    Default Revamp the bodywork of the ST

    Revamp the bodywork. Open the side panels ala the F3. Incorporate the U-Fit system, but keep the sport touring style. I think it would be a hit. Maybe someone can Photoshop a concept drawing (with all the disclaimers.) Maybe that's already in the works.

    May be this will be the new rear end of the 2016 RT. It's the rear end of the 2015 Freedom Trailer.

    We had to wait until the end of september.

    I love my 2014 RT-S. I don't see a reason to change things. If it isn't broke then don't fix it. I do wish they'd bring the 622 trailer back. I want all that storage space.

    There must be a bunch of folks with older bikes that run and drive MUCH worse than our 2013s. I demo'd a 14 at the owners event. It was nice to a point but mostly it was just different. And certainly not $10k a copy worth of difference. its mostly the same bike and with the suspension and cooling upgrades we have, our 13s actually drove BETTER. The off the line torque is nice but the top end drops off a lot as if the 1330 cant breath where the 998 just keeps pulling all the way to red line....at least ours do.

    Eh. If I was looking for a new bike now, yeah I'd prefer the 14 sure. But there was no were near enough to persuade me to trade in a 1 year old bike and take that kind of loss.

    The area I'd like to see changed is the trunk and side cases, 2 to 3 inches deeper for the side cases, and a trunk that approaches the size of a Harley Tour Pack.

    Lamont, I was told by the guy that posted that concept picture on Facebook that the picture was posted by BRP and was on the BRP website somewhere. So the picture is actually from BRP?

    If they drew it, I guess it was just an idea and they gave up on it?
