F3 Cross Country = RT wannabe?

Just swing your leg up over the back seat. it may look a little dorky mounting and dismounting, but it does solve that problem. :thumbup:

My range of motion does not work that way.

The RT is doomed! [emoji33] [emoji38]

Said before, but, I do not think the RT is doomed. It will be at least ten years before all us owners die off. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

The RT is a great machine for those who like all the comforts, luxury, and amenities that bikes like the Goldwing and the BMW GL1600 provide.

As an initial owner of a GS way back when they first came out, I tried to make mine into an RT. By the time I got it right, They introduced the 2010 RT which I then promptly bought.

There was a difference. The GS even though "decked out" properly did not ride like a tourer. It was a crotch rocket with touring stuff attached.

The upside of all this--different strokes for different folks. There is now a pretty good choice and a lot of in between things that one can choose to get the ride you want and that fits you. .

I can pretty much say with all certainty that the RT has as much chance as being phased out as the Honda Goldwing. The RT isn't going anywhere but it's really close to perfect now so like the Goldwing I wouldn't expect any big changes in the near future. :doorag:

:agree: with most of the Spyder sales being RT's. They aren't going anywhere soon.
