My other is a 1966 Suzuki vs1400glpt. I shan't mention the one I started on. I learned well how to make too small a bike do touring on heavy grades. It's hard on the clutch but if you've got plenty time.....

Hello and welcome..

Hello RocketJohn and welcome from Dumfries in Prince William County VA. I have tested my ABS on the 2014 R3T at 85 MPH indicated and can say they work great. I hope you never need to emergency brake at that speed, but if you do, the ABS sold me on its technology; this is my first ABS bike out of 28.
I do love your part of the state as those roads are made for bikes down there. I do not get to ride them as much as I did on my last bike but I do pass through on I-81 a couple of time a years en route to TN.

Enjoy your new ride and the cut-ups we are here on line.
