If it had the 2.4L in it, I'd be afraid to ride it...talk about scary fast.

Not my style, but I wouldn't mind a 6.6 gallon tank on my Nomad.

It's a sport tourer, I've been looking at the Triumph Rocket III touring model. Now that's a torque monster, if only it wasn't so ugly and I had a dealer close by.

A 2.4L motor isn't necessary to go fast or quick...

The 1600 has six cylinders and well, it's a 1600, actually 1650.

All depends on how much weight it has to carry. Give me 2 bikes, one weighing 900#, another weighing 400# with the same motor. The 400# bike will run circles around the heavier bike. Sport touring doesn't mean "lightweight". Or, a Ducati can blow a Ninja away even though both have about the same size motor (1100cc or thereabout, I think) partly because the Ducati is much lighter. And because it's Italian.

Greg already has an RT - it's just made by Can Am and has 3 wheels.
