Let me see the RT is nicer build quality , hardware, the connie goes creak,creak, creak reaffirming the RT betterbuilt and your waiting for warped rotors , Ki pass failure,high speed wobble.
I was looking at the ST 1300 till I found out about the heat issues and the high speed WOBBLE , wrong bike the wobble is the ST1300. The rotor problems on the early bikes, were fixed under warranty , how many bikes come with a three year warranty that can be extended cheaply.
The Connie was the last bike that I looked at, I've always had Hondas and Yamahas.
I've wanted a BMW for a while ,a old mans bike
was going to get a 2011 RT till I took a test ride , I love the power of the Connie, I've raced dirt bikes, snowmobiles, cars and boats our outboard drag boat Championship race is Oct 13,14 in Jasper Tenn. wish you could make it so I could show you my limp wrist. I'm so lazy that I'm the only person in the whole country that designed and builds his own race boats, I have made three different hull molds, My only intolerance is with know it all's.
I do plan on buying a pancake motor, a Honda Rune , since they are so ugly, It will make me look better.
