    Default Finally rode the Spyder for the very first time

    I rented the Spyder F3 for a day and I'm in love. I've wanted this bike for years and after riding it for over 8 hours I've decided that I'm going to get one. The only knock that I have is the stereo isn't that good once you go over 50mph.

    The radio complaint is common. We have learned to live with it. Follow your heart. Make sure you post a picture once you dive in.

    Lucky you had a place to rent from for the "extended" test ryde there are stereo improvements & or Bluetooth headsets that make for ez remedy, main thing is finding the right bike,all my bikes before spyder ,the music of the wind was enough now I enjoy it yes, but thankfully don't NEED it to enjoy a ryde. Personally & to each their own

    EddieBrown, Yes! Get the bike, the stock speakers can be upgraded and many have done it themselves. With the explosion of wakeboarding/advanced waterskiing boats, watersports speakers have seen lots of improvements. Some folks are even adding amps to improve the overall sound.

    Default I Alwas say....

    Those test rydes are expensive...you will have your own no doubt and the radio is the least of your worries. I gave up and use the helmet type and ryding to your hand picked favorite tunes is the way to go....
