I felt excited for about half a second until I remembered my ex that was involved in an accident on one and did not make it. Of course, I do not have any other details.

Apparently it is important that the Ryker does not have power steering. There are not any published fuel economy figures, but someone in the Spyder forums inquired and was told:

[T]he Ryker is doing between 5L/100km to 6L/100km (39-47 MPG) depending on 1- up or 2-up, engine size, speed, road inclines, temperatures.
However, two owners reported 30 - 35 MPG.
What would it get with a full fairing?
