Soon to be newbie.

Hello everyone,
I been looking at the spyder now since March. Up till August, I have had mostly sportbikes. 750 katana, zx1100, 78 Goldwing, and lastly fzr600. Unfortunately in Aug I was hit by a ranger pickup on my way home from work. Bike was totaled, fractured a bone in my knee and tore a tendon in my shoulder (all on the right side). Nice patch of road rash on my shoulder, and swollen rotator cuff. All healing nicely..
This has pushed me even more to the Spyder. I been sneaking through the forum and other forums to gather more info. I have to say this forum is alive, I've been on some dead ones, lol..

So Im looking at a 2012 RS-S sm5, but Im going to hold off till I see what the 13's bring..

What ever I get I will post pics, and probably asking questions...

Welcome aboard, Smitty!
I'm sorry to hear about your encounter with a pickup truck last month; it certainly gives one good reasons to rethink certain strategies...
Anyway; Have fun shopping for your new pride and joy!

[Smitty310]

after sunday we'll find out if you were the smart one and i was the dumb one!i started looking in march and bought the 2012 rss sm5 in the can am red. i have over 6000 miles on it already. the way i look at it, i might be sorry when i see what you get with the 2013 rss, but, i got to put on 6000 miles this summer instead of waiting. that's the next question. who's the winner here? good luck with the spyder when you get it. you're gonna love it.
