I test drove this machine on Friday.
I must say I was really impressd with it. It's a comfortable ride, although I wish it came with power steering as I was testing the hauling capability with a snowmobile trailer and yes it got a little tough backing up or turing at low speeds - power steering I'm sure is being considered. Really like the sport seats and dashboard, I think they did a great job as a company trying to get into this market that's dominated by Polaris, AC etc.
For some reason I'm still not sold on the Piaggio engine only because I'm not familiar with them. Yes they're a reputable engine manufacturer in Europe, this RSX850i sounds like a monster, albeit, it's a loud ride but I need to do more research on the Piaggio/ Deere relationship.
What are your thoughts with regards to this Piaggio engine? I get the frame, suspension, and general ergonomics of this machine so I'd like to focus this thread on the Piaggio engine.
