Definitely not, i had a 03 Honda Shadow 750, liked it a lot, but when i saw the Spyder Rt for the first time, i had to have one. I don't regret it at all. I don't have any issues that prevent me from riding a two wheeler except i love the Spyder to much. I really didn't care for a 3 wheeler before the Spyder came out. These bikes are kool and great head turners.
