Sounds like a lot of disgruntled Spyder riders on here. I tend to agree with you on their website. Has anyone ever checked out the Harley Davidson website? There was some work put into that one. Although, I don't own a Harley anymore. I own a Spyder. We have a lot of negative words on here about the product we bought. How bout we look for some positive things about the machine. You must admit, it has grabbed all of us or we wouldn't have purchased it. I enjoy riding once again. It makes me smile when riding it. This machine is in it's early stages and needs some tweeking, no doubt about it. Hopefully, it will get better in time. They always say don't buy a new product until it has been proven. Well, someone has to be the guinea pig. We're it. We grabbed the bull by the horns because there was something we saw in this product to make us try it. Yes, there are a few things that need to be addressed. :agree: Lamonster, has been doing his part. But, let's all:yes: have some fun. Let's put on our "Party Hat" and have a good time.

Simply nature of the beast. Think about it. How long can we discuss what we like about the Spyder?

Well, quite some time. But still, we all love the Spyder or we wouldn't be here. This is something that we all have in common. Sooner or later we get to a point where we are regurgitating the same great aspects, that we all agree on, over and over again.

That can get pretty boaring. And this Forum (love it or hate it) is ANYTHING BUT BOARING!

When one person's Spyder breaks down, catches fire, dealer closes, etc., then that is NEW and FRESH informaton that we are all interested in.

After everyone has their say, puts in their 2 cents till they have a bucks worth invested (me included) it sometimes appears, as you said, a bunch of disgruntled Spyder owners complaining about their ride.

But line us all up and ask us what we think in a few short words and you'd get a much better feel for it than you might from reading threads and posts focused on (sometimes) negative issues.

There is no doubt that this is one of the best sites on the internet, well designed, well managed, and with all the best sponsors. That is not necessarily a compliment, only the facts.:firstplace: nojoke

:agree::agree::agree:

Yep...their website sucks...but so does their attitude towards their dealers (another thread). I absolutely LOVE my Spyder, but I can't help but wonder...if they keep up their history of HORRIBLE customer service and their equally HORRIBLE treatment of their dealers...how long is it going to take a competitor (Honda, Yamaha, etc.) to come out with a very similar design with better dealer networks (who are happy doing business with them) and MUCH better customer service.

Please...discuss... :chat:

There is already HUGE competition for the Spyder:

Now I know where Bajaron got his idea for the mirror mount.

Honda Reverse Trike

Would love to see Honda jump into this market! Say perhaps a VTX twin, shaft drive and all the traditional Honda reliabilitry!

I'd like to see the Spyder with the Suzuki M109R 1800 cc motor. That is an impressive power plant. Maybe too much torque for our light rear tire though.
