Well I started with a used 2008 GS two years ago, put 7000+ miles on it and got the itch for something newer/more comfort. Went to local dealer and decided to shop with my eyes closed, just sit on the various models to find the "Feel" . Found myself on a Metallic Black 2015 ST, went for a test ride. What!!! No squealing rear brake:yes::yes::yes:. Better fit to my 6'3" frame and upright seating for my back. Better lighting, very visible Front Turn signals, getting better all the time. Traded the 2008 in and transformed to the 2015.
Dealer set the windshield at the top most position, terrible buffeting on the way home in a 25mph headwind, stopped and lowered the windshield to the lowest setting, no more buffeting! Dealer warned me that it might stall stopped and at idle while it was breaking in, at MP 1.5 it did, restarted immediately and has not done it since.
Did a 300 mile ride this past Saturday, mostly very twisty one land logging road over the coast mountains, SPYDER made happy purring noises all the way. :yes::yes: Me too!!!!
