    Cool Picking Up My New Baby!

    I'm picking up my new ST Limited Saturday morning. I'm trading in my 2009 GS with 17,000 miles. Is there anything happening on the ST's that I should be looking for? (Not counting ball joints and/or alignment). Sunday morning I will be ryding it home, 180 miles, through the National Forest. I just want to cover all bases before I get to the dreaded NO CELL area.
    Thanks for any advice.

    Default ST LTD

    I think you will love your new ST. You will be in a more upright riding position vs the RS and the 2013's have better brakes and suspension. Plus I think the "cool factor" is priceless!!

    on the new ryde. If you are not sure of the new out of the box, put a few miles on it in somewhat close proximity of the shop before taking it into the no cell area. Any issues, should hopefully pop up sooner than later.

    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.

    I'll definitely ryde the heck out of it Saturday afternoon before I leave the area. Hopefully nothing will pop up, but I will try to make certain.
