One of the questions I am often asked is how long a Spyder will last. So I am curious, how many of you have put a Spyder over 100,000 miles? I know there are a few, but it would be nice to get a better feel for how many units are truly over 100,000 miles. Of course it is possible, but is it truly probable? Is it a realistic expectation for most Spyders to reach 100,000 miles (within a reasonable amount of time, like 10 years)? Cheers!
:cheers:
I know that Spyderjockey is well over that mark; with his GS... :bowdown:
I am thinking there are under five that are documented on SL.
It might be difficult to determine because most trade them off well before the 100,000 mark is reached.
I have had five, but the most miles so far was 36,500 before I traded "up" to a 2014 1330 RTS.
My current rides both have only 21K and 23K. Not considering getting the F3 LTD that I was talking about a few months back. Will see if I exceed my 36.5K "record" this go around.
I believe Ann has over 70,000 on her 2014.
How about SethO, and Docdoru?
Did their bikes make it to 100K? :dontknow:
i know pincushion had 80,000 + when he sold it and don't know how many more it has by now...I'm a third of the way...:thumbup:...:riding:
Walter got over 1k. Wonder how many miles he has racked up now?

Again: he did it on multiple bikes. The original question was about how many Spyders have exceeded 100,000 miles...
...Not how many Spyder riders have accomplished it. :D
DocDuru had over 1k, but not all on the same engine. Don't know about SethO.Quote:

Knew he lost his GS early on and thought he bought another one and just rode it. :dontknow:Quote:

I'm glad that they fixed that glitch; even though it's never been an issue for me! :D
Thanks for that video! :clap:
Ooops! Guess I should have read vs. look at the pictures...:opps:Quote:

Doc, Lamont, Ann, Dwayne, Jim, Walt...

I should hit 100,000 by the 3 year mark on my 2014 RT, I'm at 76,500 and getting ready to put about 8,000 more on it in June. Other than Spyderjockey I don't know anyone who hit 100,000 on their 998 with original engine.
Those were two of the five I was thinking about--but both got replacement engines--so that may muck up the situation a bit.Quote:

Hi guys, I just checked my odometer and I am at 123,862 miles. If we had longer riding season here in central NY I'm sure we would have considerably more. It has been a great bike and almost trouble free. I did have some dealer issues that was expensive, but all is kind of "forgiven". The bike itself has been very dependable and essentially trouble free, it has become part of the family. We are looking forward to the Homecoming next year and should have around 135,000 miles on it, by then, if all goes well.

Still love my Spyder!!!!!:yes::thumbup:
Hi Jim! :D
I'm glad that you showed up for this thread... :thumbup:
You, Nancy, AND your GS; deserve a bit of recognition... :clap: :2thumbs: :firstplace:
(Please take note of his "Miles to Posts" ratio... :bowdown:)
Spyderjockey props to you and your GS. I hope my :spyder2: lasts like that..:firstplace:
Joe and I look forward to seeing you in Quebec.Quote:

Haven't heard from him for over a year.:sour: I had an 09 RS and still have my 10 RT and between the two only have just over 70,000. Am working on more time in the saddle.
