    Default Still riding my 2011 RTS purchased new in September 2011!

    Hello all. Haven't been on in a while. Still riding my 2011 RT-S, SM5 I purchased new back in September 2011. Only major issue was a bad VSS in 2021. Took 2
    years for the part to arrive due to the Pandemic. So far so good. Looking to trade for the 2023 F3-L. Have fun riding and be safe out there. Chief

    I wonder how many 'Original' riders we still have out there?

    I'm still riding my original Pre-Buy, 2008 GS. Ordered in July of 2007, took delivery in January 2008. Still runs like a champ!

    I am now on my 4th DPS. 1st one was dead from the factory. BRP replaced it on warranty. Killed that replacement in a few months and BRP replaced it again. I paid for the 4th one 2 years ago. Other than that. Smooth Sailing!

    I bought an ol' timer's 2010 RT SE5 with only 25k miles on her at the start of May, and I intend to have her running for another 10+ years!

    I got my 2011 RTS June of 2021 , with 13,000 miles on it at that time , I put about 3,000 miles on it before cool weather , in the spring of 2022 I did an Oil Change myself , very simple job , and in the spring of 2023 I put new tires on it , & I had a loose wire connection to the running lights ... got that fixed myself .. no other problems . next month I will have it 2 years , runs and drives and stops like new , has little over 21,000 miles on it now , at my age it has give me a few more years of riding maybe , and that is Priceless , and I love my RTS

    Bought my 2012 RTL in 2015 from a retired military who had been diagnosed with Dementia. It had 8,500 miles on it. It now has 76,000 miles on it and I hope it will last me the rest of my riding life. It does have a recurring shifting issue that can only be resolved by replacing the shift shaft which is more than it is worth. I do know how to deal with it even on the road,so I will just keep dealing with it.

    Happy TRAils/NSD
