2012 First Ride

[maddcapper]

Just got back from a test ride on the 2012 RR. Not much to report when riding on the street with the break-in rev limiter. The new seat feels good and the handwarmers are super effective (had to turn them down to 'low' setting and ambient temp is 45 degrees)!

It's been over a month since I rode my '11 so it's hard to make any comparisons. I really want to feel the difference in the electronics. I will be waiting to see (along with many others) if a software upgrade will be offered some time in the future.

How was the throttle? Feels better than the old version doesn't it?

I didn't really pick up on that but it did seem to have more 'punch' due to the gearing change (my '11 is still stock).

I think he walked outside his office onto the showroom floor and said "I'll be back after lunch"
