Hello all
Well - my first impressions after some 500km this weekend.
Saturday - used to mount all my extras - Bike2Bike, AKE intercom etc etc.
Then a full ACF-50 and wax session.
The San Marino metallic - is really shiny after a new layer of wax :-)
Sunday - a 500km test-ride with my wife along :-)
I need to change the position of the gear leveler - as when I preload the shifter before changing gear - the gear-shift pro is doing it’s job - and it all ends up in a strange shifting - when both of us is shifting at the same time ;-)
As a starter - If I could have the RT with the 1600 engine and the totally relaxed sitting position as on the LT - then I had my perfect bike ;-)
I would like to see the handlebars a little more backwards - as I find my sitting position to be a little bit to much forward.
With the low seat option - i find the knee to easily be cramped, but will try to lover the pegs 1-2cm and see what happens - also with the roads cleanse under cornering.
I have the touring screen on, but my life is telling me that she has more wind on the shoulders now than on the 1600.
For me - the screen is perfect. Much better wind protecting on my hands and arms - than on the 1600.
My feet - gets a bit warm now - have to learn to hold them a bit further out into the cold ear.
The bike is grate - a bit of vibrations (I can learn to live with it) - and the bike is a little to noisy from the exost for me and my wife.
But - in total - we will have many interesting and nice km on this bike - I’m sure. It suits my kind of riding better than the 1600.
Nothing wrong with the 1600 - only the RT is more me
Like my wife is saying it - The 1600 is a limousine - taking you long distance in best mane possible , the RT is a motorbike - taking you a little shorter distance, but with mush more fun.
So in total - sorry to say, but I have no complains so far
