Someone posted this from a trip to Milwaukee, a prototype of things to come?

Rented a Spyder for the wife this weekend for our 21st wedding anniversary. She loved it! She was upset when she wasn't able to handle 2 wheeled machine but this has way, way better. Hell, she was rolling along at 70mph within 2 hours of getting on it. Very good machine for her and I actually was quite comfortable with how she did. Perfect for her.

Be prepared to buy one soon. They are very cool and fun. I wonder if we will see any at Sharkweek?

I've had the opportunity to ride both models the RS, and the RT, with both types of transmissions. Corner handling takes some getting used to, they will spin the back tire by just pinning the throttle in a straight line. I;m 6'2" and feel a little cramped on either model. Would have to investigate aftermarket options for seats, but I would absolutly get the button shifted automatic!!
