4) there are all kinds of do dads on the bike; radio, electric windshield etc... i played with the radio, but radio and wind noise are a crappy mix.
5) i played with the windshield and i either got turbulence from the shield or my helmet, but it was far from a silent ride.
6) the motor is very torquey, but nothing to write home about, and certainly doesn't have the snap of my bike.
7) the handlebars are a little strange, and the whole thing feels bulky.
8) i actually had the sensation i was riding a Bergman or some kind of big scooter.

...first of all you need more than 20 minutes to get used to a bike...
...take the RT out for a couple of days ; and you'll love it...
1) good choice
2) and with a set of Touratech seats it's even better
3)
don't recognize that
4) had a radio on my former 1150RT ; and decided a radio on a bike is completely useless, and therefor I didn't had one on the red RT.
5) get another helmet ; we both use BMW Sportintegral (silver on the RT, and red one on the S...
) helmets, and they are very quiet
6) the RT was never designed to be a sport bike, so the engine set up is very different. I must say, I like the new DOHC motor
7) strange...
8) a Bergman is a small RT...
