There may be questions about the ST you would like to ask and I do have some details you may or may not know so I'll post them here.
For starters the ST is the middle of the road between the RS and the RT. It has more relaxed ergonomics and better wind protection than the RS but keeps the sporty look and handling performance of the RS. It is an evolution of the two units.
The foot position is 5" forward compared to the RS. This gives the average rider a 93 degree knee bend compared to a 78 degree bend on the RS. The seating position has also been adjusted for long distance riding.
The handlebar position has also been adjusted for a more relaxed riding ergos. The Spyder ST is pulled back 4" and is higher by 3.3" compared to a 2012 RS.
The Sport Touring seat has been redesigned for both aggressive cornering and long distance travel. The saddle has different foam density in key areas to achieve this. In other words this is not the same foam density through out the seat like most seats.
As you know the new sport console is more in line with the RT than the RS yet it is small enough to maintain the sporty look while giving the rider better hand, upper body and helmet protection when compared to the RS. The console has lower wind deflectors along with a manually adjustable windshield that has 4" of travel.
