New Ohio Spyder RT Limited

[edbremer]

Hello All ! This past Saturday I moved on from my old BMW K1200LT to my new Spyder RT Limited. First impressions are very, very favorable in my first 240 miles. Kicking those two-wheel habits might take a bit but, the more I ride it, the more I like it. Looking forward to adding a few items for comfort and protection but this seems to have most of those areas covered. First change will be the adjustment of the front shocks, probably followed by some of Lamont's NBVs.
Here are a few pictures of the new machine that will be keeping my R1200RT company in the garage.

Congrats! I have also moved from my 03 K1200LT. I have only put 800 miles on it and starting to get real comfy in the corners. I have my K1200LT on craigslist at this time along with a color matched Unigo trailer. Last night was my wive's first real ride and it seemed at a certain point in the corners, I could feel the bike lean more than it should. I reminded to at least lean a bit in the same direction as I do. She tried to argue with me that it made more sense that if I leaned left, she should lean right. She needs a lot of practice. What do you experienced two-up riders tell your back rides when they are just learning?


MY bike on craigs list in case you know some one!

:thumbup: on the new RT. I tell my wife to look over my shoulder, left when turning left, right when turning right. This way the more I lean the more she leans. On my GS she does not have to lean much but it does help on the twisties.

:agree: Tell the passenger to look over your inside shoulder. As an alternative, tell her to just lean back against the backrest and stay put...with no sudden moves.

I told my wife to just set back and it just comes natural. It did. Also I have the corbin arm rests. Expensive but she loves them and I really like the looks.

Thanks! My first BMW was a GSA. I love that boxer twin.
