Re: Fresh blood! Considering purchasing an RT

Well, today was the day! A balmy 37 °F when I left the dealer with my very own '14 in the ebony black paint. Had a very nice ride back south to the warmer climes (43 °F!) of home, between the heated grips, seat, and the size of the windshield I was amazingly comfortable (I wouldn't quite go so far ...

Re: The real difference between 14 and 15 model?

You get 2 keys/fods in UK but having used it for about 6 months on a K it just annoyed me. Leave a key in your pocket and its sure to get lost so you hang it round your neck obviously under your riding gear. And when you stop and want to lock you pannier or set the alarm you have  start di...

Re: The real difference between 14 and 15 model?

A mate here called Grumpy has ordered his 2015 model. In Oz the "standard" and only spec basically has everything on it bar top box and GPS. He told me that his comes standard with alarm and central locking over the 2014. So that's two other differences. Grumpy...actually a really good blo...

Re: How Many Use A Camera When Riding

It's illigal and people are being fined in some states of Australia. They get us on a law that says nothing can extend a couple of mm past the surface of your helmet. The cops reciently had a blitz and issued numerous fines. I think the gov needed money

Re: The real difference between 14 and 15 model?

Excellent info, really great stuff. I was secretly hoping that the 2014 was the same. The deal is very good on 2014 models. The keyless is no deal breaker hats for sure. I have a Prius that has that and I end up putting it in the little slot anyway.

Great, thanks heaps guys.
