2014 RT-L Test Ride Today

[Don in E Texas]

Rode my 2010 RT to my dealer today to get a spare key ($45.00). While waiting to have it programed (or what ever they do to it), I asked if I could have a test ride on their 2014 RT Limited. They had just finished putting it together, adding oil, etc. I got on the bike - first impression: seat is 'different' - compared to my past two Spyders (both had Corbin seats). Next, turned the key on. Oh my goodness: ZERO miles! Has not been out of the yard yet! Engine start - not your Fathers Spyder, that is for sure (Daughter, Laura, has a 2011 RT-L)! Different sound all together. Out on the road -- shifting is smooth. No, I take that back -- it is SMOOOOOOTH!. If you are sitting on the fence about the purchase of a new Spyder, "you owe yourself a try on" (didn't Geraldine say something like that re: Flip Wilson?)

See y'all at Spyderfest

Must be something from "Yellow Tail"... :2thumbs:

There's no luck at all involved; He gave the bike to me... and sold me one VERY expensive bottle of Courvoissier! :shocked:

 

[Don in E Texas]

No new bike in my future

I'm very pleased with the 2010 ride I have now. I just wanted to post support for the 2014 for those that are thinking about one. My dealer had the best comment: "Take all the past problems and roll them into one: This machine has NONE of them. I guess the verdict is still out there on the 2014 ST models, etc.

See All Ya'll next week in Springfield
