Still not sure why, except it's been a ball of fun, bought a Honda ADV160 scooter a while back. Great around town and on lower speed back country roads. Got to do something about the seat tho, after about 40 miles it starts hurting my butt. If i can get that fixed I may just do a Natchez Trace Saddlesore Scooter 1000 next year when there are more hours of daylight.
Yup. Still have two Honda Rebels, (a 250 and a 450) that are actually sold but still in my shop for now. Also have three beemers, a '79 R80S, a '00 R1100S, and my primary ride, a '00 R1200C. The Spyder gets duty when my old hips and knees say so.
Sold the '07 Yamaha Royal star tour deluxe
sold wife '08 Yamaha 650 classic
still have a '83 Honda magna v 65 sitting under the carport. maybe have it restored or just sell it.

I once had a 1984 Magna V65. Back then it was the fastest on the Highway.
I truly love my Spyder, and have not regretted for a moment trading in my magnificent Honda Goldwing for the 3 wheel Spyder. But I found that while I love the ride of the Spyder, sometimes I miss the two wheel experience. I now own a Royal Enfield Hunter 350. It is not nearly as capable, as fast or as comfortable as my RT, but it does let me work the gears and lean into the curves. I think I have the best of both worlds right now. I would guess that I am far from alone in having a 2 wheeler in the garage next to my 3 wheeler.
Yup.
Two Harleys (storing an Iron 1200 for a friend) and a scooter.

@70, I'll give up two wheels someday, but not yet! 2002 BMW r1150GS picking up a 24"x24" 4-blade prop for a boat.
I also have a:
1992 Kawasaki 1000GTR (C10)
1995 Triumph Thunderbird 900
2009 Kawasaki 1400GTR (C14)
2009 Honda DN-01 x 2 (but I'm in the process of selling one of em.)
The best substitute for brains & knowledge is....................silence.
I am adding the 2023 Spyder F3-S to my 2020 Kawasaki Z900. Not giving up on two wheels just yet, but wanted something different, maybe even a daily driver to work. The Z900 is a blast and even with a smaller 950cc Engine produces much more HP and torque the Spyder. The Spyder from my meager 20 mile ride home from the dealer is more "civilized" and tame but smooth and very comfortable.
Don't judge my messy garage.. Besides it's been cleaned to make room for the Spyder. The rebel behind the Z900 is my wife's, soon to be leaving for it's new home with my oldest son who just got his 2 wheel endorsement.
