Well after 5 and 1/2 years we have said a found farewell to our 2013 RTL, and welcomed into out life a New 2018 RTL Pearl White Dark Edition to the family! Went out for a little Shakedown Run in the snow yesterday! Yes it does snow in California!169472169473169474169475169476

I was going to ask if you noticed any differences, now if only that snow would melt....

Well I have been used to the 1330 and SE6 on my F3L but my wife has been ryding the 2013 RTL and she was blown away by the steering, and the smoothness of the transmission! We were in Placerville so the snow wasn’t too thick, but it was fun for a change!

I've got the same model but didn't know these machines would perform in the snow???? so how deep was your snow??
Yu will surely enjoy your new ride.

In fairness BigF we the snow fall was light and it was melting as it hit the ground. Roads were plowed and it was only 39 degrees, so for us fair weather people, these were radical conditions! But kinda fun!

The kind of snow you show is usually no problem for the Spyder. Ice, is another matter.

If you get into two or more inches on the ground...then the rear wheel is likely to spin because the two front wheels are acting like snow plows.

Thanks we were able to get 62000 out of the first RT, and 31000 so far on the F3L. Looking for this one to last a while too!

Understand Deanna, for us, snow is a novelty! And it wasn’t too cold either!

California gets a warm snow. Utah gets a dry snow!

Ours was mixed with a bit or rain too as we were only at about 2000 feet elevation!

Very nice new machine.
Enjoy the ride.
Wish the snow would go away from Nevada so we could get out and ride.
