Yes, I've ridden my share of 1330's - mostly RT's, but also F3's (including one fairly long ride on an F3T). They are good bikes, but as of yet, I haven't found one that makes me want to trade in my 2013 RT Ltd. nojoke .....
Same here!! :thumbup:
Since the heat recall thing happened, the Missus & I have done similar extensive testing & still reckon the 2013's RT's are the pick of the bunch for us; we've yet to find a 1330 offering that ticks all our 'needs' list boxes or does anywhere as well in satisfying the 'wants' list!! And while some of the F3's come close in the '
getting the adrenalin pumping' stakes, they all either fail miserably elsewhere or just don't work - for us!! I have been known to state that the 1330's (yes, even the F3's!) just aren't as '
exciting' to ride - sure, they've got scads of torque & can be fun, but it seems their torque is delivered by a lazy team of oxen & they just don't deliver the rush we get from our heat recall & cat elim unleashed 2013 RT Ltd! :yes:
hyea:
Towing with a 1330 RT is admittedly a breeze & cruising can be a joy, but regardless of what you do, even without a trailer you just don't get the rush of mid range acceleration from one of them as you do from a 998 with a cat elim fitted - the cat elim & the heat recall mods really seem to have unleashed the mid range in our 2013 RT Ltd such that now, the
only thing that's less than ideal with the Spyder for us is the disappointing range! I wonder if it's possible to somehow squeeze the larger 1330/'2014 on' RT Fuel Tank under the 2013 tupperware?? Until someone comes up with a way to do that, or something similarly invisible & seamless, then it appears that we will have to keep on sacrificing 1/2 of the LH pannier capacity to carry a spare 5litre gas can 'range extender'! :sour:
Altho, when exactly did BRP say they were going to be releasing that 1330 turbo?? My hand's already up & waving madly for an RT Turbo with Sports mode - an F3T Daytona Turbo or two will do in a pinch, but we are really after a sporty & exciting but comfortable two-up Long Distance Tourer! Is it so hard to deliver something that's as comfortable, capable, & versatile as the current RT's, but has more exciting performance than the current 1330's, with the Sports Mode Option so we can
let'er rip when we want to play, but still has the fuel capacity let us easily pull those long cruising stints?! A 1330 RT Turbo with Sports Mode looks like it might come close, anyone else interested?? :2thumbs:
