La libellule is in the garage...

[prmurat]

Just back from the dealer...45 miles and already got a name for her...Libellule! Sorry but the front looks more like a dragonfly than a spider (did I mention I hate spiders??). the first 5 miles were a little all over the freeway but it went well after, turns can be challenging (mainly in my head!) but it is a very nice ride...could use a little more umph but wait till the break-in is finished!! Funny that the dashboard is made for young guys with eagle eyes: can't really read anything else than speed, gear position and radio channel!!
Can't wait to go for a longer ride...I hate having to work now!!

Just ride it

As has been mentioned, just get time in the saddle. +1 on the display comment, maybe BRP will offer an old fogey option someday. Meanwhile back at the :spyder2:, good for you, WOOT!

:congrats: Just keep the revs around 6 grand and I think you will find its got lots of umph ! A little slow off the line but once you are rolling its just as quick as a RS .

Yes all 40 years of it... and still 18 bikes in the garage...but now a destroyed radial nerve in my right arm so heavy bikes are a no-no :cus:...so I sold 3 bikes and bought the RT to tour! as my wife says "no vacations if it is not on a bike!"

:welcome: Congratulations on your new ride. It's cool to have San Francisco represent! :roflblack: That sure is a nice color. And don't worry, you'll be riding like a pro in no time. I started in a parking lot, then city streets, and THEN the freeway. Not ashamed to say it,either. Of course now I'm a holy terror!!

Congrats again and enjoy the ride.

:welcome:
You will find the umph. Keep the RPMs up as suggested. My friend (rides a 1400cc Suzuki) test rode mine yesterday and came back with the widest grin. He looked at me and said "man! That thing has some go juice!" :2thumbs:
