    Default Two wheels in the front

    Not a Spyder, but this little rascal sure looks fun. Snapped a pic of it today coming out of a gas station.

    T-rex--- $50,000 - no thanks.

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    I would love to play with one. I still think the saddlebags look really out of place on it though and kind of cheapen the whole look. Maybe it is just me.

    Default Nice wheels.

    I really like the wheels. I'm sure it is a blast to drive. Bags do nothing for the looks but we need storage space every now and then.

    I agree...it has a steering wheel and is essentially a car...

    You see them at the bike shows, but they are very out of place...you put a cage and a steering wheel on something and it's really no longer a bike...

    Default T-Rex pricing

    Looked on their website - mucho dinero!!! 14R-1352 cc eng - $53,999.optional side bags are an extra $1700, wind deflector $300. 14RR-1352 cc eng - $58,500., side bags and wind deflector same prices - V13R has a 1250cc harley engine - 2 people sit side by side - no price - as the old saying goes, if you have to ask you can't afford it! And a couple of the colors are at least $2000. extra!!! And having to pay $1700. extra for what comes standard on the spyder is very stupid!!! I don't know the price on the limited but it can't be more than $35,000.!!! And I think the spyder is much cooler looking!!!

    How do those things handle in the crosswinds I wonder? Can they outrun em?

    States visited on the Spyder.
