I can say, after riding the RTP for two years now, that bike is a f'in beast. Beast, meaning the acceleration is absolutely dreamy - ABS stops it under almost any condition - and flickable. The location of all the controls makes it EASY to get to everything, including lights/siren and heated grips/seat.
I rode Victory's full line last fall and had very few nice things to say about what they had put together. They had many of the same features, but their controls were complicated and not well thought out. Add that to the lumbering difficult to maneuver heavy bikes and it was a lose/lose for me.
