[QUOTE="TooManyBikes, post: 1450868, member: 91287"] Regarding going to a 2012 Gen 2 or a five speed Gen 3, I bought a 2012 in 2016 and rode it for 15k miles, mostly touring - including a Los Angeles - WDC - Los Angeles ride for the 2019 Rolling Thunder parade. The bike is a joyful trouble-free ride. Bought a 2014 recently and it just made its first road trip - 2,400 miles around Arizona and Utah enjoying the fall colors. Aside from cruise control, the 2012 is everything I could hope for in a sports touring bike, and some of the 2014 technology menus seemed more complex. Indeed, if I felt comfortable with after market cruise controls, I would sell Hot Redhead and stay with my Blue Beauty. [/QUOTE]
