My Rt S turned 2000 miles yesterday, right in the middle of a cancer charity ride with 140 other bikes. Ours was the only Spyder. Could not stop and get a picture of the momentous event as we were pretty much in the middle of the pack. Had no trouble keeping up with the Hardleys, Yamahahahas, Hondas, etc. Had to pass a Honda Goldwing trike pulling a trailer, he just could not keep up with the pack. A Hardley trike owner said he's seriously considering trading in his for a Spyder. Told him to wait for the 2011s. Only problem I had, if you want to call it that, was vibration in the pegs and seat. Gonna get the belt and engine support checked. Also hope my milage improves, 25 per gallon sucks.:spyder:

Congratulations and was that you that I saw about 3 weeks ago on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Asheville? It was a pretty blue RT-S that went by me while I was on the side of the road. It was headed west.

Sorry, wasn't me. Haven't been to the Parkway yet. Would love to get there soon before the cold weather hits.

Also hope my mileage improves, 25 per gallon sucks.:spyder:

I bought mine with 700 miles Memorial Day weekend. I now have about 6000 miles on it and my mileage is improving from 25 mpg to almost 30 mpg, and I ride the bike like I stole it.

I hope you see improvement as the bike breaks in.
