    You're welcome. Good luck with your choices.

    I originally wrote 1/3, but thought that was being too stingy. You're probably right. Here's another review that shows 1/4 mile time of 13.97 secs. http://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/roadtests/touring_motorcycles_comparison/index.html

    Magazine tests I have read on the RSV show 0-60 in about 5.5 seconds and 1/4 mile times around 14 secs or high 13s. That isn't Goldwing territory, but it isn't slow. I have cruised for extended periods as fast as the CC would let me (just over 80 indicated) and the motor seems to be just getting to its happy place (sweet spot). As others have said, it isn't a 1800cc V-twin, it is a 1300cc V-4 and you need to rev it. If you shift it by ear like a V-twin, you're getting about 1/2 of the performance it is capable of. http://www.motorcycledaily.com/21january03yamaha03royalstarventure.html

    Sounds about like my RSV. Maybe a little quieter but the pitch is a little higher. I'm putting Road King mufflers on as soon as they get here.

    Gee I hope not, I switched mine out at 49k. 4000 miles later, it still doesn't leak.
