Greetings from Wisconsin! FNG just moved up to an adult bike after the last twenty years on Harleys. If anyone's going to be in Leland the first Sunday in May I'll be sporting my 07' R12RT this year.

Welcome aboard! I got my first adult bike (from a street glide) in August. You won't regret your purchase but you will wonder why it took you so long.
Enjoy,

Thanks Kewlmoose. When and where does the Club meet. I'm just up the road near the Horicon Marsh.
Hey Redcat, I don't own a HD, but I sure like them. One is in my future.
But certainly, the R12RT is a more performing bike and you'll have fun.
HD riders tend to not rev the Boxer as much as they should. Keep your shifts in the 5k+ range (so each shift drops RPM down no lower than 4k RPM) and you'll be happier with the bike. I tend to cruise along at about 4k RPM.
Keep the final drive oil clean and changed, and you'll have a lot of fun on that bike.

You're probably right Jack. I'll never be a Harley hater, but after twenty years with H-D it was time for a change.
I had my day in the sun on Harleys and enjoyed every minute of it. Just finally got bored and wanted to try something else a little queiter and smaller. I ran out of testosterone at 72.
Welcome aboard,

I had a 2004 FXDL (Dyna lowrider). Looked cool (was customized quite a bit), but man it handled like a brick. It didn't last long in my garage. I'm a "motorcycle guy". I don't tie myself to a manufacturer (unless they feel like sponsoring me)
