Newbie in México with 2014 RT-Limited saying HI....

[autoexacto]

Hi, my name is Eddy aka AutoExacto and I am about to get (next week) my FIRST Spyder being a 2014 RT-Limited . I live in central México in the city of León, province of Guanajuato and love to ride bikes and visit towns all over (big and small). I have a BMW RNineT or R9T and a 2014 BMW R1200RT-LC BUT this one has been recalled for a mayor problem on the suspension and estimating for 4 to 5 months unable to ride it SO one of the compensations or options from BMW during this situation is to return the bike for full refund which that is my plan. Is a very nice bike BUT BMW has NOT been the best in this whole process (that is another story).

Now, to the important issues, never drove a Spyder so what are your recommendations or what should I know or do? Anyone in México by anychance or a forum in México? I´ve seen

Hope I get great feedback and looking forward to hearing from all of you!

Greetings from Tequila Country!

what the other guy said about geting used to the spyder is true but ive owend 55 motorcycles and two spyders a 2010 rs,and a 2013 rt it took me 600 miles befor i could go over 40mph so seems like if you are a long time rider it takes longer to get how the spyder flys.very light on the bars is the bigst thing to do,spyders have quick stearing something like a mg car i had onece,took time for that to get me happy driving also.so have fun and dont get discureged if you tak moore time geting happy with your new ride.

Muchas gracias for your tips and advise. Now for you what were the biggest issues, as you already read I ride bikes and needless to say will not counter steer as we do in motorcyles. Read also to lean towards the handlebar that we are steering, right in right, left in left side....I will certainly not get discouraged, it will be a challenge now the interesting situation here is that will have to pick up the spyder out of town, about 2.5 hours from home so NEEDLESS TO SAY it will be an interesting return home, WHICH I am really looking forward. Thanks and best regards.....

Welcome! My advice for you is to leave the Tequila in the bottle before you ride. Enjoy.

[dtkennney]

Previous advice is sound. It took me about 800 miles to get used to corners. After that smooth sailing.

As long as we have riders from our southern neighbor here-- how is the Spyder dealer network in Mexico?

I've debated touring through Mexico, maybe even into parts of Central America, but I admit that I fear taking my Spyder that far outside of a dealer network. A bike you can fix anywhere on the planet; a Spyder, not so much.

Dealer network may be an issue there. may be a bit too delicate for no dealer network support.

Hi daveninva, I will check it for you, I do know that at least on major cities there are CAN-AM - BRP dealers. Example, I live in the center of México, I know that there are dealers locally in my town (León, State of Guanajuato) and 2 hours in each direction there are other dealers. I am purchasing mine out of town bc the one 2.5 hours from here provided me better financing options. I am sure that in México and going through the major cities you would not have a problem BUT once you cross the south border into central america I can doubt it how much support you would have. I am quite familiar with regular motorcycle options and the Y experience is NEW but needless to say I will find out and let you all know. At least you can count on my place ¨mi casa es su casa¨. Best regards!
