    I tried to report it to e-bay, but you need to sign in and my password is at home and I'm at work. (Shhh...don't tell the boss what I'm doing!)

    They set it up that way so that potential GoldWing buyers see that there's a new choice out there.

    Idiots for sure.... BRP would be none to happy.

    Also unsure about the 'Dec' delivery date. I thought I heard they were going to have to wait until Spring???

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    In the Q&A they say:
    Q: is this a gold wing .or is this a worked over bombardier spyder. thanks
    A:This is the all new Spyder rt. I have it listed with the goldwing trikes to get more attention. The Spyder RT is the first factory motorcycle that offers a Factory trailer that does not void your warranty. It has 100 hp electronic cruise control, fly by wire throttle and governing, traction control, abs interactive breaks, tilt and lift w/s, am/fm/cb/ipod/satalite intergration blue tooth intercom system, fog lamps, dual setting tour/sport throttle control, new 5" longer handlebar, 4 speaker sterio system with rpm volume control and much more. So no its not a honda, its much more.

    Funny, the title in the second line is appropriate but the header is deceptive, clearly designed to capture searches that use "Gold Wing" or "Honda". They could fix it by adding "like", "look-alike", "alternative" or "equivalent".

    I make no judgment on the price, delivery date etc.

    No reason to get irritated IMHO

    It can't be the "equivalent" if its in a class of its own!

    Outside back cover of current issue of RIDER magazine is Spyder RT. Great tag lines; "Enjoy the scenery, become the scenery" and "Riding Reinvented". Clearly targeting the Gold Wing/BMW touring crowd.

    Proves once again that ignorance is not bliss.

    Is it just me or is that movie Idiocracy coming to pass in my lifetime? LOL



    BTW, I don't ride a Can Am Spyder. I ride a Delorean from the future that has been reworked into a trike. Just thought you should all know. lol

    Default They may be...

    violating a copy right or patten listing it that way. Honda of America may be interested in knowing about this add. With their deep pockets they can probably cause someone a lot of problems.

    Talked to Co-Owner of dealership. Said he posted it that way so that when someone does a word search, the RT will show up with GoldWing. Sounds questionable, but I am no attorney.

    I have another peeve about the ad...

    Yeah, our has 3 wheels but I really dislike the reference to a trike.

    Nothing wrong with trikes, but the handles infinitely better than a trike - calling it a trike sets the wrong perception for the

    this really upsets some of you?? All they did was try to get some people to look at an ad by placing other keywords in the ad.. I dont think they are trying to trick you into thinking its a Goldwing, just trying to get more ad traffic..
