Default 2012's

We went to our Intern'l M/C show this past weekend

lots of shineys there

We saw a couple of 2012's there our shop had on display,, They had the mattblack/mattgreen RS there.. I don't really like green but this actually looks good with the matt finish.

They also had the new copper color RT Ltd. YUK !!!!!!!!!!!!! will take a white one any day. We never got a chance to sit on to see how much they had changed the drivers seating position, but it "looks" like the passenger got squeezed. Hopefully they will have it in the shop so we can "test fit it " and see

Squashed the passenger how... by adding room for the driver or just padding up the backrests?

I've been curious about what they did as well... On another forum it was mentioned that the passenger backrest had been thinned some to move that seating position rearward a bit...
Does anybody have any further info on this?????

well the specs say they moved the driver back 2" and it looks like the driver lumbar thingy is higher

but too many people there to get on and see what it actually feels like..

I hope they put it in their showroom so we can take a closer boo at it
