Hi everyone?

Hows everyone weekend going for them....sitting watching the twins game, and watching a very beautiful evening outside. I just joined up here because I am wanting to buy a used Spyder. The year I'm looking at is 2009. My other question is what has everyone's experience been with this machine? I have to admit it really does look most groovy looking. I'm looking at one that's a phantom black color.

take care,

MNBenny

Welcome, my first Spyder was an 08gs , I had it about 2 yrs and put about 6000 miles on it then I traded it
(no problems) for a 2012 RT S with about 3100 miles on it. I can say you will enjoy the Spyder and probably
Go on to newer and bigger Spyders :thumbup:

Thnak you Silverette05,

are all the spyder pretty much they same or are they different? i got a chance to sit on one and start it up, and this perticular spyder had a two borthers muffler on it. Have to say it sounds nice. The color was phantom black limited edition.

Welcome.....a great place to be.

The fist models made were the GS's which later became the RS's. These are the base models and I think the greatest machines. They later came out with the RT's which are touring models with all the side bags and trunk etc. In 2013 they introduced the ST which you can call a mix of both. As for the 09 you are looking at they are good machines. You just need to have the vin# checked at a dealer to see if all the updates have been made. Hope you get a good deal and get out there. Your going to love it...:thumbup::ohyea:

Welcome to the group! My husband had an '08 GS with 51,000+ miles on it and just needed to change his riding postion so he bought an STs, I have a '12 RS with 21,000+ miles. We love our spyders and I would encourage to go ahead and purchase one the '09s have a really good reputation a friend of our had one that he rode very hard (3 engines worth) took to the BIR drag strip every summer and even went out to the salt flats...it was very reliable for him.
When you get your spyder check out our ride dates posted here on the Minnesota forum and join us up at Caswell Cycle in Mora, MN for our monthly rides, we would love to have you join us.

Thank you everyone for your time,

Well I think I may have hit a brick wall without anywhere to turn. I have visited with all the banks to see if I can get a loan, and with my crappy 520 credit score or worse I just don't see it happening. To make things worse I'm just a puny bus driver! :(


take care Everyone & Happy riding! :(
