    The more I look at it, the more I like it. At initial viewing, the co-pilot says our '14 looks better, but I disagree. However, it'll still come down to the seat/backrest for us. And personally for me, the color choices kinda suck. The 2018 Blue and Orange were beautiful.

    As some have already commented, I am really torn between the praying mantis profile pre 2020 and this 47 gallon stuff hauler. The price, wow, that's gonna be a nail biter.

    So it looks like Linq items with 16 inch centers will fit as well. So items for the Sea-doo and the Can Am atvs will fit as well giving you more options is you want. Also it may make an opening for aftermarket to design options that fit too.

    I was quite impressed with the video and the changes made. Although my '14 RT-S has performed very reliably for the first year of a new design and engine I still have enough mileage cushion on it to wait for a MY '21 before I would give the slightest consideration to trading up. A 2021 RT could be a great 80th birthday present to myself too.

    Really like the new RT. I have always wanted two bikes because I like the sport look but also need the extra storage for the wife. The idea of being able to pop the top case off is brilliant. I wonder if you install the passenger arm rest is there a quick disconnect for those for when you remove the top case and go solo.
    To be continued....

    I was wondering the same thing. In the video he briefly said the up front suspension was changed to make it more stable.

    The lower CG has been mentioned, that will help with handling. Maybe better shocks? Possibly also a copy of Ron's bar?

    Liking the 2020 RT. Anyone seen/sat on one in person yet? Looks like you might sit more into the trike vs previous model.

    Haven't seen or sat in one yet, but most of these 'walk-arounds' & 'in-depth reviews' tell us that the pilot's seat is only 29" off the ground vs the previous model's 32" or so, and you'll sit in it more than on it like you did with the earlier RT's.

    So I'd say there's a good chance you'll sit IN a 2020 RT rather than ON it!

    I love this machine, if I could only win the lottery. BRP has done a great job right out of the box.

    I would love to take advantage of year-end model close out deals but looks like the 2020 is a step up in quality, fit & finish.
