I am looking for a dark horse Springfield if they come out with one.

I think the new ones have self cancelling turn signals.

I actually did a couple of demo rides yesterday. One on the RM and one on the Springfield.

We were told the turn signals were self-cancelling but I did not actually use that feature so I'm not 100% sure.

THE PROS: The RM had some good features like key fob, remote locking storage, CC, ABS, brakes seemed good, floorboards were big & roomy. Fit and finish seemed good. Liked the RM power windshield. No buffeting on the RM. Slow speed handling was not bad.
I preferred the Springfield, probably because it was lighter.

THE CONS: The important stuff did not check my boxes.
Both had noticeable vibration, both lacked great passing & merging power, RM had hot engine in only 65 degree weather, RM felt bulky and a little cramped (knees higher than preferred). Both stock seats would need to be replaced. Buffeting on Springfield. Throttle response was a bit disconnected on both.

The factory demo days are fun events. I try to do as many as I can.
