Lots of good information here...pro and con. I love BR1 and my GW Motor Trike. Have you bought a RT yet. Let us know what your thoughts are now...

In one of the post someone said that he didn't think it was a good touring machine so I was wondering why?

Well, I said I don't think it's an ideal touring machine. That's because I don't think it's reliable enough, there are not enough dealers, and many parts and the major diagnostic tool are proprietary. For instance, if you need a new tire you need a Spyder dealer - the local Honda shop won't be able to help you. Gas mileage also keeps it from being my ideal touring machine.

But in many other respects, including comfort and the availability of the trailer, it is a great touring machine. We had a great time on our 4,600 mile trip this summer!

We have a 2010 RT S purchased in May of 2010. Our issues have been very minor, and not unlike those we had when our car was new. We rode the mountains in Maggie Valley in June at the owners event and the nanny never kicked in on any of the turns. And I took some of them pretty aggressively on wet and dry roads. Yes dealer service can be maddening, and not widespread. But this is a fairly new machine and sold by only a few dealers. I agree with others about the mileage and gearing, I to wish it were better. I have a friend who owns a certain brand of two wheeler purchased new and it has been in the shop more than on the road. He's considering getting rid of it. just know, we love our Spyder.
