The wife and I just returned from our first long ride of 3 days in length on our new Spyder RT-S. Having read a lot on here about mpg, heat and other things, we were looking forward to seeing how she did. A little rain each day here in southern and central Maine from Cornish to Moosehead Lake but it was good. Averaged temps 50-75 over the trip. No over heat issues. 30+ mpg burning 91 octane which as high as I can buy. Very happy with the bike! The ride is very nice. One note if I may; Beaded seat cushions are great. I bought one for each of us and we love them. Not sure if I can mention the name on here so I won't until someone tells me I can but I recommend them. I bought what appears to be some sort of plastic or ceramic beaded ones but they also make the traditional wood(?) ones too. Very impressed.
