Makes you want to upgrade to the ST, but will stay with the GS I have. Thanks for the link.

Wow! That's a great writeup by Fred. He definitely has the credentials to praise the new Spyders and specifically the ST's. This is very encouraging for new buyers and those that are looking to trade up. :clap: :2thumbs: I went to our local dealer ASK today. I got a 2013 catalogue and asked when the ST's would be in the showroom. The sales manager said the end of November or early December!?! (is that a little optimistic?)
It seems there is a definite trend of refinement and improvement. :thumbup:

A 2013 RT handles better than a <2012 RS??? :spyder:

I sure hope my local dealer has a "demo day" before the end of the year, I really want to compare my ride with the new ones. I admit, I'm still skeptical that it's THAT much of an improvement, but here's hoping what folks say is true. :pray:

Sorry! ;)

If it helps; My primary ryde is a 2010 RT with a set of 2011 shocks... it was a better ride in more ways than I can even begin to describe. But I ryde an RT... :opps:
