    Default ST gets no respect

    Can someone tell me why just about all the accessories are geared for either the RT or RS? Why is that? It's like the ST doesn't even exist.

    I have the 2014 ST Limited which comes with the hard shell saddle bags but I really wish to see some more storage like tank bags or bags that could go across the back seat that's actually made for the ST.

    ST was a new model introduction for the line in 2013. Probably a wait and see how the configuration sells before going into the market with a lot of accessories.

    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.

    Default ST

    The ST is the SPORTS version of the RT. Marketed at the more youthful spyder ryder.
    More streamlined in appearance and not so fat in the rear end.

    I felt the opposite at the owners event in Durango. All the accessories displayed were for the RT and ST. They had not even unpacked the RS stuff from the truck. I had to wait 20 minutes for them to dig out a windshield from the BRP truck.

    This thread is too funny, I know what you mean about accessories, there's not a lot out there for the ST's especially in the aftermarket, I'm still hunting an exhaust and don't want the tin can style muffler, there are some nice things out there that will work on the ST but are labeled for the RS

    I look at it like this, I refer to the RS owners as kids, the ST are the middle age people that aren't ready for the full RT or Retired Touring model as I call it (Old ppl Bike)....LOL

    Not really, most that buy RT's are only adding lighting, the ones that buy the RS, RSS and ST's are the ones spending more money on accessories, just sayin...LOL

    They have to add more accessories because they didn't buy an RT, which already has all the good stuff!

    True but my ST-Limited has enough to keep me happy, I don't really need anything for it, I added an aftermarket tinted windshield and a few items from BRP when I made the purchase, don'r really need a trunk or tank bag, I do wish I had two more speakers in the back of the bike but mostly for my passenger
