First test ride on the new 2014 RT-S 1330 and I didn't like it!

When are the new 2014 RT's expected to start hitting dealers showrooms?

I just ordered a manual but I was talking to people at the dealer today and we were all wondering about how the semi auto downshifts now. I have read that you can go through town at 30 mph in 6th gear and then run back up to highway speed with no lugging but wouldn't the semi auto downshift automatically when you slow down?

Thats a good question, was wondering about that myself after watch Len's videos.:dontknow:

I think if you go back to Len's video, you'll find that he was riding a manual shift and not semi-auto. Stan

Lamont, assuming you rode to Orlando, how close is the color of your 2010 Timeless Black RT-622 trailer to the 2014 Timeless Black RT?

What about 2014 RS models? Any big bores in the works?

They probably have just tinkered with the rpm levels at which a downshift automatically occurs... :thumbup:

The SE6 acts very much like the old se5 it shifts very similar but the power curve doesn't require it to down shift as often. Your going like what you see with this new ryde I promise its awesome, in both se and sm.
