Too quiet on the RS & ST forum

[asp125]

Is it because of

a. Older, less popular model?
b. everyone has switched to the RT/F3?
c. RS's are more reliable, less prone to gremlins and problems?
d. less to farkle?

or e. all of the above.

*sound of crickets*

 

[Chupaca]

Gotta say...

"C"for the most part we have been abandonded by BRP, dealers and even some here, but the loyal ones are out there having the most carefree fun of them all. Farkels are there if you look and still some tech's that will work on our GS/RS/ST's even though they are not the money makers. The sad part is that there is no longer a sport model even as much as they say you can bend, twist, extend or shorten an F3 you can not make it a sport ryde...:banghead: If you got one hang on to it and ryde it to the end of the road...hyea:

I would say "E" all of the above. I like my F3T, and intend on keeping it for a long time. But between the RT and RSS that I owned, I miss the RSS more. It was just really handy for running errands. I also liked the extra grunt that it had and the nice little burnouts that I would do. Don't get me wrong, the F3T has plenty of power, but I think in a straight run, my 2012 RSS would take it.
Now, that last line has given the F3 people something to argue about:roflblack:.

I just go to the "what's new" section each time I visit. That way, I do not miss anything. :yes:

Loving my ST Limited

I love my 2014 ST Limited. Just turned over 34,000 kms (21,000 miles) yesterday. Any issues were rectified by the dealer under the warranty. Purchased the BEST Extended Warranty because I hope to be able to continue riding for another 3 years. I have been perturbed by the lack of add-on items for the ST models, but have managed to still make the bike "mine". Abandoned by BRP? No. I have asked questions of BRP Customer Service a couple of times and they have responded quickly. I just believe that the ST models have been around for so long (relatively speaking) that any major significant bugs have been worked out.

[Warlock]

Have to agree c. In the process of building new exhaust for mine. Will post more when I'm done with it and tested. Hoping once built it is made out of titanium. Will take pictures as I get it ready.

[bmccaffrey]

(c) for sure

 

[dpetrick]

RS

I ride my 2009 RS SE5 a lot. I also have a Kawasaki Nomad 1600, I try to split ride time between the two bikes.

 

[asp125]

I posted with expectations that E was the most popular answer, but surprised (or maybe not) how many chose C.

Indeed, other than maintenance related items - rock through a belt, Y gasket, tires etc. our GS has been rock solid. No codes, no alignment issues. We just get on and ride.

 

[PistonBlown]

Add another C

We all know they are the best Spyder models out there - that's why BRP have dropped them for slower, less reliable, more expensive ones

Would have posted here sooner

I was too busy out riding today.

I'm out riding my 2015 ST L lots too!
No questions or problems to report.
Enjoying the wind and solitude I am.

[drhunt204]

I have a 2009 RS that I bought used and I have had no problems with it (knock on wood)!

 

[cmbspyderrss]

I just picked up my first new to me 14' Spyder on Monday so I cannot reply with any legitimate answer but will be making some noise, researching and asking lots of questions.

see if this vid posts
