One of the salesman at my local dealer said he was "told", by who I don't know, is that the only reason for the redesign was that the molds for fairing was getting too worn so they have decided to do the redesign. He doesn't think that it will not be much different than the old one.
my sources at the test track, tell me the 2015 RG will have the new 4.3 infotainment center(upgradable to the 6.5), two gauges, oil pressure and volt meter. the tank will be a RK tank, with the fuel gauge in the tank, the 120 ST (street) motor with 255 cams will be stock and it will be air cooled, with an oil cooler and will include the larger SE oil pan increasing capacity to just under 5 qts. It will utilize the new 49 MM front forks.
it will carry the 18/16 combination wheel and tire package. It will be rated out of the box at 110/120 and will carry the standard 2 year warranty.
they tell me they have been running this package for about 3 months and that the main hold up in getting it to the dealers, is waiting for the twin cooled bikes to sell through so they are reintroduce the RG to convince early adopters of twin cooled batwing bikes to trade yet again for the fixed faring RG with the 120.
Whew .. guess I'm not obsoleted with my 120R, 21/16 combo ( 200 on the rear ) ..
Guess I just need to upgrade my stereo to that purdy' 6.5" screen ?
