    Cool NEW 2012 RTS SE5 THIS AM

    After weeks of jonesing about the merits of the RT, and wearing out my computer reading the RT forum, I traded my 07 Goldwing this morning, for a 2012 RED RTS/SE5! Long distance traveler here, and am anxious to take the RT on one of my long tirps. After 400000 miles on cycles, and sidecars, I figured it was time to try out something new. Gonna miss the Wing, I'm sure, but like all the features of the RT, and hope it works out well for me. Gotta get it set up for me, as the stock seat and I will not get along well. Now for the fun of adding all my little toys. Got a great deal at Daytona Fun machines. They have a great service dept, and easy to work with.

    From another x-winger and you'll love it. The handling will take a little time to get used to. You might want to try a little parking lot practice before going to far. Dale

    Now the fun starts!! As said earlier go to empty parking lot and PRACTICE PRACTICE!!! The RT is a unique machine and NOT like a 2 wheeler. Handling requires a different approach. Good luck and ENJOY THE RYDE!!!

    and from another X winger. 1st thing you need to learn is it runs best above 3000 RPMs I don't even shift unless I am at 4000 RPMs believe me that will take some getting use to.

    I have had my RT-S for about 2 weeks now and it has been a blast. My wife who swore she would never get on a bike is now asking when we will be going riding again. Enjoy
