    There is a good article in the May issue of Rider Magazine "On the Road" Texas tour featuring an RT and F3. Good reading.

    Default I read it and agree that it was a great article about them

    It was a pretty long article I was pleasantly surprised to see too. There were many positive comments about both machines they were testing. I had to bring the magazine to work and have a couple of my riding buddies read it as well.

    It is a good article.
    The author (Jenny Smith) makes more than one comment on the good handling of the Spyder.
    She appears to not have experience on one except for her time on an F3L Ltd. for the story.
    She noted"...riding a Spyder fast on a twisty road is insanely fun."
    I guess she has not read all the crap here about how bad they are?
    Or she is more realistic in her approach.

    I think in order to read the article you either need a subscription to the hard copy or become a digital subscriber.

    They don't seem to have a lot of Spyder articles. To me the trip info was about equal to the Spyder info.

    The Spyder is usually an orphan. The only time they get mentioned is when BRP comes out with something new. We did get mentioned with the big Homecoming Party about a year ago.

    I contemplated a tour of Alaska aboard my Spyder but a HD rider beat me to it. PS...He covered the same stuff I was going to.

    Wait till I go riding in Arkansas.

    Finally got my mag from the mailman. A very good trip article (they gave it about 4 pages) and some nice pictures of the two 's.

    Thumbs up to the authors.
