There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

You really have to test ride them both. I have an 09 RS and love it a bunch. I decided that maybe I needed an RT even though I ride solo. So I went to the dealer and test drove an RT-S. Well after the test ride I felt that while the RT was more cushy and had a lot of extras that I would have liked the RS that I had was for me more fun to ride even if less comfortable. It had more of a basic motorcycle feel than the RT which is more like a gold wing type of ride. Both are great it's just what you want. I have also noticed that generally folks who never rode a motorcycle before prefere the RT overwhelmingly while past motorcyclists generally prefere the RS unless they are riding two up. Other considerations are initial cost, mpg and complexity of the machine (RT has more electrical stuff on it). As for pulling a trailer with an RS it can be done safely with one of the light weight trailers out on the market. Mine weights only 135 pounds and I don't even feel it behind the bike. The BRP trailer I feel should be too heavy for an RS. Keep in mind also that the RS weights about 150 pounds less than the RT, has more horsepower and torque and offers less wind resistance.

welcome SPYDER-RYDER, 08-GS-SM5, all you need to know is if ya like it get it. ( yellow of course ) . Love mine.:yes:
test ride
As mentioned above , depends on how you're planning on riding along with age . Me ...I love my 2011Rt but then I do a lot of long rides and ride two up plus we pull a trailer . I'm also of the older age group and the comfort is what I like .
If they won't let you take it on the road for a test , then find a dealer that will. Even after a test ride there are changes that can be made to the bike that changes the ride ( shock adjustment ) dramatically. If the salesman tells you you're going to get high gas mileage ....he's fibbing . All around it's a very good machine but don't expect to jump on and expect to ride it like a pro. There's a def learning curve of several hundred miles to feel the bike out and be comfortable on it.
