Already hit some bit, not with the bike itself. It's great machine and I enjoy every moment on it so far.
The problem I have is the queue for service  ::)
I already done 400 miles (yes I really enjoy riding on RT) and the service appointment I can go is at 27th of July.
So I've done 400 miles in a week (ok two weekends) and now have left 200 miles for another 3 weekends  :'(
That will be tough time to not exceed it too much over 600.


So I should really book the service at the day I ordered bike really  :alas:




As for a RT itself. I do not denied that I enjoy it probably more than Kawasaki really. Yes RT is more heavy than Z1000SX, less power a bit, and not that sporty chassis geometry but, I feel on it very comfortable. Very easy to handle and cornering. Enjoy position and smooth ride.
I suspect that will be happy ownership  8)
