ST gets no respect

[bscrive]

Last year at Spyderquest we talked to the BRP rep for the area and he told us that RT's account for 70% of Spyder sales. With numbers like that you see why the RS-ST lines don't get much respect. St's account for probably not even half of other 30%.

The RT's always get more, there Farkle hogs

Of course they are!
Does this farkle not make my butt look so BIG!

Here are the sales numbers for 2013
RT''s 5100
ST's 3100
RS's 1500

The ST owners deserve a little bit of Farkle...LOL

Thanks for replies. I knew this topic would take a comical turn.

I should have mentioned that was really referring to the aftermarket accessories. I checked out BRP's catalog and jeez seem to me over priced but might have to suck it up eventually.

I really wanted the RT but some of us don't have deep pockets. I settled for the ST but I still love it.

Thanks Jeffsm69 for the stats. Yes ST deserve more Farkle whatever that means... guessing a profane kind of sparkle.

I have a ST...I pulled my rear rack...off my rs and it bolted onto the ST......so any rs accessory will fit the ST...as far as tank bag goes...won't fit.....the brake, fog lights, heated grips button would be covered......I believe the more youthful spyder ryders are on a ST......

I got extra storage farkle from Corbin.

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

I must not have read the notice on age! 62 and loving the rss!

60 years young, going on 49...

Enjoying the RS-S immensely.

There are a pretty nice variety for the ST's , alot are interchangeable between the ST and the RS.

No respect or accessories plenty but we get plenty HEAT from our ST'S....

[3rdwheel]

I agree on "more youthful"

OPPS, I didn't know that I was suppose to be youthful to own/ride an ST. Dose that mean that I should return the bike back to the dealer and demand my $$$$ back? just how old/youthful dose one have to be to be an ST owner?

If it's just local riding I'd say probably just get the RSS... but I promise you once get one you'll want to to go for long rides. I've never ridden anything other than an ST so don't really know what the other's are like. I believe the ST is probably around 5-10 grand more than the RSS.

Its only a 2-4k difference...

check out RKA they make very good tank bags and a full line that will work great they even will do custom color and options

What's RKA ???? I think the ST is for those of us who still think we're young. lol The young guys love my ride.
