Does RT really have enough power

You bet it does.

Two up (360 lbs total) w/trailer 50% loaded, and each trunk on the spyder full too.

We started this trip heading West through mother natures wind tunnel(search wind machines Palm Springs/Whitewater).

It's a pull out of Coachella Valley. Uphill, with strong head winds out of the West almost always guaranteed. 4th gear at 70 MPH and the spyder was loving it. Fueled 70 miles into the ride. 27 MPG. Not bad when you know how strong the wind was blowing(40+) for the first 50 miles and 75% of those miles were uphill too.

Climb to Onyx Summit, 8443 feet.

3rd gear in the twisties with occasional use of second gear. Spyder was always turning 6K +. Not once did I sense the spyder needed more power (the spyder was climbing as fast as the road would allow). Wasn't pushing it, but wasn't dogging it either, and there were still plenty of ponies available if I wanted to call on them. Fuel on this leg? Much steeper climb on this leg but fuel mileage stayed the same.

Does the spyder have enough power. You bet it does. But it's not a 3K cruiser.
