☝️Me too , my GS is not as quick as some sport bikes I’ve owned but I sure wouldn’t want to give any performance while going to a single seater

I agree , I thought the Yoshimura sounded the best for me and I’m glad I got it . I have had a few Spyder owners approach me and ask what it was
Have stored it in paid storage and kept it outside at home. It came back from storage dusty and evidence of mice . At home I built a platform for my lawn tractor and Spyder and cover both , keeping...
These are nice to watch as our Ryding season comes to a close here in the great white north 🙂
Next investment ( Other than a newer Spyder) will be some of this 360 ..... great vid , but you had me at Angus’ opening riffs 👍
Clean looking Ryde , always liked that colour .... Hindle pipes sound pretty good too . I added a Yoshimura pipe , taller windshield and Givi bags to my GS and it’s been a great machine . Like you I...
Im just thinking next spring trading my GS in and moving to 3 cylinders I may see a little less demand from people looking for a first Spyder ... see what happens I guess :dontknow:
Wondered if anyone had any thoughts on what a new Spyder for around $10,000 will do to affect the selling price of older machines around that price ?
UOTE=BajaRon;1383920]One thing that I think is a beneficial byproduct of properly bedding in the brake pads is that most people have never performed a panic stop on their Spyder. Which is basically...
The passenger needs to be aware of what’s coming up at all times just like the driver , same as for 2 wheels .... and yes hang on 👍
I have a 2008 GS Premier Edition with a Yoshimura pipe , K&N Filter . It is louder than stock for sure but it also has more power especially at lower Rpms . When I buy my next Spyder it will be the...
We certainly are getting decent weather this year here in the Great white North . Gonna try to fit in a Ryde to Bracebridge this weekend.
Spyders do take a few rides to get used to but it sounds like you both were hanging on for dear life instead of Ryding it ? It should have got better after a few hours of driving though . Just...
I have been a few times ( My Brother lives near downtown Dover) can’t make it this year though . There will be a few hundred thousand people and bikes this year , so don’t be in a hurry to see or do...
You already have a good feeling about your Spyder ... and it will only get better
Always amazes me on here how some people who do their own work tend to criticize those who don’t want to , or don’t trust anyone to work on their bikes no matter what their training is ? I started...
I went to the closest dealership to me initially to check out Spyders ( 99% sure to buy one ) I stopped in on my way home from work after doing some carpentry and had dust on my clothes etc ... I...
Right now mostly 2 ... the odd 3 , the work commute only a couple times a year if we have a meeting at the office etc
Beautiful machine , with that colour now I’m really leaning toward the F3 ... let us know as you go how it works 👍

$1200 for my 2008 GS , also have my 2011 Dodge Ram with The Commonwell Insurance ( used to be Farmers ) through my agent in Whitby , that’s with certificate from Spyder course from Georgian in Barrie...
Or I should say the ride home from the dealership, thought I made a big mistake . Rush hour in Toronto ( which is actually about 4 hours);didn’t like my Ryde Home but went out on some clear county...
I’ve dealt with Snow City Cycle in Toronto for a few years now , they are ok by me for service and Hans ( who sold me my Spyder ) was good to deal with . Good advice from the folks on here about test...
A test drive or two at the dealership will help , but with the Spyder you will find most people on here needed a little time to get used to the “ feel “ of it . They are a bit different than two...
Just took my battery to the dealership where it is stored , pick up in 2 weeks 👍
I ended up with severe balance problems when I was 39 ( inner ear) and lost normal balance for life . Although I have regained my ability to walk, work etc driving a 2 wheeled bike anymore was pretty...
Not sure if I just missed it but did you call the course provider to see what their stable consists of ? When I took the Spyder course in Barrie here in Ontario , all the trainers were RS or RSS...
Not much snow here east of Toronto... but a few days of high winds that sent my shed airborne into the neighbors yard 🙁.
24,000 km ( 20,000 by me) , only changed the oil when needed , replaced the O2 sensor and one valve cover gasket that was seeping a little bit
Well Bob .... the sacrifice is worth it for such a cool plate 😉
