I'm thinking about buying a 2020 RT limited.

Hello everyone. I've been gone for a few years. In 18 I traded my 08 Spyder SM5 for a 2017 Vanderhall Venice. Now I'm just starting to think about going back to a Spyder. My one big question is are they still hot? I never rode mine on hot summer days because it was just so hot with all of the bodywork. I could never ride with shorts on because my legs couldn't handle the heat even though I wrapped the pipes. Thanks in advance for any advice/help.

Having never ridden earlier models, I can say that our 2020 is cool as a cucumber on a hot sunny day, even stopped at lights.

Your old one had the 998 engine. Now they all have the 1330 and there is absolutely no heat issue. In fact, even if stuck in traffic, you'll get no heat since the radiator cooling fans will run in reverse below 6 mph to push the heat out the front.

Just picked up a 2020 RTL. Had a 2012. MUCH cooler.

I would say no worry on heat issues with the current lineup.

I say I want pics of your Vanderhall. Never seen one in person but I've watched all the videos, etc. If I had the scratch, I might invest in one but they're pricey and I can't justify it.

Two months on my 2020 RTL, very nice, cooler than my GW Trike. You cannot go wrong, get a couple demo rides.
