I went to Freedom Cycle in Reno, NV last Friday. They have a line of in-house test riders. I took the Classic RIII for a ride and WOW. It handled very well in corners, considering size and being unfamiliar with the bike. The power/torque is amazing. When I got back I talked with the owners about the new RIII Touring bike. Before I had left, I put a down payment on the RIII Touring. Jet Black/New England White arriving in Jan. I will have two bikes to enjoy now. One of them will be for my 4500-5000 mile rides along with just day rides, the other (BA) will still be my Bad Blue rider. Just had to post this, I am barely able to contain myself at this point.

BA has Freak, 160mains, 44pilots, air mix3 1/2 to 4 turns, BUBS dresser dogs. Never had more fun on any bike - 2nd bike 2008 RIIIT
