I've deleted the email but I think I asked for the value against a new RT or GSA. So both about  the 19K mark.

A new LE is £19,105, that's a cost to change of £7,355 after 2 years.

Stop watching TMF .... to be honest it does look a nice package ... but 😁

RT gone up in price so closer in cost to GW fool not to look. Leave TMF alone he highly rates his. Also after annual meets and meeting many RT riders do believe as the adverts claim you meet the nicest people on a Honda :beee: :music:

Is that Alpine white? Did the dealer put the red/blue detailing on?

It is the basic Alpine White with options added. I put the red and blue on, and had a go at adding pinstripes.
Had the colours on my 2017 1200RT so put them on this new bike.

I do like the white bike as my current 1250rt is white.
I really like the new front end of the 2021 bike.


Paynes1 you can put together a tutorial together on the new screen and connectivity.

Took a demo 2020 RT for a ride today at my local dealer while waiting for for 2021 to come in (US). Coming from a GS, wanted to make sure my long legs felt ok on the pegs. I sure do love that new 1250 engine! Any opinions on the high soft seat and or lowering the pegs? The riding position felt very comfortable but I could see my knee getting stiff on longer trips.

Picked mine up last Friday.
60 mile drive home,  so smooth.  Loving the quickshift.
Got used to the screen and controls very quickly.  Had to unlink my phone and helmet and connect both to TFT to work well.
Looking forward to getting out and using it more when I can.
Regards ,Mark
