2023 Rt test ride

Well, nothing planned for this morning so i call up and got myself a test ride on a nice shiny 2023 Rt. Only had an hour, so off i rode. To say the least, i like the engine and gearbox. They are so different compared to my 07. Comfort was about the same and wind protection better or not the case is still open. I did not like the dash i prefer the old clocks. Suspension is better in dynamic.
If i could take the engine and gearbox and fit them to mine i would be over the moon. In all, there were not enough changes apart from those mentioned that would make me upgrade to a new model. Rumor has it that after the new GS1300 comes out later this year, a new RT will follow.
So i told my old girl that she shouldn't worry and we will not be splitting up anytime soon. ;)

New ones are magnificent machines. But I like the looks of older models better.

Not having the funds to get the new one may have something to do with this but nevertheless... :mrgreen:
