Re: New Wethead RS!
Don't most bikes (that have a hybrid display) usually have the tachometer on the analog dial, and the speedometer is digital?
Oh well, doesn't matter. I can't get past the huge fuel tank/airbox. And as far as the fairing goes, when I think "RS", I think of a aerodynamic work of art. This bike doesn't do that for me.

But it IS an aerodynamic work of art. It's just not one that appeals to you.Rob wrote:Oh well, doesn't matter. I can't get past the huge fuel tank/airbox. And as far as the fairing goes, when I think "RS", I think of a aerodynamic work of art. This bike doesn't do that for me.
Owning an Oilhead RS myself, I can so how, art-wise, mine sits squarely in the middle between the original and this incarnation.

Re: New Wethead RS!
I bet it's an absolute blast to ride. I'd rather have a GS though.
Re: New Wethead RS!
Me too, if for no other reason than leg-room. Of course the other reasons are good too.Steve in Golden wrote:I bet it's an absolute blast to ride. I'd rather have a GS though.

Re: New Wethead RS!
It reminds me of the R more than RS.
Great bike! If money were available that would have been my choice I think. Or the 9T offcourse, but that's another bag..
Cheers!

Summary: New bike 10kg heavier but 78% more power and better ecconomy. Although they believe the new bike far superior the owner of the airhead is content with his bike.
Of course he is!
