    Default I'm a big guy. Needing some advice for possibly Purchasing a Spyder

    I am 6'1 and I weigh 435 and my wife is 6' and weighs about 250. Is there anyway or a version of a Spyder we could buy due to our size and weight?

    Sorry, but you'd be overloading every model according to BRP specs.

    Dam good question. I would also be thinking about seat capacity it may not be large enough. Gonna be a tight fit. Try several models for a good fit. Hope you find one that works. There are other big people on this site, hope they chime in.

    with #2 & #3..... No Spyder made can accommodate the weight you stated....... The weight limit for my 14 RT is 494 lbs. total for driver, passenger, and any cargo. ..... Mike

    1) Experience is something you don't get until after you need it.
    2) A closed mouth gathers no foot.
    3) IF YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO DO IT RIGHT, WHEN WILL YOU HAVE TIME TO DO IT OVER??

    Horsepower is an illusory mathematical equation; Torque is REAL, and is the source of all good things in the world.

    The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem. Do you understand?

    A Slingshot is out of the question too.

    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    Another card on the pile for two Spyders. Spouse and I road double for one year....at the time both 250ish. It was way too cozy sitting together on one Spyder. My back would start hurting after about 50 miles.

    Bought Linda her own and problem solved. Hope this situation is possible for you both.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.
