    Default Road Testing the New RT

    I was reading on Facebook Fred Rau has a road test assignment from BRP to put 6000 miles on his 2014 RT in 4 weeks before he heads off to New Zealand, poor guy.

    Default Fred Rau and Other Testers Out There

    I'm reasonably sure that there will be several testers from motorcycle magazines having fun and writing about their 2014 RT riding experiences. Fred Rau is one of our best but he isn't the only one reporting. I think we'll be seeing lots of tests in the upcoming months in various publications.
