    Default Wing to Spyder RT

    Well, I did it today... Got rid of my Wing and bought a white RT Limited. I will have to wait about a week to pick it up as I wanted some options installed and the dealer is three hours away. If they were closer, I'd be on it now. Alas...can't wait to get it home and start riding. I do ride as my Wing was a '10 and I had just under 40K.

    Loved the Wing but I'm only a 29" inseam and had too many problems in reaching the ground with flat feet.

    Where in Ohio? I went from an '02 wing to Spyder RT in 2010 with 64000 miles. I too have 29" inseam + arthur in knees. Made it difficult to hold wing up at traffic light with wife and luggage.
    that made between 1300/1400 lbs to hold up. Now have just over 18000 miles on Spyder.

    Welcome.I traded my Goldwing with 89000 miles for a Spyder RT Limited.That was beginning July and I now have 2500 miles.I love riding the Spyder but it does take 500 miles or so to get used to it.Look on this forum for the postings on the correct way to ride the Spyder.You will really find useful info.
