Yes indeed. I am not a huge fan of the RNineT lineup (even though they are nice enough and I like roadsters) but this one pays homage to the RS in a very flattering way.
Still, Ray has a point (implied) about the luggage. Would be nice if they fitted luggage without the present RS racks, and more like the "clip on" mounting like on the GS. But at the end of the day, they are not making a sport tourer. It see it as still being a roadster but with a heritage RS look. I like the idea and if they added it to the RNineT I bet it would sell well, especially if they could keep the exhaust small and still comply with Euro 5 requirements. I am a huge fan of the underslung exhausts, especially since getting the Tracer.
