I just bought a 'new to me' 2024 RTL.

[GP-Pirate]

I just bought a 2024 RTL. Matt black in color. Still learning how to handle it after 50+ years of 2 wheelers but must say it is a magnificent machine. Need to become accustomed to the different handling characteristics (especially cornering) as opposed to a 2 wheel bike. Only accessories so far are a rider's backrest and the saddlebag inserts, which are on order. I have already learned a lot from this forum and hope to become an active member.

“Do's & Do Not's” for New Spyder Owners:

This information is for both the 900 and 1330 series engines and will be indicated when something applies specifically to one or the other.

There are several "things" a Spyder owner needs to know when buying and operating their Spyder to help them have a better experience, and to avoid causing complications later.

This is a collection of "sage-advice" gathered from various resources on Spyder Lover's and other reliable sources to help...​

You'll scat around the curves once you get a feel for the bike. Lean forward and into the turn like you mean it, riding these things is a blast.

Congrats!
I just got my 2024 RTL in Hyper Silver. I have about 170 miles on it so far and agree that it's a magnificent machine.
I traded in my BMW 1250RT (also a magnificent machine) as the days I am able to ride on 2 wheels are getting to be fewer as the months and years roll by.
