 Future?
Reading through the comments in this thread is a bit of like trying to discern a crystal ball regarding BRP and Spyder's path forward. If the Ryker is accepted by the young crowd it is geared toward, perhaps the brand will grow as, loyal to the brand, they move up to a more substantial machine at some point in the future. However, if the Ryker comes at the cost of pressure that results in more closed dealerships... it may be a very bad spiral setting itself up. I am fortunate with my location currently, as there are two dealerships very close to me. If they were to disappear, however, I would rethink owning this product ... especially with it being highly technical and requiring dealer equipment/servicing for so many procedures. So... color me cautiously optimistic?

The Normal Spyder at the Non-Discounted Prices of 2019 was NOT selling Big- My dealer was down to ordering only a couple Spyders because they were NOT selling- The Ryker is meant to stir interest in the younger (Jet Ski- Ski-Doo) Crowd because they pay as Much for a Jet-ski or Ski-doo they use One season a Year and the Ryker can be used a Lot More of the year? So NOW we know we have overpaid for Spyders for years and Its all about to change with the Ryker !!! Can't wait for mine to arrive so I can Take the thing apart and put it back together again like my Ole M-16 Rifle!

Touring on a Ryker

My vote would be yes for it being a good bike to tourer on. Mileage would be my question. On the 900cc.

Is it for everyone-NO- I will keep my F3 till i'm sure it meets All my needs and then the F3 will be History and the $$ will go toward Future Elderly expenses?
I bet Half the Rykers are bought by current Spyder owners?

It could be just what you need?
Don't be a stranger: stick around this time!

.It makes the authorities appear to be doing something about road safety.My wife is jumping through the hoops at the moment in anticipation of buying her Ryker and will have learnt to ride the 125 Honda road bike supplied at the course to prove she is worthy.What the hell learning to ride this has to do with jumping on a Ryker is beyond both of us
