Great bikes - I had an X for best part of 50k miles. Reliable, economical and fun to ride!
That reminds me of when my wife first rode my RT on a long journey. She was used to riding her CB500, which only had a small fly screen on it, but as we were going down to see my folks, we were 2-up on my R1100RT. We swapped over at the services and she accelerated briskly down the sliproad onto the motorway. By the time we were merged onto the motorway we were doing 70mph in 2nd gear - she had no idea how fast we were going due to the lack of wind blast!
