I just left a 2001 bmw 1200 LT and it did cut through the wind nicely at about any speed, but.... it was getting pretty heavy at every stop... Pretty top heavy anyway, and with the wife on there it got only worse. Would be great if every ride only has a start and one stop!.. We got the RT and pretty much like it. 1300mi so far. It is a totally different animal, tried a harley trike and it felt like it would fall over in about every curve..... did not like that at all... The spyder is great up to about 60 and then wants to dance a little, especially in the wind. I am learning to just dance with her. It really is more stable than it seems at times, and there is a pucker factor! But it never falls over at stop lights and the wife can wiggle all she wants. You do have to drive it all the time, so more attention to the road, the dynamics between 2 wheel and Y factor are so different, it was hard to get used to. Just another transition in life to get used to. At 58 yrs old... I was ready to trade in 900lb 2 wheel for the 950 stable platform.
