Well, I've bought my 4th RT this last weekend and I'm finally water cooled! I've been drooling over the 1250s coming out, but I'm returning to school for a couple years and it's just not in the budget. I found quite a bargain on a used 2016 RT with only 12k miles and jumped on it. Coming from my camhead, it's a subtle, but nice upgrade. Slightly more power all around, smoother engine, feels a little heftier, but steering is still quick. Clutch feel is a little different, but I'll get used to it. Now begins my journey of farkling it up and learning the maintenance routines. Already ordered new levers, bar risers, and Sargent seat. Clearwaters will probably be next.
Anyways, I still love my "old" RT. It's still in the family as my wife has fallen in love with it and will be using it to commute (88,000 miles on it and it just got a new clutch, so it's good to go!). I'm excited about this new bike and can't wait to take it out on some longer trips!
