    Default Just got our first one in

    Just got our first ST-limited in and I'm in love it's awesome!!! Fit and finish are first class and even better than I thought they would be. I have to say been an RT guy but I think I just moved over to this! It's light fast handles great and sets perfect!!! This ones still an orphan but maybe become my new demo, we do have the spyderlovers special, no freight or set up and 500 in free mods along with pick you up at the airport and take care of your hotel...... I'm ready to go ride now!!


    I'm pumped with this it's so fun to ride it moves so much better than rt, and way nicer than rs.... I'm hooked!

    Question: When was the first motorized vehicle race?
    Answer: Right after the second one was built!

    Am I correct that you should not ride these long distance when brand new due to it needing a proper break in period?

    Really truthfully just don't set the cruise on 75 and leave it there....change the throttle up and don't run it wide open for long periods the computer takes care of a Lot of the break in..... Today's stuff has break end moods built in.... No worries..... You'll have to stop for gas about 150 miles, stop at stop signs and have some traffic.

    Really curious who will be the first ST spyderlovers spyder owner......

    Default regarding color

    It's called blackcurrant - all I see is black. After too many black cars and bikes, I wont do that again. So the currant part of the name got me interesteed. On looking at the pics though, it looks like plain old black. Where am I wrong? When does the currant show up? Only in sunlight??
    If anyone knows or has seen it, would appreciate knowing what the color name really means. Otherwise I'll go with white.
    Thanks.

    I rode a white one...
    I would guess that the color highlights show up best with the proper lighting... You'll have to see it in person to decide.

    Go figure they would come out with this one now. I loved my RS,but the RT had features I wanted/needed. I have my RT just about done with Mods ...... too bad I can't afford to trade AGAIN!!! Of course I would have to have it painted in my special purple

    When you're standing next to it (inside or outside) you can tell it's not true black. But at a glance it does still look black. You can kind of tell in this photo I took of the fender while at the Dallas IMS show. It really is a very deep, rich-looking purple. It's pretty striking.

    To me it looks more like eggplant. Not a black I'm fond of but I'm sure it will do well.

    Just had to say, "egg plant," didn't ya? Probably the only veggie I can't tolerate. Now that's printed in my brain! Glad I went with WHITE!
