    Y-Me, I have the 2013 RT and never rode the RS, but I'm thinking about getting one for the fun of it. Several freinds have them and love them for the quick trip around town and the fun of the ride. Love my RT. Tell me how they compare in ride.

    I was contemplating on going in the opposite direction....... RT for an RS(S). Luv the ride of the RT, but riding solo exclusively, makes sense to go for the RS. Haven't had a chance for the RS trial ride, and may be a bit difficult, since local dealer has gone out of business. Maybe one day...........

    Actually, it is better to have one each. I am now looking for a RS-S to add to our stable.

    I noticed in the picture of your 2013 RT that the front fender looks like the earlier RT fenders. Does the 2013 have different fenders, depending on model? If so which model is that. The 2013 LTD I was looking at had the new style fenders....Least I thought it did.
