New 2014 RT

[warp10]

Went to the dealer today to trade in my 2012 RT SE5, 7k miles and all the extra goodies. Cleaned it up, waxed and polished, sure looked good. Since some customers were already looking at it, the dealer gave me a good price, 22,000 trade in on a new 2014 RT limited. Dealer said that he had tweaked the ECU a little with buds to make a little more power when needed. Sounds good to me, finished the paper work and drove it home. I don’t know how he got a new one, when no one else has one, maybe a special demo/prototype. I don’t care it is mine now.

Perceptions on the ride home. This thing is SMOOTH. Steering is much better, less effort, bike tracks like it is on rails. Bumps are no problem and corners are a blast, zips around them like the tires are glued to the pavement. Twist the throttle and you are gone, very strong acceleration in every gear. Shift 3 times and you are doing a 100 mph. I was playing around with fast run ups to a 100 mph and back down to 50 mph when a couple of sport bikes came up behind me, so I took off. They were able to finally leave me at 150mph, what a blast. They slowed down and waited for me to catch up and then we were in some corners. I was able to stay with them through all of them. We all pulled into a gas station and they couldn’t believe that I was able to stay with them. The big shocker was that I used less gas than they did. I was able to get 45 MPG to their 36 MPG. This means that I was able to go over 500 miles home and only stop once for gas. Wind gusts don’t seem to bother it at all, semi’s can’t faze it. This is just a great ride. Saw some dark clouds up ahead, thought this will be a good test of new rain gear. Bike is handling the rain, wind, and wet roads with no problems. I love this thing.



Suddenly a flash of lightening, BOOM of thunder, and I am awake in my bed. :banghead: WOW, WHAT A DREAM!!

Very good. You also had me going there. I was going to remind you to read up on the "break in" proceedure--but that is not needed now.

Thanks for the excitement. :2thumbs::2thumbs:

With the 2014 delay I thought we could use a little light "WISH LIST" reading / dreaming. :roflblack:

Just say it was your EVIL Twin. :thumbup:

 

[Barlock]

Yes, I must admit, he's got me too. I couldn't believe what I was reading. Well executed! :clap:

But SERIOUSLY when you think about what our fellow SL expressed here was his unsurpassed desire to have all those things in his new ride. Don't you agree?

 

[warp10]

Yep, just a little tweaking is all it takes. :roflblack:

 

[mrfats]

You've got way too much time on your hands! :roflblack:
