Yup, I'm watching this one closely. I fear it it will be priced outside my budget though. Oh well, K-Bikes are generally much more reasonably priced on the used market.

I like it!!

Dang Jay is getting heavy into the motorcycle scene. Anyone see the article recently about him hosting a Team Yamaha party before the Laguna Grand Prix?

Nice bike. Interesting about the headlight, I was just yesterday morning on my way to work thinking how something like that would be nice.

Now then...the Goldwing is getting long in the tooth. Let's see how they retaliate against this. I love competition.

That bike is photo shopped right?

That's a much better perspective. The shot with Jay has a minivanesque look.

**Xdriver** · 10-09-2010, 06:17 PM

I like. A monster of a bike. Sure the weight falls right off once underway... As is said of every heavy bike.

The pic in Leno's garage has it as ugly as a Victory motorcycle. Too much of everything for my taste.

I like it! Not that I can afford it, but I like it!

**kurt** · 10-10-2010, 10:57 AM

I'll bet as touring bikes go, it won't be that heavy. The RT comes in at 570lbs. wet and the K1300GT is only 625. Compared to the Goldwing or Ultra, at close to 1000lbs, it won't be bad at all.

BexarWolf · 10-10-2010, 12:05 PM

29" seat height. Even the vertically challenged could throw a leg over that thing.

Me like

Even the wife said "I'd ride on the back of that" so that's a huge

Interesting... Jay was a BMW mechanic "back in the day" in Boston.

Has anyone heard when this might hit stores? I really want to sit on one and see if it fits me as well as it does in my head........

I was in my local dealer yesterday, drooling over some other bikes, and the salesman said they had been told March/April with a price in the mid 20's.

Mid 20's?

Or so I thought until I saw the pricing for the top end Harleys/Victories
