When they get better, that's when I'll be looking. Love the body style, but until then, I'll be riding the Road Smith.

when they get fuel milage sorted out and high maitenance cost as well ..then maybe I would think of buying one.
New 1330 RT
First service at 3,000 miles, not 600 like the wing
Oil changes after that are 9300 miles, wing is 8,000
Valve adj, none, wing 32,000 miles
Air filter change remove one panel, about a 15 minute job. wing about a 2 hour job.
MPG on the new RT 1330 is said to be 36mpg. Wing after triking, 33 mpg.
The Can Am also runs $10,000 to $15,000 less than a triked wing.
Comparing the old RT costs vs. a wing. Wing wins
New RT costs vs. wing, New RT wins

Not bad, not bad at all, and a loaner as well. ThumbUp Sure can't fault that. Can't see the Trike Shop doing that, or the Honda Shop. Had some warranty work done at the Trike Shop Daytona which took about 5 hours, I asked for a loaner to putt putt around, that the attitude of, "well, if that's what you want, maybe we could find something"......After that subliminal message, I just thought 'screw it', I'll walk around the area.
My RT Spyder gets 29.3 miles per gallon average for the past nearly 2000 miles running regular 87 and the 2014 Triglide owner's report it's about the same mpg running premium. tha The Spyder fuel tank is larger n the triglide by almost a gallon. Excluding sparse and unknown gas station availability, I only fillup after My trip odometer clicks 150 miles.
I think you'll find out one day that the spyders gas tank is 6gal, not the advertized 6.6 gal... Being a former owner i can attest to that..
And my T/G gets 38 highway...Just saying..
The Can-Am is light, 500 lbs.
2014's are now 1,050 lb.It is actually 990 lbs.
