    Default About to buy, dealer recommendation

    Greetings all - great forum - been lurking for about 6 months. I am hopefully 3-4 weeks away from purchasing a Spyder. Was looking for recommendations on dealers in the area (central NC). Want a good deal, but certainly willing to spend a little more to support a honest business that stands behind what they sell.

    Thanks in advance for any recommendations you can offer!

    There's a dealer in Henderson that I hear is pretty good. Brewers Motorcycles I believe is the name. Not sure what else is close by Durham.

    Thanks for the feedback - I am about 7-8 miles from Triangle Cycles - didn't love the guy I spoke with originally -- I'll give them another shot!

    Related stores varies from each other and the onsite managemnent set the tone (or flavor).

    If you don't get a good vib from the dealer, don't be afraid to go to another. Make them EARN your business. No small investment you are making there.

    Agree. That would be a fun trip, and if you go with the RtPerformance, you will get one that is setup the way they should be, OR, if you decide to, you can go with the Spyderfest Limited Edition and you will be getting limited edition paint to boot.

    The timing sounds about right. Come to Spyderfest, buy a Spyderfest Limited edition or an RTPerformance from Len at Cowtown and kick off your Spyder ownership with an event you will always remember !

    I feel I got a fair deal from Triangle Cycles. They had difficulty getting my rear suspension issue solved--even with help from BRP. But once BRP authorized replacing the compressor, all is GOOD. We're even going to brave a trip tp Spyderfest. The sales and service people have always been courteous to me.

    sorry for not responding earlier.....real life took me away form the boards for about 6 months or so
    i am back and hope to be able to check in at least once a month (what can i say? i stay a lot busier than i did the beginning of last year)

    yep, my is still treating me well. LOVE it.
    sadly now i want a 2012 in Steel Black.....soooo sexy. AND an RT LE in white. now if only i would win the lottery so i could have a garage AND multiple s ::sigh::

    still happy with he service at Triangle Cycles. the only issue i have had with them was with some aftermarket mods well after my purchase (about 10 months after purchase) and that was just i thought labor was high but i am just a bit of a cheapskate sometimes....i ALWAYS hate to pay for mechanic work whether it be on cars or bikes.

    now if only i could afford the 2Bros dual exhaust in carbon ......mmmmmmm
