When I picked up my 2016 R1200RT with 2,800 mis. from Max in Hampton , NH. I said here we go. I was not disappointed at all! So the learning curve began, weight dist. , lean, power, and the formidable mouse. After about 700 mis. I began to feel comfortable with the tele lever front end and suspension, not having encountered this type took a little getting use to. The RT ran flawlessly all summer and have to admit handled better than my 2012 FJR which I loved. When ever I had a question the forum had answered it, so hats off to the members for their unselfish advice and experience. Every time I rode the RT it was so much fun, and I told my friend who is a "Gussi Boy" I should have bought this bike 2yrs. ago rather than the Triumph 1200 XcR, as banged my head on the table. The RT is now asleep in the garage because the weather has turned in Northern NH so off to my other toys. Looking forward to forum talk, and forming my wish list for summer, riding with forum members and maybe a well deserved ride to Montana this coming summer.:
