Default Goodbye RG, hello SG
I've had an '02 and an '09 RG, loved them. Just time for a switch so I picked up a '17 SGS. My '09 RG was a 96 with FM headpipe, TW 5-6, V&H monster ovals and dyno tuned with a PC5. The stock 107 feels much stronger. Anyway just got it home but diggin the change so far and I'm sure fuelmoto will be helpin out again 😜

Just curious if you test rode a 17 RG as well as the SG and preferred the SG?

Not sure if you are asking me or OP but I did not. I knew I wanted a SG again.

Didn't test the new RG, I'm sure it would have been awesome as well, that new motor is soooo sweet.
