Just visited my local dealer and saw the '04 RS with the SSSA. Way cool. Now I am torn between it and the TBS. I'm pretty close to having the cash saved up to get either bike, but not both. The RS has a $1000 rebate for military, so that lowers the price substantially for me. My dealer said the rebate does not affect his profit and he would be willing to deal with me in addition to the rebate. I guess the main thrust of my question is which bike will satisfy me for the long haul, as I don't expect to ever sell it. I really like the sport ride aspect of the RS and the classic good looks of the TBS. This looks like the last year for both bikes, so if I want a new one, I have to act now. I am 6'2" 230 lbs - - 51 years old and have not ridden for 30 years. I have already taken the MSF course, have my license and full leathers, so I am ready to start riding. My wife will probably ride with me about 10% of the time. Eventually, I will probably save up again and buy a pre-owned (RS or TBS) for a stable meate, but I want to own a brand new bike at first.
Throw some opinions and thoughts out there for me. Thanks.
(I am posting this same question on the TBS board).
