RT vs RS

[Bob Denman]

That's not good for marketing; It's GREAT for marketing! What made you think that they'd be doing this for their health? As frustrating as this is; it's the way of the business world... :gaah:

I agree totally with post #9. That guy hit the nail right on the head. That guy in post #9 is a smart cookie. :thumbup:

Not so smart. Doesn't know the difference between there & their.

I bought the RS in 2009, because there wasn't an RT - sold it and never looked back. Would never pick a sport bike over comfort, if there's a choice.

Don't blame me the English language is the most idiotic setup in the world.


With words that are pronounced the same and spelled differently. How stupid is that. :roflblack: Those kinds of thinks would not happen if we all spoke french now wood (would) it ??? :roflblack: And who can forget Spyder/Spider.


Yes I'm one of those guys that says when my nose is running............please pass me a Kleenax, when it is actually a facial tissue. I bet you do to (or is it too,or two) ? Now, I'm really confused. :gaah:

Maybe a good poll would be how many miles do you ride on your RS vs RT. :doorag:

You'll be surprised: the RS owners put more miles /unit.

I have an RS. I think that if your coming off of a sport touring or basic motorcycle you would most like feel better on the RS. If you have never ridden a motorcycle or rode big touring rigs you would most likely go to the RT. I test rode the RT and must admitt it is pretty comfortable. But I felt the ride for me was too soft and acceleration not what I was used to on the RS. I also felt that for a single rider it was just too big and loaded with options that I would not use. I'll stick with my RS until BRP comes out with a model somewhere between the RS and the RT.

I think you hit it on the head as far as I,m concerned!

Lots of fun with the English on this thread--you folks are right. Unfortunately, as a college prof--I see some really interesting stuff. I have seen a steady decline in proficiency over the last 10 years. I teach accounting and business courses. I have seen the percentage of A's decrease and the F's increase on a steady basis.

I don,t like BRP,s marketing of the 2012 RT-
1-For 21,7 you only get that metalic color and no semi-auto choice?
2-For 23,5 (25 with auto) you have metalic or Blue. I don,t care for either.
3-So now I,m at 25 (27,2 with auto) to finally get a Red!!!
If I were to add a RT it would be a basic model with auto and either White, Yellow or Red color (Visable)?

BRP markets it so you are SORTA forced to go to the higher end models. (Guess thats Good marketing?):dontknow:

I have to agree that it is great marketing. I like the BLUE RT and wanted the RT-S Features so I paid the $28.5 (Cdn) and didn't even get the Red. I would have bought the Limited...but they don't come in BLUE.

:shocked: Gee... Do you think it has anything to do with texting?? :dontknow:
Smart phones equals dumb users... :gaah: (At least regarding communicative skillsets...)

ikr? wtf srsly...

It kills me, what kills me more, is when I am having a conversation with someone in their early 20s and they actually use these shorthanded things in conversation. They say this crap outloud. I mean really? What in the holy crap is happening to person to person communication.

It kills me, but I have been a member of Toastmasters for going on 19 years, so I value the art of speak and communicating.

 

[fastfraser]

What was this thread about again ?

 

[wyliec]

Who's on first?

I was riding my RS around Ft. Knox a few months ago and pulled into the PX Shopette alongside two really cute girls. The one driving says to me, "Is that like a trike?" They're cute, so I try not to roll my eyes and say, "Yes, it is." She replies with, "That's so cool! It's like a trike for young people!"

So there ya go! If you're old, like to ride slow, or ride two-up, get an RT. Everone else should get an RS. :thumbup:
