warriorhoneybee Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share #26 Posted June 6, 2012 thanks for the info. I've heard that a couple of times from different ones so I'm thinking I'll just keep the 06 RSV,well for now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby G Posted June 6, 2012 Share #27 Posted June 6, 2012 The knock on the 2012 heat management upgrade that I'm hearing is that it redirects the heat via a fan system that kicks on when the main radiator fan kicks on, but it sends it to an exhaust port right above the rear passenger's left foot pad, which will burn their foot right off in pretty short order. Not a great design if true. I test rode the 2012 last fall, and really liked how it handled, but the seat issue, heat issue and drop off in overall power from the RSV has me going in a different direction when it's time to look to replace the Ole '99. Still holding out hope that the "new" RSV (3rd Gen?) will be announced in the not too distant future with the upgraded VMAX engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would start looking for another bike, 3rd gen will never happen my thoughts are it will be killed off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
