Finally got to ride my RGU M8
I have had it since November, the bad weather kept me off of it until today. Got up to 70 Degrees here in IA. Took the afternoon off and got 107 miles in!
The stage II is incredible! A little noise in the top end of the motor, but runs very smooth and pulls like a workhorse. Will likely quiet down with some miles. Picking up quite a bit of heat on the right ankle, but vents were closed on the lowers. Couldn't really open it up yet, but damn, I love this bike. I can't imagine a stage IV, and now I'm seeing posts on V!
Also, I put a Long Ride medium tint 13" shield on this winter. Man, huge difference over the stock. Not sure about the passenger, but wind noise is drastically reduced for the rider.

Yea, I was worried about the same thing, but found that the country roads have no salt on them. I live right on the NE edge of Davenport, so slipped out of town and hit the clean back roads. Got over 150 miles in this weekend, and it was sweet!

I have a stage I and was contemplating stage II. With all of the positive comments about it, I might have to pull the trigger.
I noticed the heat near the right ankle also. If it's just the way the aerodynamics work with the heat coming off the engine/exhaust, then it is what it is. But if the heat source is coming from the cat, I'm removing it.
