After owning one, are you guys still hype with it, compared to before you owned it?

Sue and I still enjoy riding when ever we can. 66,000 miles and counting.

Having owned one now going on almost 2 years, I've put about 4-5K miles on it. I bought it because I was still new to riding and a bit nervous after being off a bike for 30+ years. I tell everyone that asks me about it that it feels like you are riding a bike, but its more like driving a car. It's great for 2 up riding, my wife wont ride on the back of anything else. But the gas mileage sucks, it's hot as hell in the summer and it doesnt really feel the same as 2 wheels. And I said that when my other ride was a Honda Silverwing, a 600cc maxi scoot.

Recently I picked up a replacement for the scoot, a BMW RT1200. This bike cruises effortlessly, handles like a sport bike and has tons of storage with the side bags and top case. And it gets about 50mpg. This is the one that puts a smile on my face. But I'll keep the Spyder for the 2up riding and will probably use it more in the Winter when the heat is a help. Of course the BMW also has heated grips as well as seats, so it's probably just as good when the temps go down.

I don't have as much experience with a Spyder as others (only 5000 miles in the past year), but I've come to the conclusion that I'm completely obsessed about this Spyder and three wheelers in general. There hasn't been a single ride that I didn't learn something about this machine as well as myself as a ryder. When I started riding with the friends with this Spyder (they're all on 2-wheel HDs) they saw it as a beginner's motorcycle. Lately, I've seen it in their eyes that they're understanding that you can do things on this Spyder that you simply cannot or would not do on a bike or even a conventional trike (two wheels back, one front).

I can't say I'm completely sold on BRP or Can-Am but I am completely sold on the style of riding the Spyder brings. If not another Spyder, I'm pretty sure my next purchase will remain with a reverse trike (two wheels front, one back). If Honda does come out with it's NeoWing in 2020...I think it will pretty cement the deal that what BRP started with the Spyder will remain with us for a very long time as other manufacturers get on board.

Been riding motorcycles since I was 16. This is my first trike and I really do like it. That said, it is a very different experience than 2 wheels. Not a bad experience, just different. I am hooked, although it takes some time to get use to it. I have only had it for about a week but I can see many more years to come of 3 wheeled fun.
