    Default Can anyone recommend a Central FL - Orlando area dealer?

    I just have become interested in the Spyder and was wondering if any fellow member can recommend a dealer in the Orlando area that they have had great dealings with before and after the sale for service. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I'll give a second to West Coast Powersports. Great service department and a nice waiting room, with AC if you are going to hang around and wait.

    Central Florida Powersports in Kissimmee. Very pro Spyderlovers. I traveled over 150 miles to buy from them. Good sales and service.

    That's where I was yesterday getting my 1st hand look and education on the Spyder. Seemed like good folks.

    I would agree with Central Florida Powersports. I traveled 500 miles to purchase from them and then 500 miles back home.

    This is good info. We are moving to FL in May south of Tampa and was wondering about the same thing. Looks like West Coast PowerSports will be my best choice. Thanks.

    Really looking forward to all year riding. We won't need to put our Spyder into winter hibernation anymore.

    I'm just now seeing this thread. I recommend Seminole Power Sports in Sanford, Florida. They have been nothing short of excellent to me. I give them an A + rating.

    I haven't made it up there, yet to check them out as I am in South Orlando near Universal Studios. CFPS in Kissimmee or Seminole will be the choices when I buy but it will depend on who has the best Service techs because as I read up on more and more here, the Service dept plays a big part in owning one of these.

    Hi, this will be my first post, but I wanted to add my thoughts. I purchased my RT in Dec from WestCoast PowerSports. Hey, I would be very happy with any service they offer, but I live south of Tampa also which is over one hour to Clearwater, so if i needed service it would be a long drive. I tried Barney's of Brandon, Fla, which is twenty mins away from me. I'm very happy with service and service tech. I got my 600 miles service tune up from them and they found my MULTI-FUNCTION GAUGE CLUSTER took to long to shut down and replaced it as a warrant item. I would highly recommend Barney's since they are so much closer.

    Smart move. Ask for either Greg or Jason. Tell them Chris Ray recommended.

    Default Barney's has our vote

    We bought from Kissemee but had numerous service problems. When we bought the bike they over filled the oil and we had a heck of a time just riding it home. Called them and brought it back and they sort of gave us a hard time about the oil level. The too high oil level caused the RT to stall repeatedly and they blamed us until they looked at the oil levels. Bad predelivery set up. Had a CB problem and they just handled it very poorly. Every time we had them service the bike it had missing bolts or push pins. Look for a Gold or Platimun dealer. Those dealers get a better warranty labor rates from BRP as well better reimbursement for warranty parts. When I spoke to BRP about my problems, they said to find another dealer. That tells me a lot about the service issues. Your experience may be different but after 3 times and each a problem, never again!

    Central Florida Powersports in Kissimmee sells more Spyders than anyone else in the nation. West Coast Powersports has the best Service Dept I've found anywhere and as far as best prices on a Spyder, if you don't mind traveling, Big One Powersports, Birmingham AL, gave me the best price I could find on a Spyder anywhere nationwide. That was in 2010 but saving thousands made great sense/cents to me and the Motorcycle Museum there made for a nice layover!

    You might also want to try Route 1 Motorsports on U.S. 1 just south of Palm Bay on the space coast. That's where I have my service work done.

    Talking A survey ? "Can anyone recommend a Central FL - Orlando area dealer?"

    Just a thought. It might prove interesting, informative, and 'put the squeeze' for better quality from the dealers in the area, if there were some sort survey that could be compiled, as to the likes and dislikes of the various dealers. I don't know how it could be set up, but from a dealer point of view, I site like this, (which the dealers monitor) would definitely be an eye catcher and perhaps they might perform accordingly
