will someone put up some positive stories about the spyder

[vondalyn]

A few weeks ago I went for a ride with my husband and some "new" folks. A friend of my husband's and some friends of the friends. It was a mixed bag. 2 cruisers and 2 sport bikes and me on my Spyder. We met up in a parking lot where some other friends of the friends noticed them and stopped by to chat before we left. Everyone came over to talk about the Spyder. I don't think anyone had seen one up close before and everyone was curious. We geared up and pulled out and then had to wait to make a left onto a very busy street. Then we drove along the foothills to our lunch stop which was popular with the HD crowd. I parked on the end of a long line of motorcycles and we sat out on the patio and had lunch. I'm used to the "rock star" thing and hardly even notice it anymore. My back was to the parking lot. Suddenly one of the guys turns to me and says, "Man! That thing sure gets a lot of attention. Everyone whose walked past it has stopped to look at it and those people just stopped to take a picture!"

Too funny.

We bought our Spyder the 9th of April in 2008 and have had so many great rides on it over the past 6 years. We turned over the 100,000 mile mark earlier this year and since then have added another 7,000 miles. Our biggest regret is that we live in Cental NY and can't ride for about 3 to 4 months every year mainly because of all the salt applied to the roads around here. We have really had great luck with the Spyder with no major problems, have had a few smaller incidents and some that had nothing to do with the Spyder itself. This bike has become part of our family and we are hoping to ride it for several more thousands of miles (my wife says we are going for the 200,000 mile mark....who knows?).

We have been to many, many of the Spyder related events like SITS, SITA, some the BRP sponsored events like the homecoming at the factory in Valcourt and the Chicago event, and of course Spyderfest in Mo. for 2 years, and last year Spyderfest in Lake George, NY. We have many many dear friends because of the Spyder and only wish we could see more of them more often.

All in all BRP has changed our lives through the Spyder. It truly is a really great machine and is, I believe, one of the best bikes on the market today!

Andy; I love your two tone, is it paint or vinyl?

Its vinyl, put on by a professional, I bought a black one for an unbelievable price, but a black bike is hard to notice, so I spent some $$ making it more noticeable and hope I dont get hit.

[Kraut]

this doomsday stuff is wearing me out..

what modifications did you make to deal with it

My 2012 has less than 100 miles on it...due to no time to ride..

I work 24 / 7

It is for sale as is my Royal Enfield and my basket case K75..

I would like to experience this machine..

i'm sorry you haven't been able to enjoy this truly unique machine. My wife and I have a 2010 orbital blue (love that color) RT A&C SE5 with 24000 miles. I ride Skoot3r daily and have never tired of the ride. We have no desire to get rid of our RT simply because it's old and obsolete-it meet all our needs and gives us no problems. It's also gratifying to read that other riders feel the same.

I bought my first spyder on Sept. 19, 2012( RTS-SE5 Quantum Metallic Blue) I put on 2,988 miles, had it for 2 years, had a blast with it, went to Spyderfest in Springfield, Mo in 2013 + 2014, also went to Spyderquest, in Lake George, New York ( Sept. 2013)................

then I took a demo ride on a 2014RT-SE6 in Springfield, Mo. and I was thinking to my self I got to have a 2014RT-SE6 In Cognac. So on July 30, 2014, I traded the 2012RTS-SE5 in and bought a ............................................2014RT S-SE6 Cognac. I have been to New Hampshire, ( several times) Spyderquest, Lake George and I have 2,900 miles on it, ( the week-end that I bought it I put on 400 miles,bought it @ Walt's Sales & Service in Derby, Vermont). The 2014RTS-SE6 is trouble free.

I really love it, I can not wait until Spring to put more miles on it. ( my is in winter hibernation ) I have done a Farkle on it this past summer, you can see the farkle on this site " in my photo album" and in the " Riding Groups" Vermont Spyder Ryder's, NY Spyder Ryder's, New England Spyder Ryder's. I am not turning back, and I am a happy owner. It a conversation piece, where ever I go, people stop and ask questions. Deanna

I bought my Spyder in July of 2014. It has been trouble free and a real pleasure to operate. My dealer, Mountain Motorsports of Marietta, GA, has been excellent. It replaced an over complicated, troublesome BMW GS and the miserable service that the dealer provided. Recently, I bought a Honda Valkyrie that I enjoy for brief runs around the neighborhood. For any trips over an hour, I will use the Spyder. It is safe to say that after decades of riding motorcycles, I have never been more pleased with a bike than I am with the Spyder.

It seems to me that given the complexity of the Spyder, that a competent dealer is the most important element of a successful ownership experience.
