I have a 2015 base model with 50,000 miles on it and have no intention of getting rid of it. It has been a reliable vehicle. Has it been maintained properly is the question you need to be asking. If so I wouldn't be afraid of it.

:agree: with Navydad. Only 87,000 kms!! If the bike's been reasonably well maintained, that's barely run in!! :shocked:

If your getting a deal on it then, yes! 2015 was a good year for the RTS and 87018 KM is not an issue. here is a review of the 2015 RTS "click: https://www.totalmotorcycle.com/motorcycles/2015/2015-Can-Am-Spyder-RTS Bottom line solid ride if the price is right. :2thumbs:

87,000 kms is only 54,000 miles. Just nicely broken in. I would certainly check it out, get a dealer to check for any outstanding recalls, that sort of thing. Any spyder dealer can check that, all they need is the serial number of the unit.

Hi,

I have a 2015 RTS with 209350 kms or just over 130000 miles on it. Other than basic maintenance such as tires, brakes, sparkplugs, oil changes etc, a windshield arm, and a few drive sprockets until the last one, which is supposed to be the latest/last fix. I just changed the purge valve. It still runs good and I will keep running it till it gets tired. Not sure when that will be.

My only concern is that when it does get tired, is there someone who rebuilds 1330 engines, or will I have to find a new motor and maybe tranny?

Basic maintenance is the best thing, and as with every motorized vehicle, it will need some replacement parts over time depending on how much you use it.
