The only problem I have with my Spyder is that the controls are too high. I really don't enjoy a long ride with my knees up to my face. I have a lot more comfort on my bikes. I'm glad I bought it for my wife as she has no problems with them. Lowered and forward controls would be perfect for this bike.

I got mine on Wednesday, #684 in Silver. I waited 284 days. Well worth the wait. After putting 757 kms on it in 4 days, and hoping to have it to 1000 by Friday...
It snowed here in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, Canada. I tried to ride it in 2 inches of snow. In reverse, the traction control kicks in and stalls it. In forward, it is almost uncontrollable. However, the boys in my shop got a kick out of watching me try.
Improvements needed? Snow tires!!!!!!!! LOL

Improvements:
1) I have the touring windshield but it still doesn't provide much help blocking the wind; need something taller.
2) I can't seem to adjust the rearview mirrors very well, they probably need to be out further from the center.
