RT-S PE#0032
 cool Ryde
oopps! I actually posted this in the wrong spot the 1st time.
High of 36 today, with clear skies. couldn't pass it up, had a fantastic ryde. In fact, I had to lower the windshield a bit just to cool off, seriously I was sweatin'
BTW: While it's nice to stay warm when the temps are this COLD, but just How warm (HOT ) is this thing going to be on a 100 deg carolina summer day?

Could get pretty warm. Most touring bikes with great protection get a bit stuffy and hot. Can't have it both ways easily. I wear mesh protective clothing in the summer, and often stick out an arm or leg into the wind just to cool down. All my large fairing bikes have been this way, even with windshield vents. At least the RT-S has better radiator airflow, so it won't fry your right foot and leg.

Yah, today I road for 1 1/2 hours in a deserted parking lot 72 degrees and where I placed my sunglasses in the middle console they got hot, and I could feel the heat by my knees and thighs, not an issue just an observation. The helmet I got is very similar to the can-am hybrid i am waiting for. The sun shade worked great. And it has a detachable full face.
I too lowered the windshield and it was great.

One of the first things I noticed was the heat management is much better on the RT compared to the RS.
