Just wish they could beef up the power output on their engines, if so, they’d significantly boost sales. I really enjoy looking at their retro designs, even more so than Triumph’s take on the classic look. Another big plus for RE, is the vast array of exciting color options they offer for each model. One other thing that they need to do is to improve their website for spec details, it’s not up to par vs major brands.

Wax the cases once in awhile. Ride the bike comfortably for the last 34000 miles without a dealer visit for a warranty issue.
Hands down, the best two wheel buy on the planet.

I read somewhere that these now have the RE comfort seat which supposedly is really good.

Burt, I have a 2019 and no problem with side cover corrosion. Just apply chrome polish after washing and buff them out.

That issue, known by many, denied by several, turned my attention away from thoughts of a purchase.
