When ever I go for a refresher on the RT, (sometimes it’s un marked Gixxer ... sometimes marked RT) we (obviously) spank it to within an inch of its life.
And I tell yer what .... it’s bloody amazing what those RT’s will do! It all runs out of puff at 130, but for a tourer ... very very capable bike! I’ll get one when I’m 70
And ... (use the opportunity to say now...) .. one Bike V another on the road is 80% down to the rider. (unless you’re actually going to do rolling third gear drag races and shenanigans like that).
Posting ‘I blew my mate away on my ‘*’ bike ... he couldn’t keep up .. ‘ etc etc... means fuck all! I have seen work colleagues (So class one riders ...!) riding Blades and Gixxers left behind and unable to keep up with well ridden RT’s!!
1290 v GS ???? Nah ... one rider V another ...
