I rode for several hours just around the streets in my neighborhood. (All in 1st gear.) The thing that was hardest for me to get used to was not putting a foot down at stops. Of course, I only rode 2 wheelers for 23 years.......

1) how long did it take you to adjust if you came from a cruiser?
2) will him running the Spyder (2012 RT-S) at lower rpms like 3k damage it?
The more you ride the shorter the adjustment period...varies with the consumer...
Always keep rpm above 3,000 under load...never lug it in any gear...
Most of you guys are really nice. If my wife bought me a new bike and I was being such an ass I'm sure I would be looking for a new sleeping partner. And she would have been right !!
It's been a bit over 5k and I still am questioning my decission. My back is the reason for the change and not having to hold up the wing is a bonus but I still think the spyder handles like a pig compared to my wing with good suspension. I know I'll get flamed and yes it's been properly laser aligned and got the Bajaron sway bar. I do question if the power steering is working properly cause it takes quite a bit of effort to make it hustle through the twistys. I'm going to give it this season and then decide to keep it or not.
A Spyder in the twisties is never going to be as fun (IMO) as a two wheeler, on account it does not lean. It'll be a workout to hustle the Spyder's bulk around a corner. We think of our Spyder (and ours is the sporty one), as a cruising and touring machine, preferring our sportbikes for when the corners get tight and fast. Adjust your expectations and you'll learn to love the Spyder.
