So they got new colors out... as expected.
New display... would be nice to see a preview!
New shocks... INTERESTING!!!

Everything else...

They didn't change the frame so I don't see why not.

Did they change the rear or leave the rear shock alone?

New shocks for the RS, much needed if you really want to push it. Amber display? as far as my 09 RS it will be cheaper to buy a set of new sporty shocks and a pair of amber sunglasses. Do like the new colors and the tan seat brown RT looks really cool, especially with the hot sun in the parking lot here in the south. Maybe go all the way and get a white seat to reflect the heat!

I'm liking the new colors... I really like the idea of the amber display - I wonder if it could be purchase as a replacement?

**Questions** · 07-10-2011, 10:05 PM

That green is pretty snazzy!

**Spydeb** · 07-10-2011, 10:08 PM

I like the green

the best. Also the brown seat really changes it up!

**CanAmMick** · 07-10-2011, 10:11 PM

They look great! Maybe a new one in a few years.....

**BajaRon** · 07-10-2011, 10:17 PM

Hopefully, Lamont will be able to post some hands-on (or Eyeballs-On) info tomorrow.

My guess is we aren't going to see any quantum changes until the economy turns around.

I'd like to see the green in person. Looks like a color with potential.

That lava brown couples with the tan seat look very strange to me. Makes the seat look like it's immediately an aftermarket item...IMHO.

Thanks Ron, just got in and you can bet I'll post more pics tomorrow. Anything you really want a good look at?

**RoadHammer** · 07-10-2011, 10:34 PM

the brown Rt is freaking me out... I just can't believe brown

.. Nice rs colors though

**dltang** · 07-10-2011, 10:53 PM

I guess I am in the minority, I like the Brown and Tan RT. I also like the black and red RS.

**BumbleBee** · 07-11-2011, 04:18 AM

Love the green RS

Really like the Bronze RT, but not the tan color seat!

**chris56** · 07-11-2011, 05:00 AM

... but I was hoping they do a new (adjustable) handlebar system for both modells ??

Close pictures of the new RS LCD display turned on and the new FOX Racing Shox front suspension with threaded pre-load adjustment.

**bonehead** · 07-11-2011, 05:15 AM

Lamont, take pictures of the real colors, the brochure doesn't give it A good view, cluster gauge turned -on and shocks

Exactly what I told Chaz and Carlo at Lamont's BBQ a few weeks ago, plus offer it in yellow like my present RS. I like the visibility (too many 80-90 year olds driving around here, LOL!)

*And double check the rear shock for us... I assume it is still stock.

It looks like the side markers on the green have lights. Is that the case or is that just from a flash of the camera?

Yawn......

THIS.

**rnet** · 07-11-2011, 08:16 AM

I was thinking about a new RT for my wife in 2012, but nothing much I like in the new colors.

I would like to see pictures of the new amber display. Also, a list of any under the hood updates.

**clueless** · 07-11-2011, 09:04 AM

I am guessing a lot more then just what they told us got changed under the hood...

like the 2011 there were changes ... look the connectors changed in the 2011 we found out that when others tried installing a JuiceBox Pro and it would not work anymore...
