Jeff...Yep, I can see this. Rings a bell.
Bob S., I'd agree if she actually would ride. Seems there's always a good reason not to. Perhaps just not the time in our lives for two-up touring. Kids home from college, dogs, tennis schedule, etc.
This is the second boxer I've owned (had an 04 GSA a few years ago) and wasn't thrilled with it either. May keep an eye out for another RK. Fat, slow, vibrates, heavy but reliable, has a removable windshield for summer and decent wind protection with it on. I actually liked that bike. Time will tell, but the RT and I will not be bonding!
Sent a note to a guy in NC selling a 96 Duc 900SS/CR. Hmmm.
