Aircraft engines are like marine engines, designed for high constant load. You wouldn't want one in a car or bike, which is a highly variable partial load.

Short gearing will do that. Do those tiny accessory windshields provide much wind protection for the chest and hands? Looks like little protection for the legs.

The front trunk not accepting a full face helmet is an epic fail. Why is the acceleration so good? I thought this was the same old 1330 engine.

Can somebody summarize the F3 for me? Lots of raves but I'm not clear why it's so much better than the previous Spyders.

I like the ST more than the RT and am quite disappointed the new engines are only in the RT. I guess I'll wait until they upgrade the ST to buy one, hopefully next year. This model split must be...

They probably still have the plans and tooling for the Buell 1150R motor. Just convince Harley that a few bucks in royalties from Spyder production is better than the nothing out of Buell they're...

I-10 Westbound, in Phoenix, somewhere between I-51 and Loop 101 exits. It shows a happy homeowning couple seated on a Spyder RT.

A sixth gear would probably do more for your fuel efficiency than a bigger engine. That said, I've always wanted the 1125CR engine.

What a waste. I'd rather see them spend engineering time on a new engine and 6-speed transmission.

When I think of it, a "tap" is a brief contact that at most does a lane change. You can't "tap" the bar to make a sweeping turn.

If that reviewer has actually ridden a motorcycle before, whoever...

With the flatter ride in corners would that obviate any need for aftermarket anti-sway bars?

Has this reviewer actually ridden a motorcycle before? Here's his description of countersteering: "the rider pulls back on the left handlebar to turn right". No, that's totally wrong. You push the...

Exactly. What value does that motor have right now? Zero. What value does it have if Can-Am is buying them for its Spyder? More than zero. I find that math compelling.

I'm sure whoever owns the rights to produce the engine wouldn't mind making a deal, since that right is worthless right now.

From what I could tell the 1125CR motor not only has loads more peak...

The Spyder needs a sixth gear much more than it needs a new engine. As for the engine, how about keeping things in the family by using the Rotax from the Buell 1125CR?

The RT doesn't need a bigger tank, it needs a sixth gear.

The review claimed the shocks are non-adjustable. Yes, you can adjust spring preload, but that won't affect damping. I'm surprised Öhlins or White Power doesn't make make a set of fully adjustable...

Cycle World was complaining that the RT's suspension was soft and underdamped. Is that your experience?

How many additional inches in width over stock does the cover add to the pedal?

If my legs were that short I couldn't ride any motorcycle let alone a Spyder. It's not a matter of my legs being too short, it's the toes-out riding position that creates problems. The brake pedal...

I was checking out a used RS on a dealer's lot. Because I have short arms, I basically must hug the tank to get a proper reach to the bars that doesn't put a lot of weight on my wrists. That requires...
