Happy Days mate. I’m a virgin too.  Had mine a couple of months now.  1500 miles and loving it.  Took me a little to get used to the linked brakes.  But it’s coming lol.

I bought my ‘11 rt in 2014 with low miles. I came from inline 4s and inline twins so it took me a bit of time to be completely comfortable on the rt. I honestly thought that I’d be trading it in for something I was more used to. Until I took it on a trip up the California coast from San Diego to Monterey. I was hooked. Most comfortable, nimble (splitting/filtering) Los Angeles traffic like a champ, fuel economy, premium package accoutrements etc. Love this bike and I don’t want to ride a ‘14-‘19 rt because I know I will have to have one. Congrats on getting an rt and welcome to the forum!

Leave it! That's if it's stuck in the open position?
The GS 'is' the better bike :-)
