I have things on it that I forgot I had. It runs great and I'm going through everything front to back now. I'll do a video of what the buyer will be getting when I'm done. Like I said I would jump on it today a head cross country with it without batting an eye, it's been a great bike. :doorag:

You might ask her what she really likes to do . . . not everyone is a motorhead . . . My brother bought this big touring machine 'because his wife said she would ride with him' . . . . I think that he was the one that wanted it, but sort of blamed her because she didn't want to ride as much as he did, and he 'really' wanted a Concours . . . . I say, buy what you like to ride, and let everyone else decide what they want to do. . . . my late wife of almost 37 years would ride with me very seldom . . . (motorcycles) . . . the planets and stars would have to be alighned, the temperature just right, and no bugs. Cat on the other hand (Spyder Cat) and the other part of VaughnCat found new joy in riding a Spyder after almost 30 years after riding her last dirt/steet bike . . . . Ya just never know what another person would enjoy. . . . I tell some people that our Spyders are like the go-cart we didn't have as a kid.

She was fine for years on the back of my Goldwing, but decided to be like my two brother's wives and get her own license & bike. She wanted to get a new Honda Silverwing with ABS because she didn't want to mess with shifting. After one year & 262 miles (many of which I put on it) she told me she wasn't confident enough on two wheels & wanted a trike instead. That was in June of 2009 & also when we first learned about the Spyder from an article by Fred Rau in MSN. We looked at them & she decided what she wanted. This year has been a tough one for her, work wise, with 11 hour days and weekends. Easily the busiest year she's had in the almost 30 years with the company. She has an excuse for not riding much, but I also think she just doesn't have the passion most of us share.

But with all that said, she's a keeper in every way!

Curious why they are not offering the limited with SM tranny.

I wondered that too. My preference would be the black currant sts limited with the sm trans.
Maybe it has something to do with electronic cruise control. When I am on the BRP site, to build and price, the STS window hangs up when the select transmission is selected. So, I actually wonder if the electronic cruise is actually available on the STS with the manual trans.
:dontknow:

Had the same issues when i tried pick the transmission on the st limited. I prefer the manual transmission.

I'm getting my RS in top shape now, will be up for sale this week for 10K. I figure I have 30K plus into it.

The RT was a loaner anyway as part of the Spyder 5 thing and my future plans are to own a new 201? RT and a ST seeing my wife says she want's to ride too. I'll most likely restore my 109 and give it a fresh paint job as I'll be out of money after I buy the ST.

Is it a SE ??

I would buy today if it is auto ??

I've got my eye on the Black Currant ST Limited. It's -exactly- what I wanted in the first place but no such beast existed in 2011 so I went with the RS-S. I'd also want the Akrapovic Sport Silencer. Can't wait to hear what that beauty sounds like. I also need the trailer hitch package as I plan to do some serious cruising and a trailer will be necessary.

I haven't been this excited since I was out looking for my first Spyder. My dealer says he should have them in within a few months. The waiting is the toughest part. At least I have time to plan out the graphics.

Lamont,

Any guess whether a current Ultimate seat for a GS/RS would fit the ST? It looks like the same upper chassis so my immediate guess is it would.

 

[spyderrock]

Hey Lamont just got back from the dealer here today, brought the 2011 rt ltd in for service before it gets parked for our long winter here. Had a long talk about which ST I am going to get. I love the ST ltd everything about it, I think its going to be a great seller for BRP. I also like the ST-S but what im wondering is if a company like Corbin is going to make an upper trunk and side bags for it. To me that is the deciding factor and im sure they have a design in the works. I will also be adding the trailer hitch heated grips gps fog lights and the new muffler system. If I decide to go the ST ltd route I have a paint scheme already planed for the Blackcurrant color it involves silver and a shade of orange. If I go the ST-S route I would get the yellow because I like the shade of it but as far as graphics we still need to work that out. Either way it will be a great bike, cant wait for the bike show here in January that will be the first time I get to see one.

I've been to my dealer and looking to get an ST-S or the ST-LTD. I would like to keep my RS for my 17 year old son to ride. At this time though, I don't know if I can afford to do that. I will know more by March or April next spring. The ST is what I really was looking for in a Spyder. I can't wait to take one on a test ride!

:2excited:

 

[Spydr in KS]

I think the ST-S is a winner! But I don't really get the ST Limited. What do you guys see in it over, for the price, just go for an RT?

 

[EnjoyingTheRyde]

Hmmm

I've been seriously thinking about trading my 2 wheels in for 3 but I'm torn in the transmission department. I've ridden my wifes RT-S with the SE but I think I'd like to have an SM. At the same time I like the idea of floor boards but as you know, no boards on the SM. Maybe I'll keep my bike another year and spend some time trying out ALL of them next summer... :gaah:

[Questions]

New St ?

Currently I am a Goldwing rider, but after riding my wifes RT I would really consider downgrading...lol

Thanks

 

[Osros]

Voted ST-S with SE, Mag. It will be my first Spyder I just know I want the ST I demo the RS and RT and loved them both I'm wanting the seating and posture of the ST and not wanting all the other stuff the RT Has to offer I will be a solo rider most of the time. I'm not too crazy about the color choices but can live with it. The ST Limited I like but just too much for my budget unless the dealer give me a good deal the extra $4000+ just takes it over the top for me.
