    When buying a used vehicle I always change or have the oil changed. I have a technician or mechanic go over the vehicle and provide me with a report. As far as the crash, I was involved in a minor crash several years ago, the frunk hood and frunk itself had to be changed and the cost was somewhere in the 3500 area. If you can get a detailed report from the dealer it may only be cosmetic as mine was. Good Luck.

    Those tyres show wonky wear and they're defo on backwards. The seller may well be honest, but if it were me I'd walk away. There will be others.

The guy may have had the work done elsewhere as that is all they show. I am pretty sure that would be a deal breaker - RIGHT? I so wanted this Spyder. I would sure like to hear all your thoughts on this. PLEASE REPLY TODAY. I was going to take it for a test ride later today.
    The seller is taking it in to be inspected on Saturday and getting a report. I will make my decision after seeing if it has a clean bill of health. I really don't want to walk away if everything is certified as good. The seller did ride it home to Claremont, CA from Colorado Springs and he has put on over 6,000 miles since last November so if something wasn't right, I would think he would have known it. I am keeping my fingers crossed. In the meantime, I am continuing to keep my options open and looking into other possibilities. I am a retired paralegal - I do my research.

    Sorry, but I'd still walk.

    Unbelievable - yesterday I started looking at some of the great deals the dealerships have right now and one of them offered a trade-in on my F3 $4,000 more than any other dealer. So we made a deal on a beautiful 2018 champagne colored RT at 5 pm and I immediately cancelled the inspection on the bike I had been interested in. I rode my F3 to Escondido this morning and rode home on my new Spyder. Again, thanks everyone for your comments and help. I appreciate you all!

    IMG_1592.jpg Better photos showing color is slightly gold and I actually didn't pick the color. This was the one they were offering huge rebates and discounts.

    Well done, congrats on your new ride! Good colour provided no one tells you its beige! Oops, did I say that...

    Just joking, it is a good colour.

    I second the congratulations!!! I also think you made a very wise choice of color; would have selected it myself were I purchasing an '18.

    No beige for me! LOL!!! While riding home, with the sun hitting it, the color is more goldish. Still not my favorite but definitely not beige. However if it had chocolate brown seats, that could really be a nice look. I am happy as I think this bike I will have a lot more confidence in. Now if the temperature will just go down here in So. Cal so I can get some miles on it.

    SpyderLady, congrats. I've been to the cycle center years ago when I lived in SD. Now I only visit son in Poway. The only reason I knew about the RT you were looking at is I am still looking for one myself. Currently riding a star 1300 Deluxe, but wanting to wean myself off 2 wheels. I have my eye on a 2012 RT sm5 in the Victorville area. Safe riding not only to you, but to all.

    I agree X's 5 …… My first Gold Wing was that color …. I even found a Spray paint to match, so I painted two helmets with it …. Mike

    Thanks. I am still looking at putting a few graphics on it to make it pop. Sure don't want anyone thinking it is even close to beige since I am not a beige sort of person.

    Good luck Bob. I figured out on a road trip two years ago on my Harley that pulling in the clutch and brake with my arthritis that it was no longer fun to ride (after 30 years of riding a 2-wheeler). When I got home I immediately put it up for sale. By the way, I bought my F3 at Proshop Motorsports in Henderson out your way. You might check there also.

    Nothing quite like that "Golden Glow" in the afternoon sun. Congratulations on finding a Spyder that suits you. Many happy smiles. BTW on the chocolate brown seat check out an auto upholsterer near you, they can fix that.

    Happy TRAils/NSD

    Thanks for the insight. I'm 69 and have had arthritis for years. Now almost every joint. Anyway, great looking ride. I did stop by Proshop about a month ago to look at a high mileage RT, but they only had a couple new ones and the used we sitting outside in the blistering sun. NO GOOD to sit in 110+ sun. Again great ride.
