    Default Is it an RT or RTS ?????????

    Good afternoon All,

    A silly question.

    Last year I purchased a 2013 RT or RTS I am not sure.

    According to the S/N and BRP its an RT, yet, on the side hard case the reflector shows RTS, I know these could be replaced easily.

    Then the headlights are of the RT Limited version.

    So, what is it, sounds like a Heinz 57.

    Thanks

    Dom

    I had an issue with my insurance company a few years back when I had my RS as the serial number showed it was a manual when it was actually a SE5. This created quite an issue.

    For starters. The RTS has more plastic/chrome pieces on it. The saddlebags usually have an insignia that says RTS. RTS has analog gas/temp gauges, driving lights, and small LED lights in the headlight housing.

    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)

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Since I took a 2010 RT A&C, and turned it into an RT-S+; I feel somewhat qualified to discuss this matter.
    If it's an RT-S
    There should be satin chrome (NOT shiny!) trimwork on the top trunk, and the side storage compartments, and windshield trim
    There should also be foglights on it
    The wheels will be black; not metallic silver
    You will have an automatic ride control system (ACS) that automatically pumps up the rear shock
    You'll have black handlebars, footrests (Floorboards if it's an SE-5), and side metalwork that holds these rests
    You'll have analog fuel and temperature gauges in pods to the side of the display screen.
    Here's where I started...



    Here's where I ended up...



    With the proper amount of time and cash: anything is possible!

    A 2013 RT will have foot pegs. An RTS and RTL will have floorboards. The RTL will have lots of chrome and the RTS won't. Those are the easiest ways to tell the difference.

    Run the VIN number or look at the title.

    After all of the above, if you still don't know, here's another way to look it up... Go to this web page, enter your VIN, and BRP will tell you which model it is.
