We needed a break, does not get any better than a smooth riding/running airhead.

If I couldn't ride an AIRHEAD, I'd quit riding
I have a buddy with an R69S. We went to a large vintage bike show together and decided that the parking lot was the wrong place for our bikes. THe show was great. Billy Joel came incognito on his Moto Guzzi and sat it for a few sets with the band. No one know it was him singing since they weren't doing his songs.
might have battery covers and a title saying RT, but not an RT fairing at all,
if a ttiled RT it will ( or most likely has) have a final drive ratio rated to pull the extra weight and accelerate faster, but at the sacrafice of higher engine rpm and lower mpg at crusing speed
other than that, very nice looking bike, very nice
My favorite rides: 76 R90/6 and 93 R100R Legend. Unfortunately they are asleep in the garage for a little while longer as it's finally Mar the 'Spring' month![]()
Stopped along the Rockfish River in Nelson County, Virginia.
