• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    RPM question - Noobie one, I know, apologies in advance

    So the 2011 RS SE5 is my first bike I've ever owned. Being new to ryding and riding, I'm trying to figure some things out... My RS seems to run like this: 0-22ish MPH: 1st Gear 22ish to 35ish: 2nd Gear 35ish to 45ish: 3rd Gear 45ish to 60ish: 4th Gear 60ish+: 5th Gear About 5500 to 6000...

    Tox's Ryde Diary - Ryde II - "The Taylor Loop"

    I got some good feeback on my first ryde post so thought I'd continue writing these as they happen and see how it goes. Today, after a long day at work, with some not so fun meetings (because really, if we didn't meet, what would we do?!) I came home, played with my kids, and then around 7ish...

    How fast to 600?

    So I just got my 2011 RS on Friday, with 2 miles on it, and after parking her tonight after dinner, I'm at 308 :-) Was curious how fast others got to their 600 mile service. This baby is a blast to drive, so comfortable, so fun, and the "wow factor" is cool, I haven't parked it anywhere that...

    Here's a couple of my Cheap Mods...

    Where did you get the reflective decals? My local shops only have 1" 3M reflective tape and yours looks like one big piece but to size, which I like better. thanks!

    Anyone use these mirror extensions?

    If so, what's your thoughts? http://www.esicycleproducts.com/upandoutmirrorext.html I have found after ryding this weekend, I do tend to see 76% of my hands and 25% of what's behind me. not sure I like the "up" but the "out" I like... Was curious if anyone else used these and what you thought.

    My expected purchase

    Great information from everyone, thanks! I did get a chance to ryde the RS yesterday and I loved it. Lots more zip with the less weight, and I'm not sure, but it felt tighter in turns, is that me and some illusion? There is a considerable amount of difference though, you are all right. I do...

    My expected purchase

    Yes, just sitting, not even ryding, I could tell the difference. I'm not planning on long trips though, more commuter length trips, with the occasional longer weekend day trip maybe. I've heard great things about the SE5 transmission, and read a lot online. Plus I'm not a fan of silver so...

    My expected purchase

    Understand they are different, however I'm not into the higher look and feel of the RT. You mention they are different beasts, as in drives drastically differently? I definitely like the more streamlined look of the RS, however I can't find any dealers in my area that offer a RS for a demo...
