Hello. I have been reading the threads for awhile now and registered today. I am an owner of a 2006 Ultra, love the bike. I will say no more on that.
I was considering a new one but a number of reasons have me considering other choices like keeping the Ultra and getting a second bike. I am aware of the insurance etc on two bikes. Not looking for any info other than directly related to the RSV.
I have not had a big interest in the RSV but find it is growing on me. The bike is very well liked by the owners. In addition to that I feel like the RSV is a bargain to be had as all I have been looking at are months on the floor and dusty. A near by dealership had a new Voyager for months and 4 Wings and an RSV. All for many months. I went in the other day and two Wings and the Voyager were gone. The RSV still sits there and I have never even seen any one looking at it. It is the sand color and another near by shop has the red. I believe one is the S model.
Combine all that with a 5 yr warranty and my interest is sparked more.
I had had Yamaha 550 and a 750 in the 70's. Great quality then and now.
I would like input pro and con on the 2009 RSV. I realize the bike has changed little and this will be a biased group of owners.
I have seen a few complain about heat, huh, can not be as bad as a Harley. I hae seen many complaints on the whine.
Any thing else?
Thank you very much for the time and objective discussion in advance.
