I love my bumblebee spyder. I've rode two wheels all my life until a health problem ( alpha 1 deficiency syndrome ) took out my lungs and I wasn't sure I'd ride again, I got the spyder for the extra storage for oxygen. And fell in love with it. I've never had any problems with it. It's very well kept other than doing normal maintenance. Had one light come on once but it was past due for plug wires so that was my fault as I see it. Oh one other time I started it and it went into limp mode I pulled over took the key out and said come on baby and started it and it never happened again. Sure it's a 09 and yes I've rode other years other models but she's my baby and I know it's just me but not one I've been on compares to her. For me I'd never go back to two wheels. God bless our spyders and all that ride them. Those that say you can't buy happiness haven't bought a spyder yet

I'm not sure how to communicate how much I love my Spyder. I guess the 16,000 miles I've put on it the last 14 months says enough. Should have bought one when the 2008's came out. Don't know why I waited so long.

I've had mine for almost five years now and have never regretted it. Neither has my wife! Hopefully my broken/dislocated ankle will be healed enough in another month and a half or so so I can start riding again!

2nd Spyder
I too love my Spyder, wife likes it better than two wheels cause she does not have to worry about leaning. I am on my second one, first was 2008 Premier Edition GS I took the plunge when they first came out without looking and have not looked back. My second one is the F3-T SE6. On my 6th season now. I too get big grins, thumbs up and little kids running and pointing, (big kids too). FUN all around I am finally selling my Valkerie and sticking to 3 wheels.

Ditto and Kudos
I started one of these, love my Spyder posts a few months ago for the same reason. I have the 2013 Percent TL, you know. The one that catches fire, blows up, is impossible to ride from the heat!
Well, sure that vent gets hot, mine ran cooler than two HDs and one Honda is a recent parade, knock on wood there have not been any problems other than a sticky front lines d, a slow dealer and a lack of responsive Spyder owners to group Ryde.
imy biggest challenge is its distraction from other things, I cannot stay off the blasted machine. I built a "Spyder Hole" for it, the largest garage I ever owned, Spyder, SUV, workshop and cabinetry all in one place.
This thing changed my life.
Worried about breakdowns, hah, I worry more about a flat tyre than anything else.
i just need to find more owners to Ryde with, the two wheelers get mad when we stop and the park with reverse gear, LOL.

Trouble free
I LOVE my Spyder!!!
1 year old next week, 15,900 trouble free miles. No DSS, no heat issues, slight belt vibration over 80-85MPH, which I don't do real often, steady in the wind, great in the rain, no feet down when stopped, never worry about the kick stand sinking in the hot blacktop when parked, can stop on an tapered shoulder and take pics without trying to get the right position so I don't tip over, rear tire cost about 1/3rd of what the Venture tire did to replace, and way to many other things that are right!
I have not been easy on it, of those 15,900 miles, almost 10,000 of the were towing a camper trailer with the bike fully loaded two up.
Over 100 degrees in Utah fully loaded with trailer and two up in 5th gear full throttle to maintain speed on a seven mile long grade and the trmp gauge never went over the half way mark.
Towing the trailer we averaged between 32 and 38 MPG, and without the trailer we hit a little over 40MPG.
I feel for those who have problems with theirs, but all I can say about my 2015 RTL is WHAT A MACHINE!
I just need to find more time to ride.

Love from Akron, OH Too!!
We love our RT-S too! Its almost 1 year old (next week) We bought it on a whim-just stopped on our bike to look and maybe test drive a spyder. Next thing we were sitting down to deal. The only problem we have is not enough riding time. As soon as this pesky work thing is out of the way, we will be riding all the time; thanks to all the spyder travelers on this site, I have plenty of places I want to visit.
As I type, my husband is home putting ground effects lighting on our spyder. Our first farkle!!
Thanks for all the good advice from everyone on here.

I don't treat my Spyder well. It gets ridden in all weathers and goes weeks without being cleaned. Hangs around for a month or more without being ridden because I'm too busy with work - then suddenly taken off on an endurance rally where its ridden 18 hours or more a day, day after day. Its ridden at high speed, in stop start traffic, on highways and even dirt tracks. Yet its not let me down and shrugs off what's thrown at it.

thumbs up
I've had mine for a couple of years now. I have not had any trouble accept replacing the battery, which is considered really part of routine. I had a 2 wheeler before the Spyder and i don't regret the change. It has been a fun machine and i like the attention it gets, especially in my little small town.

2013 ST-S
Bought mine brand new 2 1/2 years ago from Pitbull Powersports...had the CAT bypass done and Steve from BRP helped get the new air flow panels put on free of charge. Have not had a single issue with the Spyder....except that it takes me 4 hours just to go down to the store for some milk and bread. I always seem to get lost!

Hi bronzeflex42,
Re: my little small town.
Back when I was still working I used to get down to Sandersville fairly often. Lapp Insulator has/had a plant there.
That is a nice little town,

Haha. It was a block party. The whole street was blocked off. And some of us were doing stunts up and down the street to get the crowd going. Haha. Was a fun day.

My wife and I have had our 2013 RTS SE 5 for a little over 220 miles now. Would have been more but we didn't get it home til Tuesday afternoon, we had strong storms yesterday and we had to babysit for our youngest granddaughter today. But we did ryde our Spyder to do the babysitting.............a total of 140 miles round trip.
This is our first motorcycle and we absolutely love it! We just wish that we hadn't waited so long to buy one!
