Hi all,

its been a while, but I'm returning again !

just looking for some advise - reviews on the 2018 4RT  -  it'll be my first 4 stroke, previously had Beta's Rev's and Evo 2t's

Just don't want to make an expensive mistake !

thanks in advance

Test ride first in case you don't like them.

There are some very good deals on std 260 4rts . The bike is basically the same from 16 on. You get Honda build quality and the option to upgrade some parts later on if you feel the need - rear shock and an s3 front pipe are good additions - the pipe more than shocker for the more clubman rider .

all 4rts ride similar - the 300rr better and 301 better again but you pay for the improvement 

if you ride a more traditional style then 4rt suits - if you are a rev and dump the clutch then maybe not so.

either way the smile factor of a 4rt on a bit of a blast is unique??

If you switch to the 4rt see if mr Sumter  will give you some tips being in his neck of the woods - nobody better to learn off ??

The 2018 standard 4RT should be a great bike, nearly identical to the 2017 I had a chance to ride.  The two in our group are fantastic bikes and I wouldn't hesitate to get a 2018 260.

If you do get it I hope you like it a lot!  Good luck making your call.
