The fun starts when you're off roading on the RT and your brakes don't work because you don't have the ability to turn your ABS off lol. That's before you get to the limited off road options of tyre choice for the RT 8) some folks like their flying wardrobes, some folks like a bike that does everything pretty good. Each to their own.

Here's a picture of a GS in wet misty conditions :D You won't find many RT's with their 'great weather protection' out in them circumstances lol.

You wear heated gear at 20 degrees C! and don't venture out of the house between October and April! There's no way you'd even think about going out on a bike in those temps!
