Had this 2021 RTL since June and decided to attend the "Husker rally" in Franklin Nebraska that I had previously been going to on my BMW's. Nebraska roads are really dippy and poorly maintained which made me decide to upgrade the shocks--at least the front for now and get the bug screen inserts. Other than that, I am getting more comfortable with it and look forward to several more trips in the cooler fall weather.
600 miles each way and I felt less fatigued than before on 2 wheels, so it's a keeper! It tracks straight, cruise works very well and I set up an insulated thermos on the right passenger peg with a long neoprene hose and bite valve to stay hydrated in the 104 temp around Kansas city. Fuel mileage was around 33 between 65 to 70--but closer to 40 at lower speeds. I can live with that. Plugged in my i-pod and was able to hear the tunes fairly well on the speakers wearing earplugs as I don't have a bluetooth helmet yet.
