Hello all. This is my first post, but I'm hoping to benefit from the collective knowledge and saddle time on making a decision to replace my '16 RS with the '19 RT.
First, I've always had to be canted a bit forward in the saddle to keep pressure off of my tailbone. If I have pressure on my tailbone, my day is over after about 2 hours. The RS does that nicely, but now I'm starting to get fatigue in my wrists -- which I guess is a new era in my aging process. So the question is if any of you have had the same issue and if a saddle has cured that particular problem on an RT?
Second, I've ridden BMWs before with the Telelever and always felt like the front end was disconnected from the road. Nice when bombing down the highway, but really got under my skin in the corners when pushing hard. I'd love to hear comments from those of you who've either ridden both types (telelever and telescopic) or have recently converted and have gotten used to it.
Finally, I'd love to just trade the bike in, but it seems like dealers are always trying to get a bit too much out of my wallet so will likely sell it. I'm not sure how to price the bike as there aren't many RS' sold in our area. Any advice on pricing would be helpful.
Thanks much.
