ST questions

The RT's looked a bit too bulky for me so I went with the ST.

You could get an ST and add a few things to get the storage like the RT's.

Cool, never seen those boxes before.

It is definitely different strokes for different folks. The only way of knowing for sure is to test drive and see how the ergos fit the driver.

I have had both the RS and the RT, but never been on a ST. The difference between RS and RT is like night and day. Have always been a fan of farkles, bags, and trunks. Like the plusher feel of the RT compared to the RS.

The ST came out to fill the place in between the two models. You get more RT with the ST than you do with the RS. Not everyone likes or uses a top trunk. I do not use it much--and it would be nice to have a quick release so that I can go from "electra glide" to "road king" when I want to.

PS: Flamewingers ST is AWESOME.

At the moment, if one wants the 1330 ACE, then the choices are limited to RT. That may change.

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

Bulky

Slow

...unless it is Viper Red...then it is the fastest, most nimble spyder out there.

I will have to say that IF....... IF I HAD to get an RT..... It would be viper red with black wheels

To be honest, I would have gone with an ST Limited if I could have gotten it with the 1330 engine and SE6 transmission.

I definitely agree that red is the fastest, my car proves that too....but yellow is a close second. Lol

Okay, good answer. You are forgiven my son, you may pass. :roflblack:



All ST owners in favor say "aye".

My second choice.

I almost bought a limited.

Didnt like the "full time" boxes on the back.

If easy on and off I would have a limited right now.

I actually had a down payment in on a 2013 ST Limited, but I let Fred Rau talk me out of it. He felt the RT would be a much better match for my touring right now with the new engine and transmission. Maybe in a few years I'll switch over. :shocked:

Saddle bag removal

I can take both saddle bags off in seconds, it's just a matter of inserting the key and pressing a button.
It takes another couple of minutes to remove the frames, just 3 quick twist bolts on both sides.

Really? :banghead:


Dealer said "it is a process"....I figured that meant time. :banghead:

My tires are black. Does that count?

Yellow just means your slowing down or just to alert people of your squid riding style. Red means your stopped completely but still want to look fast...,

Everyone knows all the fast machines are BLACK because we don't want to be seen by the police!..... we roll stealth...

Your dealer FAILED. You can push one button on each bag and it instantly pops off and then the 1/4 turn fasteners take maybe 37 seconds each side to release them from the bike. After that, it takes a trained spyder owner's eye to identify that there ever were any bags on the bike. :2thumbs:
