I just retired recently, 40+ years of practicing Family Medicine! So.....I sold my 2018 RS (my personal ride) and my 2018 1650 GTL (our bike, my wife and I). Too much $ for tires, insurance, tune-ups, license tags, state and local property taxes....SHEESH! So, I decided to go back to my RT roots and took a good hard look at the 2023 RT sitting on my dealer's floor....Then I took it for a brief ride, local roads and super slab. I LIKED IT!
But Dude, it was Barbie Eyes Blue
so I decided to order the Alpine White with round handlebars rather than the stock cast aluminum dudes. Did I mention that I'M OLD. I also purchased a set of risers that lift and separate; well lift and pull back about a cm or 2....just right!
I really love this bike! That shift cam motor is a beast when you want it to be and a solid, easy-going big twin cruiser when droning along the super-slab just as comfortable and competent as one could imagine, when you want it to be!
Also, I really like the active cruise control function as well, I've come to enjoy that on my cars, now i can enjoy it on my bike too! -Dr Ron
