[size=15px]Well it was a tough choice went in wanting either an RT or a B. Both great bikes but the test ride made the decision. 2021 K1600B Kalamata is now in the garage. I believe had it been just a solo bike the RT would have been fine. However we travel 2up a lot and the B just felt better to u...
