Really enjoyed this bike, but it's a world of difference between this and the RT.  This bike is bare-bones, none of the amenities that have spoiled me with the RT.  I will say, the gearbox was much nicer.  No clunk in first, neutral was easy to hit, and very short throws.

In the city where I live the highest speed limit is 50 mph. I find 28 BHP enough.
