Went and picked it up today. One test ride and I was hooked.

2002 R-1150 RT.

Only issues are:
1. I can only get toes on the ground. Will try shaving the seat bumpers, then shorter shocks if necessary.

2. A slight whine when going slow in 1st gear from the transmission. The owner said it had always done that. He struck me as very honest so I disregarded the slight sound.

Man what a ride! If I could only buy longer legs... :clap

The RRT's saddle is very wide in the nose. A custom saddle can fix this problem. When the nose is narrowed, it will cause your legs to "grow".

Any suggestions on which saddle is best for narrowness?

TIA

The Corbin I have is very wide in front and makes the bike feel even taller.
