• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

What year and how many miles on it.

Just curious about what year models you have or had and how many miles you got out of them. What is the most miles you have put on a Spyder? I have ridden motorcycles to 76,000 miles with no problems. Is this realistic with a Spyder?


2013 Spyder ST. 10200 miles.

My signature covers my "history."

Owned a total of five so far. I got the first one sold in Alaska.

2008: GS SM5--traded off for a new RT in 2010. 23,500 miles.
2009: RS SE5--bought for spouse. She took it with her in 2010.
23,000 miles.
2010: RTS SE5: SE5 held on to it until 2014 when the 1330's arrived. 36,500 miles
2011: RT A & C SE5: Linda's ryde. 28,000 miles and going strong
2014: RT-S SE6: 28,000 miles and going strong.

For a while, I had to have the newest and best. Now, I am in wait and see mode. Lots of Spyders out there with 100,000 miles. They do not self destruct if serviced properly.
 
2011 RT-S trouble 12000
2012 RT-S 50000 good bike
2014 RT-S 43000 still going
2017 F3 300 new
I have 2 bikes in case one is in the shop

I have a 2015 RT it now has little over 19,000 miles on it. I purchased in in July 2017 with 10,200 miles on it. I have had no problems with it and it does run and handles real well. I am real happen with it after riding two wheel motorcycles for over 63 years. This is the first used motorcycle that I have purchased. I will ride it this year and then I may look to trade for a new one. Reason I purchased this used I did not know if I would like a Spyder for sure. Also a Honda dealer that I had purchased my 2015 F6B from had it on consignment and gave me a good trade for the Spyder. I can say I do really like the the Spyder much better than I thought I would.
 
2016 RTL

18,000 miles and not a single problem. New rear car tire at 9,000.

Mine is in the shop

Mine is in the shop having a safety bulletin completed, related to the heat issue. I hope to get it back Tuesday so I can start my journey of many miles and learning to love this bike. I have a lot to learn as I will probably not take it back to a dealer unless absolutely necessary. Orders of business to make this ride mine.

Baja Ron Sway bar
Centramatice wheel balancers ( I have been changing all my tire on motorcycles for some time)
LED’s for front and back
Running lights
Corbin bags
 
I bought a new 2015 RT in January of 2017 it now has 18,000 miles on it. I also have two wheelers that I ride more than the Spyder and this season I will pass the 750,000 mile mark on bikes. Been having fun on bikes for 50 years.
 
Still going strong

2013 RT-S with 38,000 still going strong, have had no issues with it. It now belongs to the wife, bought me a 2018 RT.
 
My 2016 F3 has around 6k miles and hibernates half the year. And I recently purchased a 2014 with 10k miles. I read a posting on here this morning with a guy who has 144+k on his 2014. You can read that post here
 
Buckeye Chuck has now reached the 150,000 mile mark, with his 2014 Spyder... :bowdown:


As for my meager riding oportunieites:
2010 RT a&C: 17,208 miles in four riding Seasons
2014 RT-L: 18,025 in just over three Seasons
2018 RT-L 28 miles as of right now...
(Our Season hasn't yet started...)
