First/foremost...my name in Ken Smith and I'm sending this post to ya'll from Abilene, Tx. I currently ride a 2009 GSXR when I'm feeling young and a 2006 Electra Glide classic when I'm feeling old (no offense to anyone). I've been contemplating for some time now whether to purchase the RT, but am having a hard time deciding whether I want to part with the money.
Additionally, my father (who is 64) currently rides a Wing, but is hoping to buy a Wing trike with the hopes my mom will ride with him more so than she does now. Not a Wing fan myself, I'm trying to steer him towards the Can-Am. He lives down in Albuquerque and took the RT for a test drive, but was less than impressed with regards to the power. He felt it was lacking, although it was a simple around-the-block test drive. Not necessarily an ideal situation to truly gauge the Sypder's capabilities. And he feels like he's getting more for the money (although it cost more) with the Wing.
I'm hoping there's some of ya'll out there who have owned both and would be willing to share your opinions of both. Not looking for anyone to bash the Wing, but just a simple opinion/assessment of both.
I did a search of the forums to see if there were any previous threads on subject, but nothing came up....unless I didn't put in the right keywords.
Many thanks in advance.
Ken
