Taking a 2500 mile trip

[Ubreal]

I am thinking of taking a long trip on my new spider st limited,how well does the 990 work going at 70 to 80 mph for a long time. I have to gothrough Nev. and that's the speed out there. Has anybody travel a long way on their spider and how did it fare on thetrip. :dg2:

Mine has the 1330 but people say the 990 isn't that far off. Mine did great on a 2400 mile trip, mountains and all. I'm sure you'd enjoy it and the Spyder would be fine.

That sound’s good I was a little worry about the bike, I love my spider. I wanted the 1330 but did not have the money for it. I got a good deal on my spider brand new 2014 I paid18000. The rt’s were going for 32000. to 30000. Maybe after a while I will trade this one in for an rt.

I am currently 4,200 mikes into a trip with 10 Spyders. Six of them are 2014 RT, 3 are 2012 RT and there is one 2013 RT. We have not had any issues to speak of.

i live in Las Vegas and frequently travel 400 to 700 miles a day at 80 mph towing my trailer with no issues. You should be fine.

I did ~3100 miles round trip on my 2014 ST to Spyderfest and back, much of it cruising at 70 to 75. The bike did fine.

I recently did 1600+ to Rolling Thunder with 5 Harley Riders. The '12 RT was fantastic, no issues to comment on. The heat wasn't an issue:bowdown: and the comfort was second to none. Ryde on my friend ryde on....

Oh yea also did very well in the 1 mil bike parade too. No issues...

We love to tour on our Spyders. My 2013 ST Limited does fine. I am quite comfortable, have ample room for everything that I need to pack, and my Spyder normally performs flawlessly. I can keep up with anyone.

Thanks for the info how your spider ran on your trip. I fell better now, you have the same spider that I have even the same color. Do you mind me asking what gas mileage you got on your trip? I am taking a trip from calf to Utah and this will be the first time I took my spider on a long trip.:dg1:

 

[Trbayth]

I don't bother tracking gas mileage any more. I could easily get 140 miles on a tank and regularly hit 160 before the fuel light went on.

2014 stl

i have a 2014 stl.the reserve light comes on at around 170 miles and it takes about 5 gal to fill it up.

 

[BikerDoc]

I have done numerous trips of that length or greater with both my 2010 RT and my 2012 RT without any problems. I must admit I like the gas mileage and less frequent stops on my
2014 RT and 2015 F3

Not a problem...

you will be fine. I have put 28,000 miles on that engine averaging 80mph on the open road. They are rock solid engines...have a great trip and fill us in with photos....:thumbup:
