    Hi Darren111,

    Re: What do you think?

    If one goes buy the sales number for the last 6 or so years, the Spyder should have been the RT from the very beginning.

    That IMO seems to be what people want the most.

    Me, I like my '08 GS just fine,

    PS) However, it is very futuristic looking; way cool.

    It might make a neat toy for the kids but it would not make a very good motorcycle.

    I wouldn't mind the adjustable stance, but I don't think the tupperware out in front of each tire would last long.

    Oh yeah! That'll work just great on my pot-holed, slimey soupy, gravel roads! And look at all that storage capacity! Yup, runnin' the back roads and grocery shopping'll be just perfect on that thang!

    I'd have to move to buy one. Couldn't get that critter up my driveway from the street.

    Default Sorry! but no

    I am into Spyder touring because the rice burning crotch rocket days for me are long gone, as are the big touring bikes that I could no longer get back up alone when dropped (even with the help of the missus, 1200 lbs is a lot). As for the Spyder as a Touring Machine, leave it alone, we long time bikers still need a nice comfortable ride.

    Default Nope!

    Not for me. That is the butt ugliest thing I have ever seen on wheels. Could you imagine what would happen if there was a piece of debris in the road. Plastic would go flying everywhere. One trip down my dirt road driveway would destroy that thing.

    Those tires and better ground clearance on my RT would be just about right!!

    If you think the RT panels are hard to get off for service imagine the cost of service for this. Nice looking thou.
