So it's decided, that since Nate can't transport the baby in the tank
bag, he should sell it (the bag, not the baby) to Steve, but keep the
bike and not feel guilty for only riding it a few thousand miles
every year.

Nate,
I have a bike very much like yours (except for the tank bag, which
I wish I had). Same year, color, and almost same miles. Looking at
ads for the RS in Seattle occasionally is depressing. Somewhere in
the $3000+ range is about all they can command, especially in this
economy. Unfortunately, they are not old enough to become a cult
bike, yet. For that mattter, they will probably not become a cult
bike in the future either. There are not enough of us enlighten
souls to support such a market.
I feel that I have to keep the bike. It does everything I ask and
then some. I cannot imagine another bike that will give me the Bang
for the?Buck that I get from my RS. I do not have the time or
resources to tour extensively, so hard bags and creature comforts
are not essential to me. Your needs may vary. However, I am always
happy to ride my bike whenever I can. It is the best bike I have
ever owned, and may very well hold that position for a long time.
I wish you the best in whatever you decide to do. (I only lust
after your tank bag a little bit.)
