My neighbor who I ride with quite a bit has BMW K1600 GT. It has a 6 cyclinder 145hp engine that has some serious pull and he gets about 40-45mpg The weight of his bike is about the same as my RS He has GPS, heated grips, ABS, traction control with settings for different weather (and the ability to turn it off) power adjustable windshield, power adjustable seat, touring bags standard, radio, power port and usb plug-ins, shaft drive, 6 speed...I mean the thing is great. How is the Spyder any more complex than his bike?
