I talked to seymours the other day and she was going to get the ufit demo set up again soon, they sold last years, it makes it pretty easy to see what fits

Definitely go for the test rides. As far as storage, to me it's like a garage, closets or cellar. Never enough !

Newbert, :welcome:, plenty of great advice has all ready been given. Get your permit/license and then go for a test ride(s) to find out which one you like best. Good luck, let us know what you decided. Dale

Well, I went back to my local dealer to take another look and ask a few questions about road testing etc. While there, I sat on a few Spyders that they had in the show room. One was a 2016 ST-S (asking $21,299) and the other was a 2016 RTS (asking $26,749). (I think that they each come with a rebate of about $3500 - these prices were pre-rebate, but I'd have to dbl-check that.)

First off, both models had floorboards (as opposed to pegs), which I found to be a real help in getting on and off. The ST-S seemed to have just a tad narrower seating position than the RTS, or maybe it was just my imagination? At any rate, I found the ST-S to be more comfortable. (I thought that RT's generally are supposed to be more comfortable, so I'm a little confused about that.)

All the literature I have (for 2017's) just talks about the F3's and RT's - nothing about an "ST". So can anyone provide me any information (good or bad) about the ST-S? And is that price of $21,299 (pre-rebate) reasonable? (No, I'm not ready to buy -- I'm just gathering info at this point.)


Lots to consider.....

Thanks.

:welcome:As mentioned above, test drive the ones you are interested and then maybe even rent the one you feel best suits you! After a day of riding it you will be more sure on your decision. A lot of dealers will or should pay the rental fee if you end up purchasing from them. Good luck and enjoy!
