:agree: coming from a wing and concours your going to find the RT more to your liking. The ST is something in between a sporty RS/RSS and the RT. You can get custom seats but they don't come cheap. You could go for the RT base model with the triple similar to your previous rides but the ST still has the high rpm v-twin...choices choices...:banghead:
Actually, I think the C10 equates with the ST and the RT is more like the Wing. The C10 Concours is a 996CC inline 4 that does not really produce power under 5,000 and redlines at 10,000 Definite sportbike heritage small flat seat, tight for 2 large people, buzzy, but probably the best bang for the buck out there for 2 up touring. The Wing on the other hand is like a barcolounger on wheels, Great seats, silky smooth 1832CC flat 6 that produces torque from idle up to its 6,300 redline where it promptly falls on its face because of the rev limiter. It is still a hoot to push through the twisties though.
The reason for the question is that I do not know yet if I will like 3 wheels, and only want to spend the minimum possible to find out. Even renting one for a weekend would not be long enough, and considering that would cost me around a grand, that is out of the question.
If I go to 3 wheels I would like to get in as cheap as possible, so in any case what I buy i would only keep one year. If I like it, I would bump up to an RT, If not I would sell it. Hopefully for not much less than I paid for it.
Looking at various postings, it appears that most Spyders are on the same frame with some variations. Given that I want to spend as little as possible, should I also look at an older RS? What in performance or seating would I be giving up over the ST? I realize that the RT is in a different league, but I do not want to drop that much $$$$ until I know I like 3 wheels.
Thanks for all the responses so far,
