This is my very first bike since I had a scooter at 15! Two friends with a BMW and a Yamaha have been after me for years to get a motorcycle. At 69 I wasn't up for going back to the classroom for a motorcycle license, which costs over 2000 Euro here in Bavaria. So they put me on to Can-Am. I was lucky that we have a local dealer (there are very few here in Germany). He had a beautiful pearl white ST LTD sitting there and had just put the price down 3000 Euro on a special deal from Can-Am! I fell in love immediately with the bike/trike, and came back the next day and bought it off the floor. It is now sitting in my garage waiting for 1 March to roll around, as I have a seasonal registration which runs until 31 October. The ST L has it all, and I'm adding some of Pete's PowerSportWraps, a mono rear seat cover, shortee antennae, dash/windschield pouch, nice mesh-metal covers for the intakes, from Lamonster his spider decals and an IPS, and have purchased a beautiful glossy white Schuberth C3 helmet with their SRC Bluetooth system so I can hear my Garmin 660 give me voice directions. Already have the US and Bavarian flags on the helmet and will add them to my ST L too. I going to my first SpyderRidersDay meeting in the Altmuehltal, about a 2-hour drive from home, from 7-8 June and really looking forward to meeting other Spyder riders. Another Bavarian dealer is putting me in contact with a retired Marine who drives an RT too. Off this weekend to the big show in Munich, the IMOT. Hope to see some Can-Am folks there and meet some new friends. I may just buy a helmetCAM so I can record some of my tours around Bavaria and Thuringen. Next year I'm planning a two-week tour of Ireland with my Yamaha buddy. Will share my pic with ya'll down the road!
Best from Bavaria! Rick/Bavarianami
Still not going to purchase a ST Limited.

With heat problems and what I have read about can ams customer service, I don't want any part of dealing with these issues.
I still like the looks of the ST Limited. Especially the one in black. I would really like to purchase this model with the back rest, fog lights and a Two Brothers Carbon Fiber exhaust.
Seems there are many still having problems dealing with the heat issue and other things as well.
What gets me are the stories of BRP's lack of customer satisfaction. I feel for you guy's being treated this way and given the run around.
I just can't see laying down 26K and then rolling the dice hoping you get a good one.
I'll still back off and choose to not take the chance. My hats off to the ones being put through the ordeal you're having to deal with.
And yes I know all spider owners aren't having problems. So don't flame me like before. It's a known fact that many are.
Maybe 2015 models will have all the bugs and kinks worked out. I still want one but many things need to change.
RIDE SAFE.
