I just purchased a new Spyder, It rides a lot better than the Harley Triglides and as far as gas milage - It's about the same. But who gives a ****, Put more in when it's empty. Did you get the bike to enjoy the ride or worry about milage. If you did get a VWpepperhttp://www.triketalk.com/forum/images/smilies/smileygarden_de_banana7.gif
