Climbing aboard the Spyder is easy; the operator steps onto a foot peg and swings the other leg over, and the passenger can do the same with an adjustable, flip-down floorboard. The inherent stability of this three-wheeler—especially at a standstill—makes mounts and dismounts drama-free.

Rear passengers of most body types get plenty of room, and can sit upright or lean against a padded backrest. The operator’s posture is more ergonomically accommodating than the RS’s; knees are positioned at a near-90 degree angle, and the handlebar has been lengthened to offer more leverage. All touring models get a small electronic display permanently nestled between analog gauges, though the optional removable navigation unit—a Garmin Zumo 660—runs a steep $1,199.

Three levels are available: the RT (priced at $20,999), the RT Audio & Convenience (which comes in at $22,999), and the top of the line RT-S (which will set you back $24,999.) All three models have front storage, side cases, a glovebox and a top case for a total of 155 liters of storage (10 more than the Honda Gold Wing), and each can be mated to a $3,999 trailer for a total of 777 liters-- more than the Jeep Compass and Nissan Rogue. The trailer requires a swingarm-mounted hitch that runs $499. All models come with an electric windscreen, cruise control, heated driver grips, and a 12-volt outlet. The Audio & Convenience package adds a two-speaker AM/FM audio system with iPod integration, heated passenger grips, and remote front cargo release. The RT-S ups the ante with two more speakers, fog lamps, 5-LED accent lighting, shiny trim, and remote adjustable suspension.
