    Cool My review of the SPYDER ST LIMITED

    At first glance i noticed the new front fenders with led turn signals and an orange side reflector that i'am sure that it wont take long for the out side market to make it light up! Then the windshield all thought it adjust manually its still way cool. Then i noticed the floorboards even though they are tilted forward its very deceiving because once you ride you never notice and it becomes comfortable. With all the things they took from the RT and applied it to the RS edition like cruise control gps radio and heated grips this spyder becomes awesome!!! BRP reworked the front end geometry and the only way i can explain it is that it feels like a more positive feel to the road less swaying. With the 998 engine now between your legs the throttle response is different more power and speed. They also included heat guards down by your ankles. I forgot to mention the stock seat is also comfortable. Go take a test ride for yourself. I would say this bike is perfect for the person who wants all the creature comforts of the RT and the sportiness of the RS. NICE JOB BRP.

    I would be interested in hearing more about those heat guards at the ankles.

    I rode it also; I noticed NO heat issues whatsoever, but I'm also not particularly sensitive to this issue...
