 First hundred miles on my RT
We'll I now have 100 RT miles under my belt.
Likes:
love the power and acceleration
the ride is smooth and stable. Don' t think I will need a different sway bar.
Ride position an distance to handle bars is perfect for me.
Engine sound has a nice rumble to it.
I really have have no dislikes just annoyances
shifting seems rough
brake peddle position could be better.
I am still in the learning curve for the bike. I am not very smooth at taking corners at highway speed. I feel like the bike my flip over as I lean into the turn. Hopefully I will improve over time.
On the bright side
My wife would not get on the back of my two wheeler. She tried the RT for a short ride yesterday. When she woke up this morning she wanted to go for another ride. She loved it. Now we can bike together.

 on your new ride!
Glad to hear that you're enjoying it and that your Wife is as well!!!
A couple more spins around the block and your cornering will get alot more comfortable...
Have Fun!

I would say that's worth the price of admission.

I quite understand that. One of my best friends hates riding two-up on her husband's sport bike. She loves riding two-up on my RT though.
End result on rides, he gets to play on his sports bike, and I get a pretty and dear lady snuggled up on my back. I think I got the better end of that deal.

It does take a while to get used to the position of the brake pedal on the SE. Drove me crazy for several hundred miles. Enjoy!
