Hey Dan....I ride an 03 Roadstar, and am considering going to the RSTD as well, so I am curious as to what your thoughts and impressions of the bike will be. Not sure if you have it yet, but do write more or send me an email. I see you posted km´s, are you in Canada also? (MB myself) My Roadstar has V&H pipes, jetted, air filter, and ignition chip changed...it has nice low end power, but I don´t enjoy going faster than 125, seems to be working pretty hard then. So the V4 on the Royal has me interested, so do tell about your new ride! Carl
