Newbie to RSV question

[mcgwire723]

Hi all, I have read a lot of the posts on here, and read a lot from other online searches about the RSV. I have also been looking at tons of "extras/upgrades". My question is: My bike is a 2012. Is it a Gen 2 or considered something else. Most of the items I find are for bikes up to 2010. Have they just not updated their parts dates?

 

Thanks

Your bike is a 2nd gen. All the bikes from 99-2013 are the same save minor differences, some of the later models had an ipod or cd changer. I'm sure one of the guys will jump in with more technical nfo in a few.

A nice thing,,, you still have 3 years (or more) on your warranty.

Not that they break often,,, just nice to have.

Should have an isimple and ipod

Find whatever Star accessories that you can as a lot of them have been discontinued. A couple of members here sell aftermarket goodies that they make themselves.

 

Exactly what kind of goodies are you looking for? Chrome, performance, or creature comfort?

 

BTW welcome aboard!

Discontinued production last year because they could not find a suitable manufacturer for the cassette decks.

Thanks for all the info.

 

I have been looking at the chrome bag guards mostly.

 

It does have the iSimple interface, but didnt come with the ipod :-( but I have one

Congrats also on owning a pure blooded 2nd Gen, better known around here as the perfect motorcycle!!
