ST questions

[Dragonrider]

I have a friend interested in a new Spyder - he want's an RT without the topcase. Since the nearest stealer is still a fair drive, I thought I'd ask this question on the forum for him.

"Is the ST an RT without the topcase, or is it more like the RS, with ergos tilted towards the younger/crotch rocket riders?"

Regardless, he'll probably stay in the shadows until the 15's, to see if the 1330 is offered....

The ST is sort of in the middle. Perhaps closer to the RT than the RS. I did not like the seating position on the RS. I did not find too much difference in the ST and the RT. The RT is a little more upright, but I do not have to lean forward to reach the bars on my ST.
Hope this helps.

I think the RT is all around fatter/wider than the ST.

Well..!!

it's that awkward middle of the road roadster. Depending on who judges it you get the more like RT or RS. In the end he will have to test them out and decide. I would not decide for him...that he should be on one I will recommend which one not so much...:thumbup:

A lot of the body panels are the same between the RS and ST. The seating position is very different. I like my ST limited

He liked my RT, with the Seal Floorboards - but hates the topcase.... Like me, he's tall, around 275#, and has iffy knees (still his tho....).

Personally, I hated the RS on longer rides, and loved the RT on the same - lean back and cruise comfortably.

Yes, he should try them all out....different strokes for differemt folks!

I was lucky enough to be able to ride a 2014 RT Ltd for 300kms (200 miles almost) And it is definitely not slow!!!! And it was a lot more agile than I expected. Didnt make me want to buy one, but was suitably impressed with it.

It was a joke, as an ST owner it's my job to harass RTs. roflmao
