Since the RT is more than 200 lbs heavier than the RS, a larger engine would be in order. The Buell version of the Rotax vee twin proves that it can be stretched to 1125 cc's, and the added power would allow taller gearing than the current 28/79 setup which runs the engine at 4400 rpm at 60 mph, too buzzy for extended highway hauling. "Sedan-like" acceleration in a vehicle in this price range is unacceptable, so taller gearing with the RT's less-powerful mill would not make sense. I'm sure BRP pays attention to the SpyderLovers forums and to Lamonster, but some of their design features and decisions mystify me. The RT has great potential, hope they can sell them in this economy.
