• 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's your 2022 RTL getting for gas mileage?

I have a 2021 RT Base when I drove it from Alabama to NJ at a steady pace of 72 MPH It would show on the display 240 -230 miles when I filled up . I think I got around 34 MPG.

I recently bought a Nissan Versa ... it has an " avg. mpg " display ... It usually reads 39.4 MPG .... However it actually got 34 mpg using proper math calculations .... these devices can't be relied on for accurate info ...... JMHO ... Mike :thumbup:

I just purchased my 2022 Spyder RTL and at reserve light on with 3--- displayed i have traveled 188 mikes and take 5.1 gallons on fill-up. that would be a little over 35 MPG.
It says its a 7 gallon tank but doesn't appear to be and BRP wont answer my questions.

It is a 7 gal. tank ..... however some of that is above the filler hole and this prevents it from ever Completely getting Filled ..... Mike :thumbup:
 
seeing we have a 7 gallon tank and at most fill ups i squeeze in 6.5 gallons, that means that guy is getting 50.769 MPG :roflblack:.

i ride my trike like a fat kid going after chocolate cake and i average mid to high 30's.

second though maybe he was on kilometers.



and please leave my grandma alone, how i write is exactly how i talk, full of errors, i spent my time in shop class not English.

I had the privilege of teaching "shop class" for 37 years. I'd still be there if it wasn't for the school administration.

I get a solid 35. I ride my spyder hard. I weigh 170lbs and the wife 125lbs. I run it hard with her on it as well. She ain't happy unless I do. I always run 5mph over the speed limit. I guess that's why I don't do group rides. I tried that and man, people just want to poke along. boring. lol
 
I just checked the total "stat" screen on my 2020; with just a little under 11K on it, my average over those miles is 31.5. Mostly mixed driving, I like twisting the throttle and rarely, if ever, use the "eco" mode.

Despite the claimed fuel capacity, I've never squeezed more than 5.2 gallons in, even when the guage showed empty.

I feel the same way
 
On my ‘21 RTL I get a consistent 37mpg now using 93 octane and Eco mode… driving highway speeds (70+) to get to the slower twisty country lanes and back on the highway for home.
First tank of gas off the showroom floor I got 41… I was shocked.
It settled to 39 for several months and now is 37-38 mpg, usually 37.
The 3000 and 9300 mile oil changes have been done.. hope it continues to hold the mpg.
 
On my 2018 I think I got into the 30's a couple of times. BRP claims 40MPG. I would put over 5 gallons a lot.
On my 2022 I have over 300 miles and I'm averaging 23-25 MPG.
I'm hoping to get 35 MPG which makes my 300 mile trip with no gas stations doable

GOOD LUCK on 300 miles without adding gas on a 7 gallon tank! I will never try to squeeze that out of mine. I hate walking just because I was trying to see if it would make it. Just plain silly! MHO. Bill

Do the math: 35mpg, 7 gal tank, = 245 miles

Another question for those that have the newer RTL, is your engine noisy?
It's much noisier than my 2018

Define noisy, I have the primary muffler delete and can record videos at highway speed and be heard clearly with no apparent engine noise.

That being said some helmets are noisier than others.

My '21 RTL sounds like a thrashing machine compared to my 2008 Honda Gold Wing GL1800.
I have driven up behind people on the Gold Wing and they had no idea I was there.

Standing next to the bike it's very noisy. Much noisier than my 2018.
I'm hoping to find another 20 to 22 to compare
