Hi all. I'm looking at finally giving up the 2 wheels and going with a Spyder. I've always had Japanese motorcycles (40 years riding) and they have always been ultra reliable and I can do most general maintenance myself. However, when it comes to electrical I'm clueless. I don't want to overspend in case I find myself not liking it, so I am looking at an older model. I would prefer a manual tranny. I have always avoided first year of any new vehicle, but around me area there are a few 2008s. Would I be safe looking at a first year model? I assume most issues would have been sorted out? Or should I up my budget by and look for something say 2010 and on and avoid the first couple years? I should mention my motorcycles have been sporty or upright position. I tried a cruiser style and it hurt my back so I would be looking for a model without feet too far out front. Thanks for any advice.
