    Default New RTs SE5

    Traded my Red 2009 Rs Se5 for a Red 2012 RTS Se5 Saturday. Sure hope I enjoy the RT as much as I did the Rs. Will pick it up next weekend. Too bad we are going to have bitter cold weather and snow. Maybe will be able to take some trips next Spring and Summer.

    I think you just signed yourself up for a totally different experience, a more relaxed riding stance, but you can still put the spurs to it when you want.

    on the new ryde. It will be a different ryding experience from the RS. I prefer the RT--but that is just me.

    and . I did the same thing around this time last year. I traded my 08 GS SM5 for a 2010 RT AC SM5 and love it, plus my wife is more compfy as a passenger on the RT.

    on the new ryde..............we did the same thing in August, traded a 2009 Red RS SE5 and a 2011 RT Ltd. You're going to love it. If you are looking at trips in the spring, make plans for comming to Spyderfest 2012 in Cuba Missouri. Dates are April 25th to April 29th. It's a great time to meet and greet hundreds of other Spyderlovers.

    Thumbs up

    Congrats on the decision to move up. The ryde between the two Spyders is VERY different, but as long as you like more comfort & options, you're really gonna enjoy the RT

    Thanks Evryone. I am hoping comfort of the RT will allow for longer trips. Been getting a few visits from old Arthur Itis in the left knee. Couldnt stay on the RS more than 60 miles and had to get off and stretch. Im sure the Rt will give the little Wife a whole bunch more comfort!!

    I traded my 09 RS at SpyderFest for a 2011 RT. Never looked back, it's exactly what I was looking for. Atted mu Seal FloorBoards and a Utopia backrest and I'm truly able to...........

    Ride in comfort,

    Way cool. Love that color. Maybe, someday, the Spyder Fairy will come flying by my place.
