    Default Just bought my 1st Spyder, a 2017 F3 Limited from Jay Hatfield Motorsports

    Just bought my 1st Spyder. Its a 2017 F3 Limited in Magnesium Metallic. I bought it from Jay Hatfield Motorsports in Frontenac, Kansas. It's about 45 min NW of Joplin, Mo or a little over 100 miles south of Kansas City. Had been looking and pricing different ones for over a month. 1st my wife wanted the RT Limited but then she sat on the F3 Limited and the F3-T and loved it. Decided on the F3 Limited as we wanted the floorboards, heated grips, etc... If we would have bought the F3-T then I would have had to add those and a backrest and different seat to it so the Limited made more sense.

    I can't say enough good things about Jay Hatfield Motorsports. They gave me a good deal on my trade in and the price of the Limited was very good too. One of the lowest prices on Cycletrader.com.
    My salesman, Kevin, was awesome. When I asked if they would take a car for a trade in (Jay Hatfield also has multiple car dealerships), he asked me what I had. Now mind you this was at Friday at 5:50pm and they close at 6pm. He was still texting me until 9pm that night making sure he had all the info on my car, pics, VIN, etc... so he could start 1st thing Saturday morning on what they would offer me as trade in. Now, Most places would say get back with me in the morning with all your info as we're about to close and I'll work up a price then. I think that's what sold me on Jay Hatfield. He didn't care that it was a Friday night, he wanted to make sure he had the info he needed.

    Picked it up yesterday and rode it the 100+ miles back up to home. Can't wait to put a lot more miles on it.

    Here's a pic.
    The 100+ mile ride home was great. Handled fantastic. Caught myself at the 1st few stop lights grabbing for a clutch that's not there. haha
    Very happy with the Spyder since all's I've ever owned are Harley's and still have one but I'm looking forward to putting more miles on the Spyder.

    We have 2 Kansas City dealers and the one up north by the airport, the only Spyder they have is a left over 2015 F3. The other one in the south of town is a Platium dealer and they will try to rip you off. We tried to buy a new 2015 RT-S last year from them. Got all the way to signing the paperwork and realized they had changed the price on us and upped it $4,000. Price was higher than a RT-Limited they said they sold. We walked. Will never do business with them or recommend them to anyone. That's why I went to Jay Hatfield 1-1/2 hrs away.
