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.
Saw a new ST!

Didn't say anyone would switch, just saying some probably wonder what they would have done had it been offered a while back....

"Fugly" is in the eye of the beholder... :shocked:
I prefer it to the RS styling; but I still prefer the RT's styling and creature comforts overall! :2thumbs: (JMHO)

I would have still chosen the (SM5) GS/RS. Not that I can find anything wrong with the ST; but, I don't feel it's worth the extra $$$ to me. Just like I wouldn't purchase an SE5 GS/RS b/c once again, to me, it's not worth the extra $$$.
Bob D.,
Since you brought it up, to me the order of appearance (from top to bottom) is: RS-S, RS, ST..........................................................................RT.
Kratos,
I was just trying to hit 3,000.
Bob,
Sorry, I made a mistake. At the very top of the list should be a 2008 PE, yellow, GS, SM5.

It is comfy, really nice riding position! I don't think as comfy as my RT, but bet it is a lot more fun to ride! Took my course on a RS and that was a lot of fun! So I can just imagine.:yes::yes:

Thanks Faran, I think so too! If I could afford it I would Defenitely add it to the stable! But have to pay the RT (which I love to ride!) first.:banghead:It looks good on you!

I was on a tour of a helicopter plant with other spyder riders including one from a dealer and he said he would have some available for a test ride in a week or so. (hopefully before the snow!) it felt really good and with the fox shocks and other changes to the suspension, as Lanmont says, it is a sweet ride! (not from experience, but from Lamont's review)Thanks for posting :thumbup:
Nice idea from a dealers point of view, spark some interest, wonder if I can persuade my local dealer to let me take one for an early ride.
Looks nice, I know you didn't ride it but did it feel stiffer/different just sitting on it than your Elkas?

At first, I was really excited about the new ST. But, I have cooled off a bit, now. J
The ST-S is the one that has my attention. I’m not interested in having a radio. And, I already have a Zumo 550 GPS, and the Givi Cases. Heated grips would be nice. But, I have gotten along this long without them. I like the passenger floor boards. That’s something my Wife would appreciate too, I think.
The revised suspension, and Brembo brakes have my attention, as well. And, until I ride one, I won’t know how I feel about the bigger, adjustable windshield, and new bar position. We have been on trips equaling 1,800 + miles in 8 days. My RS-S works for me. And, I’m not even using the 1” riser block on this one. My ’08 GS had that. But, I guess I don’t really miss it. I’ve logged over 55,000 total miles in just under 49 months.
After having sat on a few RT’s, I know, I’m not ready for that riding position. If the ST is really close to that upright position, I doubt I’ll like it. I’ll just have to wait until my dealer gets them to know.
My dealer doesn’t think they will be arriving until December or January.
