    I got that from my newphew Until the first time he tried to keep up , he has a HD Classic, But Spyder faster taking off better in the twisty and cruise just as good. He does beat me with the fill-ups.

    Default 2nd Gear!

    I did most of it in 2nd gear and just let the RPMs run high on the straight aways. On occasion I would make it into 3rd, but it's almost not worth it since you have to kick back down to 2nd quickly to really corner well.

    I just went on a group ride with some harley's sunday, they were wondering how i would keep up, well when we were in manhattan & i needed to pass they were surprised how easily i got a burst of speed & handled the cabs & buses all over.
    they were all good guys & we all went out for a fun morning ride & breakfast.

    P.S. my wife on the back of my bike was saying we were the one getting the looks as we drove on broadway heading down town

    I have a Harley 2003 anniv. road king which I love to ride, I also have a 2011 spyder RS_S 5 my wife has a 2008 GS, when she got it she was riding a trike, could not keep up with the Harleys when she got the spyder it was no problem for her to keep up. could have run off and left us I believe so now I ride the spyder most of the time
