Owners Poll: RT or RS?

[ThreeWheels]

We're on our 2nd RT now

Oh, and what is this that I found

That's a nice option. Very nice indeed !
Best of luck with that.

That option was heavily modified for a single use on the RT !!! It was quickly converted back the the RS and damage control was performed to make sure no long term effects were possible.

Wait until Holly finds out she is an aftermarket option.

I don't think that she'll be amused...

2010 RT-S with RT622, lots of mods. We love it. Have had headaches. But I also buy Euro cars

[randian]

The Rotax 990 however appears to be the biggest engine Rotax makes.

They probably still have the plans and tooling for the Buell 1150R motor. Just convince Harley that a few bucks in royalties from Spyder production is better than the nothing out of Buell they're getting now. A rational Harley would say yes.

can't remember the thread but there is one where peeps are discussing sales (and that BRP won't release figures) but i asked my dealer and he said he sold about 2 RTs for every 1 RS last year.
and they ordered according to those figures but this year he says RS is outselling the RT.
i figure this is due to pricepoint and more visibility (let's be honest the more people that ryde the more of the cheaper ones are gonna sell).

i mean no disrespect here, i own and love my RR-S, but one day hope to own an RT-S too. no trade ins i plan to own my RS for life (unless i trade her in for a new RS in a few years....).

2 rs's here both together for the price of an RT i don't care to have my cell phone or music ringing in my ear as I ride, I ride to get away from all that you need every bit of attention you can muster to stay alive when you ride and I don't feel a locked throttle or trailer is safe either if you need to carry that much stuff get a convertible. I want the lighter feel and performance of the rs after being on 2 wheels all my life 200 more lbs and way more to go wrong no thanks not trying to start any war's im glad the RT came out as it sells well to the gold wing crowd and increases the chance the spyder breed survies just my feelings

[spyderrock]

there are 2 kinds of people in this world....those who ride rt's and the rest of you just kidding I have an rt limited but I really wanted the rss but with 5 back operations the rt was more logical....oh and im 45 maybe one of if not the youngest rt owner in Edmonton Alberta. And if your rs is yellow you must have been following the line painting truck to close dont worry it will wash off

Bump.......... to make sure we get everybody.

Looking doubtful that we will get a good sampling. Oh well.

So far I have had 2 RTs's SEe5's A 2011 and a 2012 the 11 was lost due to a hit in an intersection by a red light runner Oh well I have loved both but I do think I like the 12 just a little bit better!

[jlb]

Love my GS. Tried sitting on RT couple of times & just kept wondering who needs to carry that much stuff with them? Although to be fair, my 70+ year old Mother thinks the RTs are cool

[CyncySpyder]

[Dizneyman]

2011 - RT-S...one minor issue early on with air bag, since then 8k miles no issues, no limps, no mods.... Much less issues than my boats and motorhomes have had for sure.

Just my opinion, " RT Limited here!

Those who ride the RT's look for Comfort, Style, and Performance, and are willing to pay the PRICE!

The others............................................ .................................................. ................................

Comfort- yes.

Style- highly debatable and depends on what style you like.

Performance- Your incorrect if you think the RT out performs the RS.

[Bob Denman]

Ooohh... What a SNAP! that was...

[chris56]

I would prefer a mixture between RS/RT - the engine and the front of the RT (maybe a little "smaller") .. the back odf the RS (don`t neeed the luggage if I ryde alone..) .. and a 2-colour painting ..

Looking doubtful that we will get a good sampling. Oh well.

I voted a while ago. There's something for everyone is this big ol' world. It's all good...
