Comparing the 19 to the 20 Freewheeler. The 20 shows the reflex defensive rider system (RDRS) and the 19 shows "Electronically linked brakes,ABS and traction control provide enhanced cornering capability" I wonder if there's any difference or did they give it a fancy new name?

I do not have clue; however, RDRS does sound like made up politically correct BS.

I'd bet it's one in the same.
 
what I understand is, when you come to a stop on an incline, it will automatically hold the brake for you. That was what one dealer told me.
 
The latest copy of Hog Magazine has a good write up on how all the new features work;)

Yep, good article but after reading it I am not sure why I need it. Technology is great but being I am pretty much old school I don't want to pay for technology I don't want or need. A lot of the technology "improvements" are distractions for the driver and are driving the costs up more and more for motorcycles, cars and trucks. One reason I ride a motorcycle is to relax and I don't want to answer the phone or use a touch screen while I am riding. Seems like all of these "improvements" are out of control. Why don't they focus on just building a good dependable machine (no oil migration issues, etc.)? Anyway, just my opinion. Rant over. ;)

I do love my GPS when I am out and about, but that's all I need. ;)
