RS sure is a nice looking bike. Couldn't stop checking it out at the IMS show in Cleveland...
