New to spyders, which one to purchase?

[Raknid]

Very similar situation to my wife and me. She wanted to do her own riding versus riding on back. Issue that she is very petite and very limited on bikes she could get her feet down on. Also, the weight of most two-wheelers made her uneasy. The ST was just announced when she was in the buying process. Regardless, she liked the luggage, amenities and wind protection of the RT. She does not find it too big for her. For you and based on your note, I think the ST or RT would be the choices. Only way to know is to test ride each. See what you like and what fits the budget. Good luck....BTW, my wife is like a kid when she gets out on her Spyder. Brings a smile to her face that she has her own wheels.

I am a Female and I just purchased the RT Limited this past weekend. I have been test riding for over a year now and find that for my size, the ST's had me leaning forward just a little, but it was enough to bother my lower back. On the RT, I am in a comfortable full upright position and makes riding very comfortable and easy. Also, if you're like me and you have everything including the kitchen sink in your purse, you'll find the storage on the RT models a wonderful bonus.

Thanks

My husband owns a Harley Ultra Glide and I have been riding as a passenger for the last three years and as he put it wants me to get off his back. I started taking lessons but half way through hurt my knee, which has finally healed. We have been looking at the Spyder because of the stability but I am not sure which one I should get. I would use it for traveling to work and also for touring with him approximately 500 km one way.
Is there any ladies out there that could give me their onion on whether to get the RS or RT.

Thanks

Thanks everyone for the information, I was leaning towards the RT, now waiting for the dealership to set up their test rides.

This is a totally personal choice. I chose my RS-S over the RT and ST due to the fact I wasn't very interested in touring the country, and liked the sporty feeling (and the price nojoke).

I am a lady

I bought a 2012 RT- SE last year it is very comfortable on long trips, and has plenty of storage. I would find a trusty worthy dealer, and rent a :spyder2: first before you buy. Good luck
