Yeah another looking to buy so be kind.
Im a former spyder owner..had nothing but issues with it...sold it.
Now Im looking into purchasing a ryker...I will be city driving and backroads driving...
Havent decided on the 600cc or 900cc..
Any one here have any input on this?
I never considered the 600, the 900 suspension seemed too soft, so I purchased the Rally which has the upgraded Adjustable KYB suspension. For the extras you get the Rally is well worth the extra money over the Base 900.
If you're going to be riding with a passenger often then you might want the 900 just for the extra pulling power.Quote:

Test ride...then decide.
My 600 has all the power I need - single ryder - runs great - could not be happier!
My 600 has all the power I need and I feel the suspension is ok for a stock setup. I don't ride 2up and never plan to for what I paid I am very satisified with it. frank
I rode a 2012 RT over 25k miles and then traded it in 2015 for an offroad UTV.
Recently I decided to revisit the Spyder excitement and bought a new Ryker Rally from Pitbull Powersports in Mo.
I have to say one thing to old Spyder riders.... You need one of these!
someone said its like a GoKart with handlebars, and yes it is ! I am 77 yrs old but feel 25 when I ride my Ryker!
Test Drive mandatory if you had a Spyder!!!! While fun to drive its Noisier and the seat Is Not equal to a RS or Rt or F3- Test drive?Quote:

My experience (and i have driven all three at least 600 miles each) is that the 900 and the Rallye have a smoother ride and better performance (bigger engine) but the 600 did fine as a one up around town and backroads and even some moderate highway riding (topped out at 86 MPH).

My dealer here in Arkansas and Texarkana Texas will sell the Ryker for the advertised price ($8,499.00 - $9,999.00 - $10,999.00) with no add ons except $125.00 for paperwork and we have several in stock.

Hi strictyred I had aSpyder rs and never had any trouble , it was 10yrs old . When Ryker came out we thought it time to change our Riker is 900 not rally didn't want that one . We have BRP windscreen / comfort R/P seats / front grill front accent panel . The only thing you might miss is power steering I don't it's lighter and goes like stink even 2 up WE LOVE IT

Thanks everyone , I am a proud owner of a 900 ryker,, does anyone have an excellent picture of their bike? I want to get some wrap on it like my old spyder(see pic on my profile) but the only pic I have is stupid brochures pic
CURIOUS: can you explain a STUPID BROCHURE PICTURE??Quote:
