:welcome: You will need to get used to it. It took most bikers here anywhere from a couple hundred to a couple of thousand miles before they were comfortable. When the weather permits, set up some soccer cones or tennis balls cut in half in a parking lot, and practice the skills course in the manual (or on the DVD). It really helps your comfort level. Also, consider increasing the air in the front tires from the recommended (low) pressure. Most folks run about 20 psi on the RS, but a bit less on the RT. I ran 18/28 on the front/rear of my RTS. In addition, you may want to adjust the front spring preload, especially for two-up riding. If you do, be sure to jack up the Spyder and lubricate the adjuster with WD-40. Enjoy the Ryde!

I had limited history on a two-wheeler (compared to most on this site), and I too thought I made a mistake. After ryding it for a while realized it was me that had to adjust to it, and I feel much safer on my Spyder than a two-wheeler. :welcome: and :congrats:

:congrats: Glad to see the Viper Red's are starting to arrive. Still no deliveries in NC. Was yours a SE or SM model? I'm waiting for the SE5. I should clarify as I'm listed in Alexandria, VA. I also have a house in NC and they offfered a great deal where here in VA they would only talk list price plus added freight and dealer prep.

Viper Red

My dealer called me today he unloaded a red RT/se that I have been waiting to see he cut the plastic so I could see the color, he knows I am going to buy one the only ? Is the color he is going to put it and a blue one together so I can make up my mind The red reminds me of my old (65) corvette.
