at 1st I looked at the grey and realized old style fenders...have not looked at the ST...only STS and Limited...learned something new today....Lamont were you at the show in Atlanta?

[daveinva]

Nice pics!BTW, noticed the Akrapovic exhaust on the one bike... anyone know what the difference is between the Sport Silencer and the Sport Touring Silencer? Just different looks, or something else?Also-- how do they sound? Just curious.

One has a little more bark than the other.

All the entry level Spyders have old style fenders.
I did not make it to the show, I got these pics from a "friend" on Facebook. I'm working real hard to try and get one of those protoype ST's here at th shop so I can do some real world testing and I'm wanting to look under that plastic real bad.

Thanks! That ST-S looks as if it's had a pass by the Farkling bus too!

That chrome piece on the yellow ST needs to be black.

Nice Pics , Lamont! I'll bet you're chompin' at the bit to get your hands on one of the ST's. You can walk the rest of us through it.

I've got to admit it; you're right! That yellow is just screaming for black accents!

[Derek Paisley]

Hi Lamont! I hope you are doing well.


Question for you

The ST looks substantially higher then the RS (2012) when looking at the Tank Cover through to the Adjustable Handle Bars.
Is there a obvious height difference?

The ST looks a few inches above the RS. If in fact there is a "lift", would you attest this to the ST being more Touring oriented?

Thx

Derek

[Bob Denman]

Taller seat height... maybe?

[Lamonster]

Taller seat height... maybe?

Seat is 29" for both the ST and RS, the RT is 30.4"

I don't know if there is a change or not. Could be the RT and the ST share the same bar height and the RS is lower but I can't say for sure till I get one in hand.

Thanks Lamont. I'm assuming that it's the sport that has more bark than the touring one...

[flamingobabe]

I heard Louis Power sport had a white limited...think we will drive up there on Friday and then back to Dallas for the IMS...having a prototype would be too cool....I would love to compare my RS to a prototype.....getting really excited to see and touch the new ST's

[Bob Denman]

We're gonna need a full report on it if you do get up there to give it some exercise...

[EnjoyingTheRyde]

Go ahead, Lamont, keep teasing me!!

No kidding! Exactly what I was thinking... I'm on the fence as it is!

Agreed! But they are some nice machines!

Would any of you trade your current spyder (RS or RT) for the basic ST? It seems that most of the upgrades people talk about are on the ST-s and up. I would think a 2012 RT or RS-s for that matter would hold it's own to the basic ST. Am I way off with my thoughts? If so, please enlighten me. :-)

I like this picture better!! ST.jpg

In a heartbeat (I have an RS-S)

Oh, you look awfully good on the yellow beast!

What would be the biggest change that you would enjoy from the base ST over the RS-s? Keep in mind I have only had my RS-s a few weeks so it is still the greatest thing since sliced bread for me.

1. Suspension
2. Suspension
3. Suspension
4. Comfortable riding position and seat

And I love my RS-S. Love the zippiness, speed, handling. But I didn't feel like I lost any of that with the ST (and may have gained some because it handled so much better)

Well, yellow IS my favorite color!! I had a hard time crawlin off that thing!! It sure is pretty up close!! Sean (Extreme Propultion) almost had me talked into sighin on the dotted line. maybe........just maybe........
