Hi Bill. I went with a 2016 RT in metallic ebony. I loved my 6. It’s an amazing machine and I’d like to get another one some day, but it’s a big bike and I dropped it twice in 6 months during low speed u-turns. It’s got a high center of balance that ocassionally caught me off guard. I think I’m a pretty good rider but I was never 100% confident on it. I also considered getting a GS but Cindy wasn’t thrilled about that. After talking it over with Kevin and others at Irv Seaver’s we went with a nicely equipped RT.
The RT doesn’t have brute force power and torque of the 6 but it’s lighter, and in my opinion, more nimble and sportier too. I think it’s better looking as well. And it costs a bit less.
