Hopefully for 2015 they will bring back the plain vanilla RT in mag silver. I would be all over it then would be now if they had it. It is my favorite color and have all the acc's to match it. I think black is a dangerous color for a bike like this at night but looks good in the day light and do not care for white it shows the dirt too much. I can only wish :dontknow: Are you listening BRP here is one more sale waiting for you.:thumbup:

Have you seen the Platinum bikes up close yet?
It's definitely a satin finish; no shine at all! :shocked:

Have to agree with your preference for mag silver. I went to lots of lights for the black sheep of my family.

Since I have been there and done that, I have now moved to the circuit yellow or cognac point of view.

I would do Cognac I loved my orange HHR but that color I doubt will make it to the plain RT.:sour:

(but the bike is somewhat susceptible to strong crosswinds so i will add the BajaRon Anti Sway bar to stabilize it a bit.)


Great review Doc. I came to the same conclusion, when I demoed the 2014 at CFPS, I plan on installing the Anti Sway bar on my 2014, if it ever gets here. ray:ray:

Keep the faith Scooter.. I hear there are hundreds of RTs in the parking lot at BRP and they are finally shipping them right and left.....

Doc
I rode 80 miles on those winds today, besides adding an f4 windshield wich is better I am thinking away bar as well, does CFPS carry the away bar?

Do the 2014 take the same sway bar at the earlier models? I will take my Baja Ron off if it does.

 

[Bob Denman]

I kind of doubt it... The've beefed up things, to handle the increased weight!
But you should check with Ron to get the REAL story! :thumbup:

Ron told me the 2013 fits the 2014, however is is making some tweaks to the 2013 to correct some limited issues with certain bikes. in essence he said i can wait for 2014 kit to be conservative but the 2013 would work

On Spyderpops it's listed as...


2013 - 2014 RT/RTS/RT LIMITED SELECTION
SPY135 - 2013 - 2014 RT/RTS/RT LIMITED ROADSTER SWAY BAR $215.00


Wouldn't hurt to ask Ron though...

They do sometimes however right now Ron is updating the sway bar slightly for 2014 so I am waiting the few weeks for the new kit.. you can email him and he will put you on a list to notify when the new bar is ready

Please give us an update on your thoughts once you've installed the new bar.

Ron's bar ALWAYS makes a positive improvement. The 13,14 are the same and it was a very noticeable improvement on my 13 RT :thumbup:

I do not know if I want to thank the Op or not. I had made my mind up, that I did not want a 2014 RT, BUT all that information sounds so good, that may change.
Thanks for information for real
