    Default New '14 owner

    Traded my '10 Timeless Black RT-S, SE-5 for a '14 Timeless Black RT-S SE-6. What a difference! It is such a pleasure to cruise at 45 - 50 MPH in 6th and still have plenty of power. 250 miles and loving it. I put 44,500 on the 10 and enjoyed the hell out of it too but they are two entirely different critters...

    I didn't get the Garman 660. Does anyone know anything about the Tom Tom Motorcycle GPS?

    on your new ride, I also traded my 2012RTS-SE5 Quantum Metallic Blue (it had 8,000 miles) 3 weeks ago end of July, for a 14'RTS-SE6 in Cognac. The 14'RTS's are an awesome machine, and welcome to the 1330 Club. of the 14'RTS-SE6? You are going to love it. Deanna777

    P.S. The reason for small print is using Mozilla Fire fox as a search engine, sorry I will be using MSN as search engine when i am on this site.

    I traded my '10 with 31,000 miles for the 14 also. Don't be upset when the new one eats the oem tire up in 5000 miles. The extra go-muscle is worth it. I also stepped up to the bajaron bar and elkas. 2-wheelers don't have a chance on the curves now.

    I also moved from a 2010 Rt to a 2014 Rt. The smoothness of the 1330 with the ability to run at lower RPMs make a HUGH difference. Simply put, it's just more pleasurable to ride.

    Congrats! I heard that the TomTom is good but the mounting hardware is cheap.

    Congrats on your new ryde! I did a similar thing, with a minor detour back to the two wheel world. I am very impressed with the new '14!

    I opted to use my Garmin Montana on my RT - I remove it for most of my ryding, and it will run for 16 hours on a set of batteries. Someday, I'll hardwire the mount, but I would lose the flexibility I have, when I do.... ah well, decisions, decisions....
