Now see what bike gets the most road time???? it my not be your every day "go to" bike, but when you want to ride in total comfort and style, I bet the RK gets the nod.

Great story, beautiful bike.

Can't wait for some warm and dry weather to ride my RK. Until then I'm riding my K75RT.

Thanks for the enjoyable read this morning.............great way to start my day.

Great looking bike - I myself almost picked up a white RK a few years ago - went with a black EGC though.

Ride on..................
