Getting on I-85 yesterday morning I felt it accelerated quickly. I was trying to be careful not to over rev the motor and did hit 3,500, it felt strong. Both of my other M8s had the stage 2 TQ cam and full exhaust so it will be interesting to see how it compares. Back when I bought my ‘17 I test rode a SG CVO and it just felt ok. Once I put some miles on the Limited 114 it felt much stronger. I’ll try to give some mileage updates over the next few weeks.
Thanks

YIKES, I-85 out of Concord is nasty. Construction to the north and traffic to the south!
Glad to see you put a real windshield on it. The one I test rode had that 1 inch tall wind multiplier on it and was like riding without a fairing.
Congrats. A truly beautiful RG! I would love to know the stats on new bike purchases while getting the current one serviced. I have had 5 Harleys in the past 15 years. Two of them were purchased while getting my current one serviced.
