We needed a new machine because our ancient Moto Guzzis are not up to the task of carrying two full-fledged adults that kind of distance. We also didn't want to ride two bikes. Nor did we want to tow a trailer.
At some point we noticed those weird 3-wheeled things from Canada and thought "hmm...". So we did a little research and decided that would be the way to go.
It has cruise control!
It has power steering!
It has only one brake pedal (I still grab for a front brake though)!
It has traction control!
It has stability control (it doesn't like lifting the inboard wheel on fast turns - I tried)!
It has both front and rear trunks to carry lots of stuff!
Can-Am made a large number of changes to the RT model for 2014. So many changes in fact, that we thought it would make sense to get the new model rather than a previous year's model (which is what I usually do, 'cause I'm cheap!).
Nifty improvements include:
New 1330cc engine which has more power, better fuel economy, and longer service intervals-hydraulic lifters!.
New frame with larger, 15-inch tires.
Updated transmission.
Relocated radiators to direct hot air away from riders.
We chose the manual 6-speed transmission model because we are already used to shifting motorcycles (well, really 'cause I'm cheap - it's considerably cheaper than the automatic).
For a full description of this machine, check it out on the web (that's what the web is for).
