Funny how that happens. People who have batwings always tell me that they can't deal with the fixed fairing. I tell them 10 minutes and you forget all about it.

i saw a 2015 RG with 16" apes at the dealer. i sat on it just cause thinking they would be too tall but they were really comfortable. i turned fully each way and was never too stretched out. im 5'7"
