The wife and I picked up a brand new 2012 RT-S SE5 yesterday! We've been looking for a Spyder for a while and debated on getting a 2013 ST, but couldn't pass up the deal we got on this one. I must say one thing... I never knew how nice heated grips were! It is heavily overcast today but I took some pics anyway as I did not want to get a lot of replies asking for pics - LOL. Can't wait to do more riding... I think we'll have to take it in for the 600 mile service next week. :)

:congrats: and I agree about the heated grips. I used them yesterday and even though it was cold I didn't need gloves, heated grips are a must have option for me from now on.

:agree: 200%... I was riding last Saturday and although the weather was at around high 50's low 60's, I wore my thick gloves because I knew I was going to hit fast speeds. Using the low setting on the heated grips came in handy pleanty of times that day!:clap:

Oh... and :congrats: on the new rYde!!!

Congrats! I beat myself up over the same dilemma. I decided to go with a 2013, but with some of the deals, it seems like a no-lose situation. Many happy miles!

LOL, yeah. I took almost 9 hours to go 383 miles on non-Interstate roads from Kodak, TN to Centreville, AL. Lots of stops, lots of stretching, 3 fill ups for a total of 11.3 gallons and 1 stop to eat at McDonald's. Even though it was overcast and drizzly at times, I had my full gear on so I was warm and dry and enjoyed the ride.

Very pleased with the dealer, Mountain Motorsports and Travis my salesperson.

My wife and I made the same choice a little over a month ago. I am about to hit 1000 miles and I have enjoyed every single one. Its been a mild winter and I have gotten on it every day since I got it even if was just for a small ride.
Great looking ride btw. Hope you love yours as much as I have loved mine. Take care.

All I can say is "Whoever invented heated hand grips should be be granted Sainthood" My grips were a lifesaver when I ran to Winston-Salem for my 600 mile service on Election Day.
31 degrees when I started, 45 degrees when I arrived at my dealer.

:congrats: From all UK Spyder owners


Please don't think the initial purchase of the Spyder is the end of it

Purchase of the Spyder is only Stage I - Stage 2 to Stage ? = Mods and more Mods :)

You are now a member of the SpyderLovers family - If you are not sure of anything just ask on this website
Many members are to willing to assist in any way the can and this makes ownership of the Spyder so enjoyable

I also joined the Spyder world this weekend purchasing a 2011 RT Limited. I sold my 1999 Goldwing 4 yrs ago after my wife had hip replacement surgery. We both missed riding but she really wanted us to get a trike. After looking at the RT we were both sold. It is a beautiful machine and we're both looking forward to getting back in the saddle again.:yes:

Did you buy from Mountain Motorsports in Kodak? My wife's aunt and uncle live about 3 miles from there and we go to visit every year. This year I am taking the spyder down. Maybe I will see you around.:D

We bought it there but we live in central Alabama, so the odds of seeing us are slim. :)

Now you can help the rest of us answer all of the questions from the general population who have never seen a Spyder before.

No, we bought ours from Alcoa Goodtimes Kawasaki. We went to Mountain Motorsports but we found the better deal at Goodtimes.
