990 Miles covered

[TerryGrodi]

2012 RTS SE5

I bought my :spyder2:new in May 2013. I have put just over 30,000 miles on it. Longest trip was from Gloucester, Virginia to Sturgis, South Dakota and back in August 2013. Was a total of 5,000 miles put on the bike during that trip. The bike has done me well so far and I plan to hold onto this one for a while. My wife and I enjoy taking monthly trips together to destinations within 3 to 4 hours from the house for 3 to 4 days at a time. Sure is a great way to spend quality time together.

2013 RT Limited - approaching 24K miles and feels stronger today than it did 5K ago. When we bought it I planned to drive it until it falls apart or I determine it is a risk to drive, at 19K we took off for a SS1000 and I will say she took good care of us.

2010 RT--36,500 before I traded in 2014 for the "other" one.

There are a few out there with over 100,000. The Rotax has a good reputation for "high" mileage.

I am most likely done trading up and we will have to see how many miles the 2011 (bought new in 2012) gets. So far, Linda has 26,000 on it. :thumbup:

As I suspected from the results thus far, the 990 series Ryders don't wrack up the miles like the 1330 folks.

Of course this is very unofficial and inconclusive, but the initial thoughts that come to mind are:
1. People who had the 990's traded or sold them for the big benefits if the 1330.
2. The 990 owners are not very talkative.
3. The 990 folks just do not Ryde as much as the 1330'ers.
4. Of course most of that does not make sense because the early adopter buyers have a tendency to overuse a product, so I am not sure what we have here.

There have been several posts as of late talking about how many miles people are putting on the Spyder. Most of the higher mile numbers seem to come from 1330 owners.

I want to hear how many miles you have put on a single Spyder either your current model or a past model. I know many say that they have had three Spyders and a total of 110k, ok, that is not what I am looking for.

If you have or had a 990 series Byke how many miles did it have on it, or does it have on it.

My wife and I have a 2013 RT-S and we have averaged a little over 2000 miles a month when we ride. Due to my job we have a shorter riding season than most here. IF we're lucky, we'll get to ride about four months a year. Might get to squeeze in a couple of days extra in the spring and then again in the fall. Had ours a little less than a year and we've put just over 8500 miles on it.

2012 RTL 998 bought in June 2015 with 8500 mi. Now has 29056 miles and will be putting another 2000 miles on it this weekend (7/1-7/5):yes::yes::yes:. I came from 4 years on a Goldwing Trike and 50 years on 2 wheels before that.
