Cousin in tops on mileage
I have a cousin in Ohio and he is well over 123K on his RT.:bowdown: He rydes all year and and most weather......he's a "ryder". Maybe he'll chime in if he spots this post, look for "buckeyechuck" or something like that. He's had a few problems with his Spyder but nothing drastic.
Ryde to much? Is that possible?

I do ryde a lot, many people think too much. But what is too much?
I bought my 2014 RT-S new June 13th 2014. It had 1 mile on it. Now as of yesterday it has 123,877. Last year I rode my Spyder over 48,000 miles. This year I'm going for 55. I've owned 26 motorcycles in my 51 years of riding. But my health is failing and can no longer hold a motorcycle upright. I took a big gamble buying this RT. I test rode a new RT back in 2010, I didn't like it, at all. I thought the engine ran too fast, it needed another gear. I knew I'd be riding it a lot and the cost of gas was my concern. In late winter 2014 I get a flyer in the mail. BRP saw fit to replace that 990 twin with the 1330 ACE, with a 6th gear. I test rode one and said it was time. I got an extra year of warranty, an offer from BRP. That warranty ran out the 10th so I bought 2 more years.
I told my cousin Leslie, TXrider and the next year she sent me a picture of her sitting on her 2015 RT-L, that picture is her avatar. Wise choice Les.
SpyderAnn01 rydes her '14 RT a lot too, over 115,000. I think her and I are the only ryders who are over the 100K on a '14 RT. We should talk and compare notes.
