$10K Spyders for 2019

[bushrat]

I was always quite taken by the saying that ... something was ugly in so many ways that it was POSITIVELY BEAUTIFUL!!!

How can anyone gutsy enough to buck two-wheel tradition and ride something as breath-takingly different as a Spyder or Ryker ever think of themselves or their byke as "ugly"? Courage, mes amis!! C'mon now.

It's ugly, but it would be nice if the RT had a shaft drive and parts of the u-fit system as a standard instead of buying the tri-axis bars as an accessory.

Anyone know what the connotation of the name is?

I'm gonna guess that it's short for R(ally) (b)YKER, or something like that.

Video seemed to show you want to get your fairly mobile on the seat to get it into corners right if you want to get all sporting or rally with it and then there is the question of nanny or no nanny??

Front seems pretty wide when you see it in the video I have seen static measurements yet and they try to underplay that in any on the static presentations. So it seems no nanny and kept upright by width of front suspension, now that seems like a bit of a bad recipe, seems only time and riding will tell.

I dont mind the look of it so much, if you dont like this then you likely never liked the look of any ATV I think, Its never going to be the Mona Lisa its built to a price, but I think its nifty enough and I for one am not a great fan of lines like the Gold-wing, Im a bit more street bike, than cruiser weight and I think this is also maybe a bit of a shot at that market as well as being a stepping stone to cruiser spiders.

All the ugly comments are funny considering all spyders are ugly. All you have to do is open your eyes.

My same thoughts and I own an F3.

How about this possibility?

Models like the F3 and RT have sleek lines and design aspects that look good and make sense. The original GS models..not so much. On the Ryker the top part of the front where it transitions from the lower 'trunk' to the upper area is the worst part of it.
From the sides and the rear it's fine... and I love the rear hub and single lugnuts as well as the swingarm and shaft drive.

I'll demo one at one of the events for giggles, but no way would I want one. This is obviously an 'around town' scooter type of product.

It has the nanny... but no power steering.

With the skinnier front tires: that's most likely never going to be an issue.

Well you can already see the scrambler edition breaking traction so it must have a new mode??

The Rally has 3 modes, ECO, Rally, and Sport.

The Rally has 3 modes, ECO, Rally, and Sport.

The point I was making being that its is a different version of Nanny than has been had before.
