Taken on the way to West Bend
I'd like to sell one of these to get a GS or pimed out Honda XR for the many backroads here in my neck of Arkansas.
It's the rearward extension of the Vetter lowers.What's that just above the carb and jug? Part of the fairing
...There is no question that in just about every way, the R12RT is leaps and bounds beyond the R100RT -- performance, handling, ABS, traction control, precision control over fuel delivery, etc. -- but the funny thing is, if I had to choose between the two, the R12 would be out the door first. The "feel" of the R100RT is somehow just where I'm at today.
Nice pictures Mark. I was going to ask you if you had to choose...
I began lusting after an RT when I first discovered bikes, but now I guess I'd go with the character of an Airhead. Gotta say though, that the newer RT's don't handle like you would expect--they are still very nimble. They look huge, until you ride one. I was completely surprised. Still want to ride a GS.
I love the size comparison. Here's on of Goldwings (I love the series I). Seems to happen to most successful bike lines over time.
wow, that is amazing. i can clearly remember the first time i rode a 1975 Wing, circa '77 or so- i thought it was massive!
cool idea above of shots of old/new versions of the bikes. Here is a HP2 sitting next to a "modified" R80G/S. About 25 years of change
