[QUOTE="HotRodZilla, post: 1259004, member: 13519"] No Spud, they do not. Our traffic unit has a whole new set of 2015 RTs. They're super pretty, and are obviously faster than the previous models. They are NOT as fast as an FJR, nor is their handling significantly auperior. They feel lighter up top, but the weight is still there. We went on a ride the other day and played with the throttle side. There's just no pulling out of a corner as hard as an FJR on an RT. I will say this: If I was ahead, I could pull away. If I was behind them, I was right behind them, but passing them was going to take balls and be more risky than I really wanted to deal with. The older RTs were easier to pass. Still, the two cylinder motors have a hard time beating the in line 4. [/QUOTE]
