I am a new Spyder owner and am curios about how many miles owners have on their Spyders.
I tend to keep my bikes for a long while, example my last Goldwing I had for ten years and had 120,000 plus miles on her. I know that the 1330s have not been around long enough to acumalate heavy miles but what about the 990s?

There are a couple here that have exceeded 100,000 miles on the 998. A few more with 50,000 plus.

Although I have close to 120,000 accumulated miles on 5 assorted :spyder2:'s, my best was 36,500 on the 2010.

Currently edging up on 16,000 on the 2014. I believe there are also a couple that are getting close to 50,000 so far.

On my 14 RT I have 48,000 miles in 16 months. I'll put at least 8,000 on it in the next month. It has been trouble free.

I too tend to hold on to my bikes for a long time. The last to Yamaha Ventures I had each had over 100k on them most of those miles mine. I bought my Spyder 2 weeks ago coming from a Gold Wing TRike. It had 8500 mi and now have 9500 on it. Unless something happens I expect this to be my last bike so it better last a long time.

I've had my 2014 RTL for 4 months now and have 8000 on it. I bought it to have for many years as my Valkyrie. I hear they are maintenance free at least so far.

Traded my 2012 RT in with 12,000 miles

Traded my 2013 RT in with 9,000 miles

Traded my 2014 RT in with 27,000 miles

My 2015 RT currently has 4,000 miles (but the ashtray is not full yet).

We've enjoyed 17,700 miles on our 2014 RT Limited. :D:D:D The engine/transmission has been flawless. :firstplace: Only issue we had is a cracking of the plastic where the saddle bags attached - replaced under warranty.

Our 2012 RT Limited had just under 8,000 miles when traded in on our 2014 RT L in Jan 2014. The 2012 RT L was a very reliable machine as well with minimal issues.

We've been lucky on both of our Spyders....no real issues to speak of.

The 2014 RT L has been an AWESOME machine.....a real "keeper". :thumbup:

My wife got the first RT in Nov 2011 and put the first 66K on it until upgrading to the 2015 RT-S in April. She has 9K on the 1330 and I got the hand me down and have another 2K on it. Sold the last 2 wheeler in April. She commutes to work on the RT most days and puts on 9-10K on a year just commuting.

I have the important job of support member/pit crew to keep the tires, oil and maintenance up.
Looking forward to my off-time now that she's running the 1330!!:yes:
