While I am a newbee to riding (only 10 years), I have mostly rented HD in the past. I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!
Living in Florida (tired of shoveling snow in Wiscopnsin) I can now ride year round. I have been reading MOA magazine for the past 3 years - its interesting and much like my aviation pilots association publications - very member oriented.
My question - What are the primary items to review when considering the purchase of an RT.
I am considering a 2004-2008 1150RT or 1200RT with under 70K miles. Newer ones are a little outside of my current 2 wheel budget.
If this were a Beech or Cessna aircraft, I know of several model specific inspection guides I could use to evaluate a prospective purchase.
I understand the twin spark change (05? model year) solved some nagging engine issues. What else should I be looking for. Most of the bikes I am considering have service records available.
Thanks for your feedback.
