990 Miles covered

[Buckeye Bleau]

There have been several posts as of late talking about how many miles people are putting on the Spyder. Most of the higher mile numbers seem to come from 1330 owners.

I want to hear how many miles you have put on a single Spyder either your current model or a past model. I know many say that they have had three Spyders and a total of 110k, ok, that is not what I am looking for.

If you have or had a 990 series Byke how many miles did it have on it, or does it have on it.

11 RT SM5 998 twin- 76,000 traded in Nov 15 for 15 RT SE6. Rest were 1330 models. Sorry, I wondered why you had only 990 miles covered??

[Navydad]

bought new in January of 2017. 7153 miles on it.

I thought this was for the two cylinder 990 engined bikes? Wouldn't that be 2008 - 2013's?

As I stated previously, I am looking to see if people took the 990's to high mileage like some do the 1330. I know Ann and at least one other got over 100k on theirs but those were 1330 models.

The 990 has been around a long time, has nobody logged 100k with it? Will the 990 not stand the test of high mileage?

I ryde a lot, always have. I've ridden over a million miles in 51 years, on 26 different motorcycles. My health forced me to try 3 wheels in 2010. I tried the Spyder RT but didn't like it, at all. I couldn't see why anybody would want one. A 3 wheeled cycle with a 105 HP engine screaming down the road, 4500 rpms at 55? I got lucky and found a 2007 BMW K1200LT. I thought I found my last cycle. 84,000 miles in 3.5 years. In March 2014 in my mail I get a flyer from BRP, they have a new RT, this one with a 1330 cc engine and 6 speeds! I had to try one. One ride is all it took. BMW gone.
It took until June 2014 before I could swing a deal. I rode out of the parking lot at Can Am of Jackson Ohio, 1 mile on the odometer. I didn't know if I'd like it, it was a huge gamble. In October '14 I hit a deer, I was able to ride home even with the right front wheel 6 inches behind the left one. Bent frame, over $14,000 damage. State Farm covered it. The dealer had it 3 months.
Long story short..
After many farkles I ryde about 2000 miles a week. My pristine RT-S "Pearl" as in white, today June 27th has 123,877 miles.
I had in the shop 2 weeks ago for a warranty rear shock air bag. (I bought 2 more years extended warranty June 8th.) The salesperson asked when I was going to buy a new one. I said why would I buy a new one when the one I ryde now is better than a new one?
There's a story about me in the October 2014 issue of Rider magazine. "Chuck's Race." That's me sitting on Pearl.
I don't know if anybody has more miles on a 2014 RT-S. SpyderAnn is close. We should compare notes some time.
Bleau, I'm right down the road in Zanesville. I'm a big guy who wears red, sometimes green suspenders and a silver helmet. I ryde state route 62 between Millersburg and Danville every day, one of my favorite rydes.
Give a PM, we can meet.

My wife and I have a 2013 RT-S and we have averaged a little over 2000 miles a month when we ride. Due to my job we have a shorter riding season than most here. IF we're lucky, we'll get to ride about four months a year. Might get to squeeze in a couple of days extra in the spring and then again in the fall. Had ours a little less than a year and we've put just over 8500 miles on it.

2012 RTL 998 bought in June 2015 with 8500 mi. Now has 29056 miles and will be putting another 2000 miles on it this weekend (7/1-7/5). I came from 4 years on a Goldwing Trike and 50 years on 2 wheels before that.
