Made me want to go to Romania, but didn't make me want to dash out and trade my R1200RT for a Bagger .....

So had the ride and I will not be trading in the RT - loved the power but the engine had a really annoying whine, I liked the footrests but that's all they are, cant change gear or brake!!??? so I ended up keeping feet on pegs, I mean you can cruise around in 6th at 25mph and it will pull all the way but that's not my thing really. The new gear shift pro was awesome and worked a lot better than the rt one but there is no way I will be changing. So a nice saving of 8k - lush will wait to see what updates on 2019 model of RT
