    If you don't like the parking brake warning signal, you should maybe set the brake before switching off the engine.....?

    On my new 2018 RT Limited all I have to do is push the mode button and then the start button and she starts immediately - as in no waiting...

    Somebody is mistaken here.
    My '17 RT does NOT have a mandatory delay. Hit the MODE button and go.

    My only complaint on the RT Spyders, is that there isn't any leg room. There isn't any room to move the pegs or floorboards forward any. I'm 6'2" and have owned 2 RT's and always felt cramped on the bike. That is the reason I went to the 2017 F3L.

    I'm surprised someone hasn't complained that on the Spyder "it's harder to do wheelies".

    If you read the safety card every time like your supposed to, you wont mind having to push just one more button.
