Check out Cycle World review

[GeminiJane]

Be sure to catch the December Cycle World review of a Spyder ryde. One more two wheel rider in love with the Spyder!:thumbup:

[BRPjunkie]

Best description of the Spyder by a motorcycle magazine review; "This thing is a hoot!" Two questions that the review raises: He says the SE5 has a tethered gas cap. Is that something new to all models or just unique to the SE5? Claims to have gottem 53 mpg on a ride. Not sure if that is possible. Best I ever got was 36 mpg.

Got my SE5 3 weeks ago - no tether.

[Dennis-SE5]

450+ miles since purchased over 4 weeks ago. No tether either and have only been getting around 32 mpg. 53 mpg:hun:

The author stated that he mostly got mid-thirties for mpg, and seemed to question the one tank on a flat, slow road at 53 mpg. I suspect either a calculation error they didn't catch, or that they just filled that tank until the automaic shutoff clicked, and it really wasn't full. Shows the folly of calculating each time, instead of doing a longer term average.
