    Default Is it just me

    or has anyone else become completely distracted by the new STS.
    I can't stop looking for pictures or videos.
    I'm glad I will get a fix this weekend at the motorcycle show.

    Does anyone have any pictures they have not shared yet?

    Or just get one and park it where you can stare at it a lot!

    They are a sharp-looking bike!

    I guess I am one of the few that has not gone GAA GAA yet. I like the looks, the new color options, and the fact that it offers an option between the RS and the RT for now.

    I still want to see what actual purchasers of the ST are going to be saying once they have 5,000 to 10,000 miles on their new machines. I also want to see if people are going to consider them being worth the money they spent after some real ownership time.

    Since I just purchased a second RT new (2011)--I am not in the market for the 2013's. Which for me is kind of a bummer--because I really like that Citron yellow RT. I missed that by about six months because we needed another RT.

    Sooooooooooooooooo--I hope you will not flame me too bad for sitting back and letting others be the "test purchasers" this time around. Been there, done that and have the t-shirt to prove it. 2008--first GS year, 2009-early semi auto (SE5), and 2010 new RT premier edition #474.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Not going Gaa Gaa over the ST either at this point...I've spent a lot of money getting my 09 GS/RS to the point where I wanted it and I'm very content with that...especially considering the fact that I've never had a problem with it, it's running like a charm and has everything & more than the ST offers...I'm not saying that a ST won't be in my future....just gonna get my money's worth out of the 09....Meanwhile...I'll look forward to the performance, maintenance issues and other reviews of the ST series...I believe BRP hit a home run with this one..

    My GS with 23,000 is running great! Just changed the oil and winterized it So now I,m stuck with the RT for the rest of the winter!!
    Actually, I LOVE the RT more and more the more I ride it BUT there,s NO way I,ll give up my summer Time GS until it has 50,000 miles !!
