Wethead RT resistance to overheating??

How resistant are the 2014 - 2018 RT's to overheating? I'm looking at a 2017 or 2018 but need to have a bike that I can be stuck in a lengthy traffic jam on the interstate in 95+ F degree temps. My 2013 RT will reach critical temps in these conditions. Thanks!

Re: 1200 RT Pulls when brakes applied in a turn

Thanks a million for all your input.  Apparently my 1200GS brakes have allowed me to develop a bad habit or two in regards to taking a turn.  I noticed pronto that the brakes on the RT I experienced this "rising up" with are far more sensitive and than mine.  In fact, mine have been a ...

Re: 1200 RT Pulls when brakes applied in a turn

That would certainly cause it David but I don't think so.  I've ridden for years and never experienced that before.  My current is a R1200GS so I am familiar with BMW brakes.
