1700 mile trip on RT

[dtkennney]

I at the end of a 1700 mile trip on my new RT. Here are my thoughts:

first and and mist important my hats off to BRP. To everyone evolved in the design development and production -- job we'll done the RT is a home run.

The first few hundred miles of my trip required highway travel. I found the RT to be jittery kind of all over my lane. I thought I would have to get a lazier alignment when I got home. However after a few more hundred miles I relised that alignment had nothing to do with my problem. I was holding the handle bars too tight. Once I relaxed my grip thr bike ran true. Now if I feel the bike being jittery I just relax my grip

i do not know my exact gass mileage but I once went 180 miles before the gas light came on.

I come from from a two wheel background so I noticed that the RT is sensitive to road pitch and uneven grade. It is not a problem but requires more effort than a two wheeler.

I have the standard seat and found it quite comfortable.

One improvement BRP should consider is the ergonomics of the foot rests and the brake peddle. I found myself inadvertently hit the break on more than one occasion. I also used the foot wind guards as a foot rest to change my leg position.

That's it for now. More latter

Thanks for posting. Glad to hear that your :spyder2: is working out so well for you. :agree: that having three wheels that you feel the road conditions more (the one thing that's the hardest for me) as compaired to two, but it sure is easier to hold up:roflblack:.
:cheers: to many more miles of enjoyment.
