Pirate, Now I understand why the salesperson at Route 1 Motorsports in Malabar, Florida today looked at me kind of funny when I said I would like to see the new Ryker! He said that maybe they will be in in a couple of weeks but did mention that in the powersports world unlike the car business, manufacturers announce new models early and typically deliver much later than in the automobile business that he had been in. I guess BRP is not providing delivery statuses to the dealers at this point?

I called 3 Dealers besides my own and as is common-They are putting in their individual orders with BRP this week after attending the Demos! I wonder what they do with the 20? Demos that were at the Dealer meeting?

Sorry folks for the lack of response. We have been leading rydes non stop. First impression: This is a really fun machine. Just jump on, grip it and rip it. We only have access to the 600 cc version, but it really gets up and goes. I am told that this little beast weighs in at around 550 lbs. Fuel economy at about 45 to 50 mpg. All of the Nanny Mechanisms are built in so the safety factor remains in play. The 900 has Sport Mode, and also a Rally model with off road tires and "Rally Mode" to allow you to play in the dirt and have fun. Amazing how smooth it accelerates with no shifting at all. Shaft drive is very smooth and no "Vibration". Three colored panels that can be switched out for what ever color you want to ryde that day. They pop on and they pop off. Full "U-Fit" system that you can adjust in seconds for Ryders of different sizes. Both handle bars and foot pegs. You can even adjust the the angle of the Brake peddle. One panel slides back to reveal the gas tank, fill it, and slide it back. Gas and go! Rydes really nice and has a lots of accessories available. Detachable passenger seat with passenger pegs, additional storage can be purchased. Oh 16 inch wheels!

It is designed for 3 types of Ryders. The 20 to 30 something crowd that wants to commute to work with a back pack on their back that just can't afford the $30,000.00 machine. The Rally folks that want to mix it up in the dirt. Lastly for people like you that just want to go out and have fun. I think these guys are going sell really well, and I suggest you test ryde one when you have the opportunity. :yes::yes::yes:

Sweet! I'm enjoying the impressions so far. I don't see myself owning one quite yet, but I DO see the appeal for sure.

Thank you , I learned way more reading your description than that 22 minute RIDE report that was posted earlier ….. 16 inch wheels is that front and rear ??????? ……….. I think Vredestein makes some really sticky tires in that size !!!! …. Mike …..…..VREDESTEINS that might fit 185/55-16 and 195/45-16 for front …...Rear 225/55-16 and 225/60-15 in the Quatrac 5 model …….These are available now at the TIRERACK.COM...…. I'll check the Home web site for Vredestein Tire co. :clap:

[Capt. Bob]

This Ryker reminds me of the imaginary vehicles they were using in the movie Tron. I think Can-Am is going to sell the heck out of these to the 20-30 y-o demographic you mentioned.

[Petrom714]

due to some injury problems, i would not be able to have the seat be much lower than on my current f3--did you get a sense of how much lower the whole trike is just slung to the ground than a full spyder, the seat itself looks to be maybe 5 inches lower?? thanks in advance if you got a sense for this..

The seat height is 3 inches lower than the F3.

didn't know they had any models made for test rides yet. cool.

Sorry Guys and Gals, don't mean to Blow Bubbles in the Spaghetti but I just don't like the looks and can't get excited over this. I still get exited over a lot

of things at my age but this ain't one of them. Maybe a new Ferrari or Porsche but not this.

Still love my RTL!

BTW, I sold my Shockwave Toy Hauler and bought a new Tiffin Phaeton Motorhome. Will be towing the Spyder in my Look enclosed Trailer to Boerne, TX

for the Hill Country Ride again this year. (4th year) Staying at the Alamo RV park across from the Spyder Dealer if any would like to take a look. My

eighth Motor home with three Toy Haulers in between. Nothing like a Diesel Pusher! I would personally like to thank my "kids" for allowing me to spend

their inheritance!

[Peter Aawen]

I dunno, apart from them looking sorta like low flying crickets after they've slammed so hard into the windscreen of an oncoming car that their tails've been driven almost as far up their arses as their noses've been shoved down their throats, they do look like a sorta interesting & potentially heaps of fun 'play around' package!?! http://www.ozspyderryders.com/Smileys/aaron/005.gif

Low seating & CoG; light weight teamed with your choice of reasonable power output engines (should be a pretty good power to weight ratio whichever engine you choose); potentially better ground clearance, at least in the Rally versions, than from the rest of the current road-worthy crop from BRP; selectable Sport &/or Rally modes for 'controllable drifting' on the tarmac or gravel; and a pretty good choice of colours, accessories, & storage options... I'm definitely 'interested' in their potential as a fun toy! http://www.ozspyderryders.com/Smileys/aaron/great.gif

Buuuut, while it does look like they have a 'different' tire tread selection, at least for the Rally versions, it still looks like it's gonna be on Kenda tires!! :banghead: All the pics I've seen seem to show them wearing Kendas, albeit some appear more 'all-terrain' than the directional road tires! http://www.ozspyderryders.com/Smileys/aaron/banghead.gifAaaaannnd to add insult to that injury, according to their specs, it looks like these things are now specced for MC tires, only in a different set of slightly odd sizes from those generally available, which could mean we are stuck running Kendas if we want to remain legal cos it's doubtful too many others will make MC tires in suitable tread patterns & anything close to those sizes.... http://www.ozspyderryders.com/Smileys/aaron/001_9898.gif

Plus, for those of us Down Under, cos there's no bodywork protruding beyond the front wheels or extending beyond the trailing end of the rear tyre, aaaand with the muffler not even making it as far as the rear tyre at all, & a few other niggling idiotic restrictions, I think there may be a good chance that we never actually get to see them on the roads here in Aus - at least not in the currently shown format!! http://www.ozspyderryders.com/Smileys/aaron/001_unsure.gif Still, while the package itself might look interesting to start with, & while there may be some 'work-arounds' produced eventually that will get them past the current Aust Design Rules re body-work & mufflers, lights, etc, there's just NO WAY I'm ever going to be buying a vehicle for road use that is ONLY allowed to run on Kenda tires!! http://www.ozspyderryders.com/Smileys/aaron/scared.gif

[Pirate looks at --]

Yes 16 inch all around and Kendas all around. BTW I was really impressed with the cornering capabilities. Ryde position is very similar to the F3! That seat may be a bit lower.

[guzzihack]

Just showed the wifey the pics of the Stryker. Her comment, "Yuk, that's ****ty looking. I don't care for that at all"! Opinions will vary. Don't think it will win any beauty contests, but they at least gave it a drive shaft. I'd like to see one in person and do a demo Ryde before I give out my opinion.

Hello Pirate,

Can the fuel filler cap and the storage compartment be locked? Where is the ignition lock located? Can the parking brake be operated after removing the ignition key? Thanks

Truly sorry about that. Perhaps a lot of F3 and RT prices will drop because of this and diverted interest. Should be some very good deals in the near

future on used F3's and RT's. I would personally prefer a used F3 or RT over a new Stryker.

​Jack

[Capt. Bob]

Jack, I rode my well optioned 2015 F3S to a Can-Am dealer yesterday to look at the as yet non-available Stryker and realized that there is absolutely very little comparison between my F3S and a 900 spec Stryker. I LOVE my SM6 (clutch/shifter) which I am delighted that Can-Am continues to make for 2019 which frankly surprised me since most of their customer base prefers the semi-automatic and now CVT transmissions. Certainly not a game changer for my needs and I am getting too old to go play in the dirt on a three wheeler. Bob

It did not look like you could lock the gas cover, but it could be that once the key is out (slips in by your left leg). I don't believe you can use the e-brake after the key is removed. You shift into reverse with a lever close to your left foot!

The Ryker is not a Spyder. BRP was very adamant about. The base price on the 2019 RT will be $3500.00 lower.

Hello Pirate,
Thank you very much for the information. :clap:

I like how "mean" looking it is. But then again, I'm partial to the F3 look as well. Seems about right for the target market and intent. this is not a slick city machine, that's not how they seem to be marketing it.

Per videos- You attach a DESS connector to the left side (Like a Jet Ski) Push the Start button- Then a Twist of the throttle starts It.

Thank you Pirate.

Yes 16 inch all around and Kendas all around. BTW I was really impressed with the cornering capabilities. Ryde position is very similar to the F3! That seat may be a bit lower.

I was examining the specs and the Rear on the Rally is 205/55/15? as Opposed to 205/45/16 on the Others. Seems maybe wider- Not a tire specialist? Also who knows about the KYB APG shocks on the Rally vs Sachs on the others? Only the rear shock on the Sachs have any preload adjustment while the KYB has adjustments on ALL and a separate cylinder on the fly adjustment on the rear.
Are KYB that much better for normal on road use?:dontknow:

[Rob Rodriguez]

I'd buy the optional fox shocks for ether the standard or the 900. I just consider them to be a higher quality unit than the KYB......but that'
s just me.

It was different as there was no windshield at all so lots of wind on my chest, I am sure they will have windshield options available. It handles much like a spyder, especially the F3 as it has a low center of gravity. Turns nicely and was just a lot of fun to ryde.

[NonTypicalCPA]

Those ACE engines are very nice power plants! On the dirt and snow side of BRP's lineup, guys are really cranking out the hp on the 900 ace with just a programming change. I'd love to try out a 900 Rally edition if it fits my 6' 2" frame.

[Kratos]

I loooooove the looks of the Ryker. I always told my wife that the front trikes would look great with a model that the wheels stick out further than the body.

This Ryker will be a HIT. And I WILL have it. :clap:

I would love to see the catalogue where you can buy the mods- because I could live fine with the 900 Normal version because I have no off road sites and will never carry a Passenger BUT would want Silver grate under the radiator, The Silver piece on the upper front hatch and the 2 Silver pieces in back of each front wheel like the Rally has??? Can't find the cost of them?

That was shot the day before we got there. The twin was really smooth and pretty torquey. Smooth application of power all the way to speed. The wind got to me at 80. I kept reaching for the "Essie" especially as I was slowing for corners so that would take some getting used too.

It seems that the only negative will be availability and possibly dealer price mark-ups! Can BRP build enough of these during the winter months to meet demand in the spring. I am trying to convince my son to buy one of these as he is looking to trade-up from is Honda 300 to a BMW F series. I am certainly going to try one of these as soon as I can but I suspect it will be only in May or June next year. It's going to be a long winter!

Tell him to just put a deposit down on one, and guarantee that one will have his name on it next Spring...
If he doesn't like it: you'll be happy to "keep it exercised" for him! :thumbup:

[jgmcbride]

What jbim brings up is what interests me - Dealer Mark Up.

$8499.00 - Spyker
352.71 - Sales Tax (Virginia -4.15%)
28.75 - Registration Tags
15.00 - Title
12.00 - State Inspection

8,907.00 - Grand Total

That is the proximate out-the-door price of what I think a unit is out-the-door here in Virginia. I could not get from Can-Am what they put as Destination Charge on this unit.

Some dealers told me they would have an additional fee to put it together. Some others told me "administrative paperwork fee". None would tell me a price out-the door.

Very frustrating. Why can we not expect to know what the price is before go perhaps hundreds pf miles. The only other business that treats its perspective customers this shabbily is the auto industry and even then there are a few, who you can get a price from without any effort.

The first one who gives me a price as close as $8,907.00 as an out-the-door price has my business, and I dare to say, a lot of others.

[Triumphcycleman]

There will definitely be a freight fee, possibly a prep fee from most dealers. I can tell you for certain that the "mark up" is very low (MSRP to dealer cost) so those will likely be added to pay the shipping and to pay to assemble it.

I don't suppose that there will be a lot of wiggle room in Ryker's pricing. Freight pricing will be established by the Mfg in their negotiating with the frt company. The frt charges will be the same all across the US, the set up and/or DOC fee will be a variable.

The pricing profit structure is probably accessory and labor to install dependent.

I suspect that the Ryker program will be a Home Run bigly for both the customer and dealer.

Triumphcycleman sounds like he would be a good dealer to do business with. Sounds like he is hands on rather that the less desirable absentee owner that knows nothing about their product line.

[Triumphcycleman]

I think this will be an MSRP selling bike for sure.
Thanks for the compliment! I am the owner, janitor, plumber, handiman, salesman and sometimes even an additional tech at my shop. We are a BRP only dealer (with BRP since 2001), so I darned sure have no excuse but to be really good and knowledgeable on all of their stuff. And I guess I personally have a soft spot for our Spyder side of the business.

I suspect that the Ryker program will be a Home Run bigly for both the customer and dealer.

Triumphcycleman sounds like he would be a good dealer to do business with. Sounds like he is hands on rather that the less desirable absentee owner that knows nothing about their product line.

I think this will be an MSRP selling bike for sure.
Thanks for the compliment! I am the owner, janitor, plumber, handiman, salesman and sometimes even an additional tech at my shop. We are a BRP only dealer (with BRP since 2001), so I darned sure have no excuse but to be really good and knowledgeable on all of their stuff. And I guess I personally have a soft spot for our Spyder side of the business.

Is this you???

If BRP comes out with a Color in the RT model that I like, I might trade. Till then I am keeping my RTS-SE6.

The Fiche for Parts are up but no description or price yet. If you look at the videos all the accessories are pretty easy to install?
Any word on if the sway bar will be an easy change like the 2008-2012 Models????

The first Ryker reviews

Those just posted reviews hit the nail on the head. I think that the new Ryker will be a Home Run. Living here in the Smokey Mountains of Eastern Tennessee, can not imagine anything that would be more Wind in Your face fun to spend a beautiful day exploring the countless miles of fabulous twisty mountain roads that are every where around here. Apparently a large enough gas tank to ride 150 to 200 miles at a time. I'm thinking a combination of a Go Kart and a Mazda Miata................ And all for around $10K plus or minus.

The best part of it will be that my Wife will be perfectly at home burning Gas and Busting Bugs with it. She loves and is perfectly comfortable with CVT transmission equipped ATV's. The Ryker is a natural.

Heck, we can get two of these for the price of one of my BMW's or HD's............... :thumbup: :thumbup:

[Stogeylink]

Truly sorry about that. Perhaps a lot of F3 and RT prices will drop because of this and diverted interest. Should be some very good deals in the near

future on used F3's and RT's. I would personally prefer a used F3 or RT over a new Stryker.

I'm right there with you. Sorry but this is like upgrading from a Road King to a Sportster. JMO.

That was shot the day before we got there. The twin was really smooth and pretty torquey. Smooth application of power all the way to speed. The wind got to me at 80. I kept reaching for the "Essie" especially as I was slowing for corners so that would take some getting used too.

Wonder if the 600 could burn a little rubber from the stop like SnoCat did in the Pacific Coast video with the 900???:dontknow:
