Isn't that really TWO very different questions: How accurate is the computer? And how accurate is the fuel gauge? In every vehicle I have had, the computer is dead-on accurate, but the gauge is only...

Thank you for the rapid response.

When did the Ryker go into production?

The most important part of your post is that there was a HD dealer nearby. Nowadays, most Japanese brands have dealers reasonably well spread out across the US. Just about any powersports dealer can,...

Thank you for the link, but a "Find a Dealer" feature is not quite what I'm seeking. I want either a map with dots all over it where each dealership is located, or a list of states and cities and...

Another newbie question: Where can I find a list/map of the Spyder dealer network?

Another newb question (hope you folks don't get tired of me and my questions):

Watched a YouTube video of a Ryker road test. The rider mentioned the "negative camber" and "positive camber" of the...

Thx. That is one thing I wondered about and had not asked yet: drive belt v. driveshaft. So Ryker has one and Spyder does not. Good to know. Now, next issue: why does Ryker sit lower than Spyder?...

I don't care much about being politically correct either, but I do like the term "roadster." I think I will use that going forward, unless someone comes up with something better. Thx.

Thx. Using the same term, motorcycle, for both 2-wheelers and 3-wheelers feels to me a tad confusing. I will likely, in my own posts, try to differentiate between the two machines. Don't want to...

Yeah, that's my question too: Why?

Thx again. I've never been interested in "real" off-roading, but the occasional dirt/gravel road is sometimes fun. Sounds more and more like the Ryker is going to be the machine for me.

BTW, is...

Thanks guys/gals. All this is great info. You have suggested a couple of things I had not thought about: off-road v. paved roads and gas tank size.

I don't believe either issue is a show-stopper...

Thx for all the replies. Keep 'em coming. More direct feedback from owners/riders is always worth more than reading websites.

I do intend to ride over to Reno's in KC this week or next and get a...

I don't own a Spyder … yet. I am a long-time two-wheeler having ridden/toured for years. Ten years or so ago I decided that when I was uncomfortable on two wheels I would move to a three-wheeler, and...

Is there a fee for a day visitor? I'm not a Spyder owner (but might be some day) but would like to see the vehicles and talk with the owners (that's sorta how I make my motorcycle-purchasing...

It was the salesman (don't recall his name) at Reno's on Holmes Road in SE Kansas City area that told me this. He further said that, while I had to have an "M" endorsement on my driver's license to...

Missouri dealer told me that an owner has the option of registering a Spyder as either a motorcycle or as a car. Is that true? If yes, is it only in MIssouri? Which other states might it also be...

Thx for the link, Vosshog. I've been poking around the website looking for the manual but with no luck. This does answer my questions. Looks to be a pretty good operator manual, too.

OK folks, I'm back with more questions. I visited yestereday with Bob Metcalf, Spyder owner here in the region. Great guy and a nice looking Spyder. This morning my interest is Spyder maintenance.
...

Great answer, folks. The VSS sounds like a practical safety feature; I like it. But, regarding the VSS--what happens next? Let's say the rider loses traction in a front wheel (lifts it off the...

Thx to all who replied for the info, and the warm welcome to the forum.

I now have one additional question based on Scotty's message above: What is this "nanny" y'all are talking about?

Hello to the forum: I'm a Spyder admirer but not an owner--yet. Had my first test ride last week and loved it. It is on the short list to replace my motorcycle in a year or two. Therefore, I'm...
