    Red face Meet Copper, our new family member!

    Just traded in my 2010 RT for a 2014 RT Limited. Got a sweet deal at Tommy's Motorsports in Clinton TN. A big thank you to Phil for the great treatment. This ride is awesome!

    Default Congrats!

    Nice! I have had my 2014 for over a year and have about 13,000 trouble free miles on it. Since we live in Minnesota, it's been in storage over the winter, but temps were nice this week and took it for a ride. Battery tender over the winter and fuel stabilizer. Started right up - no problem.

    Enjoy your ride - you will love it! BTW....like the color choice !!!!!

    We love this color. It is even more beautiful in person than in the pictures I had seen on-line. We rode 300+ miles roundtrip to pickup this beauty yesterday. The 1330 engine just purred coming down off the Cumberland Plateau. That trip was a strain for our 2010 Rt. We look forward to bringing it to Spyderfest.

    Yes, the color is really cool....especially with the sun hitting it!

    FYI - don't worry about your gas mileage right away.....my 2014 RT took about 1500 miles for the break in process...from that point, the mileage stabilized. I average between 35 - 40 MPG.....Best was around 42.5 MPG. This is a great improvement over my 2012 RT. What I like best about the 2014 RT engine/transmission is how quiet it is at cruising speed (55-60 MPH) and how much less vibration than my 2012 RT. My 2012 RT was a trouble free great machine....however, the 2014 RT is a "home run" and love riding every mile on it!

    Enjoy your ride!!!

    We bought this Spyder used with 7000 miles on it so all the break-in is done. It got approx. 37 mpg on some pretty steep terrain. It is much quieter than my 2010 was and seems to glide from gear to gear.
    Incidentally, a 70+ young couple traded this into the dealer for a new Slingshot. So we all got what we wanted.

    I met the guy who traded it in at the Knoxville Boat Show seemed like very nice people. We looked at the Slingshot not for me!

    Slingshots are not for me either. They look cool enough but they're not motorcycles to me

    Love mine. Has had only three problems. Bad front tires (dealer replaced), gas cap wouldn't come off (will get one at Auto Zone tomorrow),and need stiffening of front suspension (used BlueKnight's kit).

    We are loving the extra power and the extra gear. It is so much smoother and easier to drive. I loved my 2010 but I can't stop smiling with Copper. We are just beginning to warm up here and it supposed to be 70 here on Monday with plenty of sunshine, and I am off Work!
