I was planning on buying an RT next year or two but will keep my RS. May test ride an ST and go that route rather than RT. either way plan on keeping my RS. Love my bike.

I would have still chosen the (SM5) GS/RS. Not that I can find anything wrong with the ST; but, I don't feel it's worth the extra $$$ to me. Just like I wouldn't purchase an SE5 GS/RS b/c once again, to me, it's not worth the extra $$$.
Bob D.,
Since you brought it up, to me the order of appearance (from top to bottom) is: RS-S, RS, ST................................................ ..........................RT.
Kratos,
I was just trying to hit 3,000.
Bob,
Sorry, I made a mistake. At the very top of the list should be a 2008 PE, yellow, GS, SM5.

I prefer it to the RS styling; but I still prefer the RT's styling and creature comforts overall! (JMHO)
Also in the RT!

Looks nice, I know you didn't ride it but did it feel stiffer/different just sitting on it than your Elkas?

I was on a tour of a helicopter plant with other spyder riders including one from a dealer and he said he would have some available for a test ride in a week or so. (hopefully before the snow!) it felt really good and with the fox shocks and other changes to the suspension, as Lanmont says, it is a sweet ride! (not from experience, but from Lamont's review)

At first, I was really excited about the new ST. But, I have cooled off a bit, now. J
The ST-S is the one that has my attention. I’m not interested in having a radio. And, I already have a Zumo 550 GPS, and the Givi Cases. Heated grips would be nice. But, I have gotten along this long without them. I like the passenger floor boards. That’s something my Wife would appreciate too, I think.
The revised suspension, and Brembo brakes have my attention, as well. And, until I ride one, I won’t know how I feel about the bigger, adjustable windshield, and new bar position. We have been on trips equaling 1,800 + miles in 8 days. My RS-S works for me. And, I’m not even using the 1” riser block on this one. My ’08 GS had that. But, I guess I don’t really miss it. I’ve logged over 55,000 total miles in just under 49 months.
After having sat on a few RT’s, I know, I’m not ready for that riding position. If the ST is really close to that upright position, I doubt I’ll like it. I’ll just have to wait until my dealer gets them to know.
My dealer doesn’t think they will be arriving until December or January.

ST-S
ST-S has style and class but it's hard to beat the RT for that "come on, let's ride" look....smoky2012-05-29 17.05.07 (1024x768).jpg
