15 vs 16 rt limited

[meathead816]

What are the differences between the 15 and 16 rt limited i would liketo get the 16 but a leftover 15 would be great if no major differences i do like the new blue color

colors

[Chupaca]

depends which models. Most are just the color, visibly.... I think none on the ST,RT, but new for the F3...

[cyclekid58]

colors

Addition of a USB port and colors is the only thing I saw. Wish they would make a USB adapter that would plug into the back jack to use a thumbdrive of music in addition to the Ipod and MP3 adapters.

Yeah you are correct..

The 1330 RT is pretty much perfect the way it is. They did add the USB and I think that was a great move but other than that what can they really do?

Remember the 2002 Goldwing has not changed much either. They fixed a few issues and I think it was in 2012 they added a little to the bags but other than that it's pretty much the same bike. Oh they did come out with a F6B (Bagger) Goldwing and some loved it and some hated it just like the the F3-T now.

This is still a new company compared to Honda and Harley and I think they've done pretty well with the model lineup so far.

I think you are not too familiar with GoldWings... there is quiet a bit of differences between a 2002 and the 2012 GoldWings... Honda added the built in GPS in 2006... and installed a killer sound system... and the Air Bag model became available in 2005 that package has ABS brakes as well..... they redesigned the rear bags in 2008 or 2009....and a loaded GoldWing is cheaper than a Limited spyder

Yes but the airbag was a big fail, it was called "The Butt Bag" because it looked like a big but when inflated. The GPS was received with mixed emotions, most went with the Garmin or back then the iway. Guess I got my dates wrong on the bags but it was funny to read that older wing guys say how ugly it was. I am familiar with the wing, I started a ran www.GL1800Riders.com and was partners in two Honda dealerships. I was a partner with Honda Direct Line.

Pricing, I'll let you be the judge. Unless they're giving that kit away it's going to be way more that a loaded RT.

The Wing only 2 wheels. Add the trike kit and you are way beyond a Limited Spyder in price with poor handling. You just can't beat a purpose built Spyder.

I am perfectly happy with my 2014 RT, but I have always wondered why there wasn't an airbag option for this thing. It was hard for me to see how an airbag would work on something that could fall over just sitting still (2 wheels), but I did think that an airbag would be useful on a 3 wheeled vehicle. I would not trade, or add money on this option, but when (if ever) do you guys see an airbag being an option on a spyder?

I don't want it.

[Bob Denman]

That could certainly help you to become the "Butt" of many jokes...

EDIT: I showed "them" to the Missus: She thought that a high-quality Brassiere might be needed...

[ARtraveler]

Glad that thing is kept hidden.

[Vt. Rider]

Imagine.....having to slam your face into something like that !!!!
NO THANKS !!

Was just in the local dealer to ask about '16s. They have a RT Limited on the floor, and the salesman showed me the MP3 adapter in the trunk. It had the DIN Plug to insert into the back jack, a mini headphone type plug for the MP3 player, AND it had a third line to a USB adapter. So it must be available.

You, my friend, are a mean person

Be thankful that I didn't mention wardrobe, or her new car as well...
As for me; I'll just play with the 4 USB ports on the front of my computer!

I was at the dealer again today and had a closer look at the cable. Oops, it's not one cable , it's actually two separate cables.
One cable is a DIN Plug to mini headphone, and the other cable is DIN to USB. They were in bubble wrap, so a little hard to see clearly, but the sales-droid assured me that it was a USB adapter and could be ordered through the parts department.
Sorry, no numbers on the bag
