RT is not a RR for sure, none the less it's a great handling and a very good riding steed
If your new bike has audio, spend some time with dealer learning the radio, setting am/fm/sat channels can be a bit confusing
Enjoy

If only we had more paved roads than dirt where I live, an RT would be part of my stable. Enjoy, and post photos when you get it home!

Picked up my new RT on Monday, too cold for a ride but did 93km on Tues and then BAM! Almost a foot of snow last night! Must not be living right!

Congratulations...I picked up my new RT 2 weeks ago. Since I rode it home we've had lousy weather including 4" of snow Monday...so I can relate! Pouring rain and 30 knot winds today...grrrrrrrrr.

Sorry, it was almost 30 C here in OK today. I don't envy you Canucks with your long winters and Justin Bieber.

Yes, but you have the best sport in the world--hockey! Congratulations to all of you on your new RTs. Amazing bike.

We favour diversity in Canada. At least we can agree on the RT being a great bike, and riding to clear the mind of everything.
