    IMHO the Spyder wasn't picked because ….IT ISN'T A REAL MOTORCYCLE ….to the motorcycle community ….. and I don't consider it to be one either , and I've owned three different ones …… Mike

    But I bet the RT and F3T would be #1 and #2 in the Three wheel reverse trike touring bike top ten, or #2 and #1....

    I wouldn't put too much stock in that list. The BMW 6 cyl., Moto Guzzi, or the Yamaha Venture and of course no 3 wheelers didn't make the list either.. There are other fine motorcycles that aren't on that list That are really great motorcycles, including the RT.

    I must say, I kind of agree with the list, but surprised that the BMW did place in the top 3. I have 2 friends that are going on a cross country trip, and into Canada on the KTM Super Duke touring. I would not consider that in the top 5, but it really is a sweat bike for the adventurous type of rider.
    And no, I didn't expect to see the spyder on that list, but I do plan on my own cross country ride next year.

    Default Gotta say...

    Top 5 and 10 does not really cover the wide array of vehicles out there. I agree they are surveying two wheelers not Trikes, Reverse trikes or autocyles. But a nice selection and fun to watch and see the cool features....
