• 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.

Hello all. Haven't been on in a while. Still riding my 2011 RT-S, SM5 I purchased new back in September 2011. Only major issue was a bad VSS in 2021. Took 2
years for the part to arrive due to the Pandemic. So far so good. Looking to trade for the 2023 F3-L. Have fun riding and be safe out there. Chief

I wonder how many 'Original' riders we still have out there?

I'm still riding my original Pre-Buy, 2008 GS. Ordered in July of 2007, took delivery in January 2008. Still runs like a champ!

I am now on my 4th DPS. 1st one was dead from the factory. BRP replaced it on warranty. Killed that replacement in a few months and BRP replaced it again. I paid for the 4th one 2 years ago. Other than that. Smooth Sailing!

I bought an ol' timer's 2010 RT SE5 with only 25k miles on her at the start of May, and I intend to have her running for another 10+ years!
 
I got my 2011 RTS June of 2021 , with 13,000 miles on it at that time , I put about 3,000 miles on it before cool weather , in the spring of 2022 I did an Oil Change myself , very simple job , and in the spring of 2023 I put new tires on it , & I had a loose wire connection to the running lights ... got that fixed myself .. no other problems . next month I will have it 2 years , runs and drives and stops like new , has little over 21,000 miles on it now , at my age it has give me a few more years of riding maybe , and that is Priceless , and I love my RTS
 
Bought my 2012 RTL in 2015 from a retired military who had been diagnosed with Dementia. It had 8,500 miles on it. It now has 76,000 miles on it and I hope it will last me the rest of my riding life. It does have a recurring shifting issue that can only be resolved by replacing the shift shaft which is more than it is worth. I do know how to deal with it even on the road,so I will just keep dealing with it.
