That's correct.
Where do you go for a test ride in the KC area?
I rarely test ride bikes there because it's in the city.
Great test ride today for my first time on a boxer! It was Debbie's bike, according to Peter, and, while it confirms that the "triangle" mods I was planning to make are 100% in order, it was still very easy to get used to, and a blast to ride! A couple of minutes to figure out the "footwork," and from there it was "have more torque, sir!" time.
The typical route from Engle's is East on Truman Rd under the highway toward downtown Independence. You pass by Harry Truman's home and end up in the Independence square.
There's a nice hilly sweeper (uphill going out, downhill on the way back) just East of the freeway, so it's a great way to get started and an even better way to end! It's not long, but it's told me what I needed to know about four bikes so far!
The RS was definitely a new experience for me, and I think I get it when I read about the character of the engine and how responsive it is. This bike encourages you to go faster.
So, we did the paperwork as far as we could, as the mothership is still not even doling out allocations to dealers on RSs, although Peter said that's likely to change by mid-November-ish.
ETA on a finished bike is probably late April, best anyone can guess.
Sold!
