Went and saw the Black Edition*yawn*, RTL-T and a RTL-E. The dealer is allotted another White on Black RTL-E that we worked out a deal on. Build started Wednesday and it should arrive mid/early July for delivery.

The '12 RTS has served me well for 61k trouble free miles. One set of tires (still almost new), rear brakes once, oil & filter changes/services were it. Put a spacer lift and went from 70 to 75 aspect ratio tires and still kept the factory mud flaps on. I wouldn't do it again given the chance. Not enough of a change for the loss of mileage.

Looking forward to Honda Sensing and Apple Play the most. Rear Weathertech mats should swap, and a pair of front Pilot mats should do the trick up front.

Yeah, it needs front brakes soon. Rotors have a rust ridge that's making some noise on hard turns. That's the rust belt for you though.

They started my build the 22nd says their online dealer site, and it went on the train monday and is expected the 8th of july and their contact is attempting to expedite the transfer from the rail yard to the dealer since it's sold so maybe mid next week for the delivery. One can only hope...

Scheduled arrival of the 8th, came the 9th, I take delivery the 12th after work. Spent the weekend at The AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days @ Mid-Ohio Raceway.

Update, 60k miles and traded it in on a ‘19 in Dec of 2019. Dealer gave it away with 0% with Honda’s incentives and to make their quota bump for end of year. RL #3 for me.
