Finally got my RT Limited 2020 Deep Marsala Metallic-Chrome Edition is home.
Picked it up yesterday drove it about 200 miles and yes big improvements.Fit and trim
was excellent no deviations in the paint and the paint metallic I'm gonna call it raspberry
was absolutely stunning.
The things I have heard here before people talk about are true as far as what you would
call smooth the transmission was almost like an electric motor.
I am 5’7 and the seat backrest fit perfectly handlebars also okay that came with it.The
brake pedal repositioning it and the long floorboards fit me perfectly.
It does sit lower to the ground you feel it when you sit on it and the height of the passenger
seat is a lot taller and longer than it was on the 2014. My wife now says when sitting there
she can see over my helmet like on the Gold Wing.
One thing I did make a mistake on was the windshield it is 3 inches taller that it needs to
be for me. With it all the way down I literally have to stand up to feel any air. And the air vents
are so low and the dash is so pointed upward that you have to raise the windshield all the
way up to feel any air coming through the vents.
I can also say that the wind the deflection is amazing on the new 2020 it almost feels like
you're sitting in a pocket of no air moving at 70 miles an hour. I am wondering in the summertime
in the 90s if this might be a problem. I know I had air deflectors on the 14 that help a lot when it
was hot.
The armrests I will all give a C- there okay but they move very little to let the rider on. Also
if you want to remove them it takes a little effort and a allen wrench. And then you have to
put the cover plate back on. It would've been nice if BRP would've made them like the backrest
were all you have to do is pull a lever take it out or put it in the same way.
I took it up the Blue Ridge Pkwy amazingly there was lot of people there yesterday and went down
some back roads with Lotta curves and twists. It did better-than-expected but still seem to dip and
plow a little on tight curves. Overall it was okay but I might change some shocks in the future.
This is my fourth RT and I think the best one yet from my opinion. Their redesigning of it addressed
a lot of issues and the smoothness of the ride is really outstanding and has to be experienced to
really appreciate it. :firstplace:BRP
