    Default Thinking Spyder this Spring

    Hi y'all,

    I have been reading Spyderlovers forum for a couple of years and now thinking seriously about joining you folks in a new adventure. Have been on two wheels for over 50+ years and with not having the strength I once had the Harley and Goldwing are getting harder to ride. Looking for suggestions on Dealers around the State. I live in Central Washington and Dealers a few and far between. Who deals and who takes care of their customers best?
    Would appreciate some feedback.
    Thanks,

    If you get something with the 1330 Ace engine and have even a small amount of mechanical skills you won't need any kind of Dealer. This is as close to a modern day car as Motorcycles come ......un-like the 998 series Spyders........................There are still some great deals on 2014 RT leftovers .................But don't wait too long.....Mike

    Default LIFESTYLES HANDS DOWN

    I have bought 2 spyders from Lifestyles Honda in Mount Vernon they have a great sales staff and an even better service department
    Mark the head mechanic is a Platinum certified master mechanic for Sea-Doo, Ski-Doo and Can-Am Spyder.
    they have always gave me a good deal of course I always take my Wife cause she can bargain like non other.
    They have two F3's in stock and they are going to be doing a BBQ and demo day real soon (hoping for a nice day)
    they are trying to work a deal with BRP to get people the extra 2 year warranty on the F3 since they Just received the first shipment last week and there has been no way for anyone to demo ryde one.
    Lifestyles came to the ranch restaurant and bought about 30 or so Spyder Ryders breakfast we were all headed for the Oyster run in Anacortes. they are also a Spyder Lovers site sponsor go to there site and you can sign up for their news letter so they can keep you posted for the BBQ and Demo day

    Although they may not be in be Washington, you should check out Louis Powersports, Greenville Texas. Check them on-line, search this web site for customer testimonials and give them a call. I bought my 2014 RTL from a few months ago and got a heck of a deal (23,499 & 4yr warranty). The entire sale and delivery was coordinated over the phone. My sales rep was David and their parts guy (Jason) was helpful and patient to work with too. Awesome experience.

    I also got my spyder from pro caliber in September and felt like I got a good deal. Haven't had any work done yet but have heard good things about their shop A fellow rider from my group just bought a used spyder from them and is very happy with it.

    There are 3 dealers in the Spokane area. Westside Honda (westside of Spokane), Powersports (Valley across freeway from cough cough Harley dealer) and Specialty in Couer d' Alene (whom I take my bike to). All within 25 miles of each other. Had good experience at Powersports and Specialty.

    Default dealers

    I bought mine from I90 in Issaquah, they had good pricing on a new 2012 RT-S with a 4 yr warranty. I think there is now a dealer in Moses Lake you might want to check out

    Hi, Ken I met you at Lifestyles yesterday and it was a pleasure. Hope you had a good time test driving that new RT, Yes the Spyder is a little different than two wheels so there is a small learning curve and then you will be just blown away with how much fun they are!! so did you treat yourself to a new RT or are you still thinking about it?

    good luck on your Spyder hunt

    Default Bought the RT-S

    Nice meeting you and your wife yesterday and Lifestyle. Wish I could have talked you to you longer. Ended up buying the White Spyder and they will deliver it to me the first week in March, then the 10th will get this knee taken care of and have a big incentive to be on the road again.
