You guys are delusional. Everyone knows that neither of those are the fastest colours.

I had one of those! In Silver! Plate holder said Hi-Ho Silver! It was a great ride...
Nice machine, welcome to the funny farm!
PS. No matter what color, an R is WAY faster than a RS! (But Silver R's are the quickest of the R bikes)

Well, when your speed calculation includes ferry transits, a bicycle might be faster than an RS.

Do you really want to go there? Now we'll have to listen to that whole story about how Canada won the war. The one in 1812, that is.
Then, some dimwit will have a caustic remark about hockey, or other frozen, flat world activity.
So, let Samuel Johnson & Noah Webster "duke it out" in the great beyond.
In the the mean time, we should return to discussing the insecurities of one letter Oilhead riders and poor color selection.

#1: That letter "u" comes in handy when playing Scrabble.
#2: That's the view RS riders typically have of "S" bikes. Especially the blue ones.
#3: That picture was taken in Seabeck's state, just south of Yakima. It was 42 degrees at the time. Celsius. Translate to US degrees: Frickin' hot!

Actually, it's above 46-degrees every single day of the year in Yakima.

Who says money can't buy happiness
Enjoy and disregard the snarky comments from the "S" folks. Being that they ride BMW's with only one letter in the model name, they're envious of those riders with the more endowed models, as signified by the two letters in the name.
Well, maybe money can't buy happiness, but it can by an RT, which to my mind is happiness distilled!
And yes, endowment does matter...
Are you referring to the fleece pad or the backrest? I'm new to the pad, but had a backrest on my first RT (same vintage as this one, same color, too) and knew I wanted one for this one.
I rode 2400 miles in 6 days (actually in 5 days - took a break on day 3), my first riding in 12 years (!) and the backrest made all the difference.
I always wear my 'Stich when I ride, so I'm not sure how much effect the fleece pad has. It came with the bike, whereas I added the backrest when I bought the bike. Still had a serious case of monkey butt after 5 days nearly continuous riding. Maybe I should put the fleece pad INSIDE the 'Stich?
The color made me buy the bike again, after a 12 year riding hiatus. I'm a sucker for that color, and it's the same as the RT I had before.

Kind of makes you feel like you can go home again.
Sounds like a few friends of mine when they were picking second/third generation spouses..........

My pleasure. This "S" picture is from a high fibre (for our Canadian friends), low protein Bovine diet.
That tears it. I'm only buying you 4 beer if you show up at the rally in Billings.

I'll double that offer at Hamburg in 2016. Sadly, I'm not going to make Billings. Trying to get a bathroom remodel underway in July.
