Now just to make more room in the garage
They've changed the motor on the 1200RT - it's now angry. I ride the R1200RTP all weekend... it's dreamy. My only complaint is there are too many buttons I threw on the sirens on a ride in Long Beach and didn't know how to turn them off. Good times.

The LT is just a tank - it has reverse and the automated center stand. The GT is the 1300 inline four. All of them are a different ride - the RT is my favorite, but then, it's the smallest and most nimble of the three.

i think either the 1300gt or the 1200rt would make adequate eventual repacements for the aprilia. Curious to see how they ride and see the differences side by side.

I rode it home from the rally/gap last year. that was my longest ride on it. I have also done numerous 400 plus mile days on it from twisty rides to slabbing/touring.
