2009 vs 2010 RT

Post by BILI »

From people who have personal experience with both, thoughts about the 2005-2009 vs. the 2010-2013 RT?

Any downsides to the 2010+?

I've had both, a 2007 Hexhead and two Camheads (2010 & 2012) still got the latter.

I see that you are "considering" a 2012 Camhead.

If you go for a 2010 model try and go for a late 2010 because they changed to a fuel float instead of the problematic fuel strip.

In my experience the camhead is a far superior motor.
