Posted previously that I was negotiating, but now have pulled trigger on the Chalk White RTL, I do love the way that thing rides coming off the GW/RoadSmith. I'll never get the mpg that I did on the GW, and I buy premium fuel, but guess what, I don't care.
Took delivery of our Asphalt Grey Dark Edition today. Took a nice hour long ride to get home and then started Farkling. Have already added the Auxiliary Light, Comfort Heated Seats, Driver Backrest, Touring Windshield. Still waiting on the passenger arm rests to come in. It was dark when I got home so will post a photo tomorrow. Couldn't be happier with the machine. First Spyder and first time ever riding one. Extremely pleased!
I have got to say, this looks to be the best combination that I have seen on the new RT. I love those wheels much better than what comes on the new Limited. Good move. Now I just need to stop looking at them to keep from making that move myself.
I believe he swapped the wheels of his trade in.
I didn't like the look of the chrome wheels from the pictures. It looked like the chrome is just "hanging there unattached ". Once is saw them in person I took the chrome version over the dark.20200216_164000.jpg
Bikerbillone,
I am in the same boat as you, I test drove one at Seminole Powersports in Sanford today. I too am coming off a Goldwing, actually two of them. Had a great test ride, a bit different from a motorcycle but liked it. I am pulling the trigger, either red or blue, waiting till I see a red one in person. I might end up wrapping in orange, LOL I agree on the not matching the Wings mpg and the need for premium in the Spyder, I do not care either. Maybe we will meet up sometime as I am in Daytona, Kim
They say 7 is a lucky number , this is Spyder number 7 for me..... 2020 Petrol Dark. Just waiting for the salt to come off the roads.....This is the first Spyder that "checks all the boxes" for me. This is also the first one that I think may be a long term keeper.

Congrats, we are on Spyder #5 and will keep this one at least 4 years and then look at the new ones again.
I Traded my 2014 RTL cognac for the Petrol Blue Dark RTL. I must say it put the fun back in Ryding with the brake more forward and long floorboards. enjoyed the 130 mile Ryde home.IMG_0103.jpgIMG_0104.jpgIMG_0105.jpg

Thanks Admiral, looks real good, another for the bucket list and save my coins. Gotta ask, as a Korean War Navy man, were you truly an Admiral? No offense if you'd rather not respond.
