    Default First impressions

    I posted this on the Ozark Spyderlovers Facebook page; repeating it here:

    I was lucky to ryde a new Ryker 900cc at Bikes, Blues and BBQ in Fayetteville, AR, yesterday [Sep 27, 2018]. Very impressed! Fast, fun, easy to ryde, accelerates like a Tesla...smooth continuous
    burst of power with no gear changes.
    The low price necessitated no tach or hazard flashers (that I could find) and accessories are required for longer rydes...backrest, windshield, storage, GPS, radio, etc.
    But for shorter rydes.. yee haa!! Should be a big hit for BRP and
    a stepping stone into eventual full-size Spyder ownership for some. Spyderpops and Cruzr Joe were there, too. Best features in my
    opinion (besides price of entry) are the fully-adjustable pegs and bars (no tools required) and the
    single-nut wheels! Should be at dealers in Dec/Jan.
    Enjoying now: 2015 Spyder F3 SE6, 1970 Indian MM-5A, 1972 Suzuki RV90J Rover, 2017 Indian Chieftain (wife's)
    Wish-I-had-kept-them: 2008 Spyder GS SE-5, 1967 Shelby GT500 w/Paxton supercharger, 1972 DeTomaso Pantera, 1991, 1992 & 2001 Acura NSX's, 2012 V-Star 950 Tourer, various 2-, 3- and 4-wheelers
    2015 F3 SE6 , White - The fastest color!

    Default Nice review....

    Do wonder what the final price will be if you add all the items you mentioned to make it more your style of ryde...?? Does look like a fun vehicle for the short run round town and day ryde in the country....

    From my pricing out my WIFES new 900 you get to pick basic panels which you are charged for but then they rebate the charge back

    so you get basic color panels free. Shes getting the yellow ones. Again I get the old Bike Bob

    I see you list an F3 in your sig as well as a GS before. Stock to stock, how do the three compare with respect to performance and comfort?
