    I owned a 2012 RS SM5 that I did all the "touring/handling" mods on. I was very happy with it overall....... until I bought a 2011 RT last month. I never wanted the RT because I thought it looked...

    2012 RS

  14. Spyder Rental

    Just one comment about the idea of renting one first. I think it took me about 200 miles before I felt comfortable with my RS (coming from big H-D two wheelers). The first few rides had me feeling...

    The frame does disconnect pretty easily. All that's different then (if memory serves) is a hole in each (l + r) side vent covers and the longer arm on the turn signal stalk. Turn signals look...
