Look what I have for the weekend...

75/80mph at 4000 rpm and smooth. Wow. Took my new 2013 rts out today. Riding two up with wife , got it up to 62 mph it shook so bad had to back it down. Less then 400 miles on it. I should have waited for the 14.

Something isn't right . . . that sort of shaking isn't normal . . . see your dealer.

Look what I have for the weekend!!! One of the few pre production new 2014 RT... I am supposed to test it and be critic about it! The critical part will be difficult: only 60 miles back from my dealer in Livermore (yes I took some back roads!) and I love it! I've been riding my 2011 RT-S for over 2 years and I am only now getting OK with the vibrations, the heaviness of the front (I have a better swaybar but still), the lack of grip of the brakes... 60 miles on the new RT and these problems are history: 75/80mph= 4000rpm, 3 cylinders 120 degrees=no vibrations, Brembo=nice bite and the new suspension is out of this world: no twitchness, easy steering, what a difference! Even the unbelievable: the new one is more comfy for the pilot and the passenger!!
Bad points: have to have the brake on to get in 1st gear, no more tach in the central dashboard and I still do not like the exo-skeleton on the front fenders!
I know I will order the SE and not the limited as I do not care for the extra chrome but it will still be Cognac!
Can't wait to leave for my 2 days weekend on it...

Well... Regarding the speedo/tacho: having only the analog tacho is not a problem! What I do not understand is why keeping the analog speedo: in MPH needle is buried down there and I am always looking the digital. My idea would be to keep the analog tacho, digital speedo and move everything else (clock, temp, odo, radio etc) to the left and make them bigger !
Good thing on the 3 cylinders: who cares which rpm you are in: just twist the throttle!!

Funny reading some of the posts here, I just got my bike a little over a month ago and hope it lasts me at least 4-5 years. LOL


It would be cool to have the opportunity to critic a new product though....how do you get such a job?

Most likely because his dealer was one of the few who was sent a 2014 demo and also because he has ordered a 2014 already.

If they went to a digital speedo, I don't think they would be allowed to blank it out to show the other screens. The speedo has to remain visible.

Lots of bikes/cars only have a digital speedo.
