Got the demo ride at the DC festivities.Liked it very much,three price levels $19K to $26K.I tested the SE5 fully loaded model.Rode the test course then highway,2up.

If anyone has a specific question I will try to answer.

what's going on with the headlights?

Are there still two Bi-Projectors in there?
...and the fog lights, are those still the same projectors?

Are those functioning reverse lights?

Also, one of the promo videos has the RT riding with the fog lights on and nothing else. Is this a Euro Style model?

Call it softened,smoother,maybe even sedan like.RPM was lower by 10%.55mph was as fast as we could go on course.I am guessing 70mph would be maybe 4500 rpm.This is drive by wire throttle,cruise was great.

Sorry Nick it was bright sunny day.I think fogs are std. and led's in rear are super looking.Headlenses look like Goldwing.

Handle Bars, They wouldn't happen to be telescoping would they?

I could see the passenger floorboards on the photos but could not
see if there were any for the rider. As a 71 year old I could really use them.

Now that MSRP is over $30k fully loaded, is there a built-in alarm?

Are ALL the lights LED (running, turn signals, backup) ?

Impressions of the multi-function controller?

As I recall if the ball of my foot was on the peg my toe was over brake pedal.My hands were over my boot,meaning an upright relaxed riding position.

I think all the lights are led's.

If by the controller you mean the radio controller it was a little busy for me.All I used it for was volume and select station.The parking brake and suspension and other buttons are beneath the bars kinda like a goldwing.The headphone jack was just below those buttons center of the false fuel tank.

Passenger p/talk and head jack was on the tourpack arm rest.
