    Default Kind of disappointed.

    Was debating trading up from my '10 RS but think I will wait. The F3 looks nice but I like the sport foot and arm positioning and don't see the point of riding a Spyder like a cruiser. I like the style of the ST but I can't see changing to it since it has the same small engine as my RS. And the new ST colors are just hideous. I wonder if BRP just left the small engine in the ST and made them ugly as hell so that they could try to sell more F3's instead. Lol

    It's very simple.... BRP don't have the money to do more for this year.

    This wasn't the year to play with the major components of the ST or RT...
    The "Small" motor; really...
    Do you feel underpowered, at only 100 horses?

    at only 9 horsepower more than what we already have, why would anyone with a gs or rs want a 1330? i wouldn't do it for the gas savings alone.

    Minimal horsepower gain but over 50 pounds over the RS with the tube frame


    Again no power plant change for the RS but even if they put a V4 in the RS With those color combos in the RSS I half to ride with a Ronald McDonald clown costume

    And the base RS is available in just black and look identical to last years

    Must be getting old. As a previous race car driver, speed was always my friend. However yesterday I was entering the freeway, saw an opening throttled up my 998cc and almost instantly found myself doing 85. I for one am very happy with this engine. Trading up just for more HP, not this guy.

    I have to admit, that some of the color schemes look a lot like they were designed by a Kindergarten class...
    But I DO like the RT Red, and the ST Blue!
