There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Video's
The video's are the same, but watch the second one because it's of better quality …… Sorry but I wasn't impressed by the tester. Lots of no info air time, great scenery, but I wasn't watching this for the landscape...…. JMHO … Mike :thumbup:

I think he did a Great job explaining the feeling and a lot of things during the drive? What he didn't cover you can find on Facebook video's IF you Dare? Love to see a 600 Report NEXT!!!
I though it was pretty good for a first ride video, can't wait for some more in depth reviews. Roll on power at freeway speeds is still an unknown but from what I've seen so far I'm not sure that is going to be an issue with the 900.

Yeah, I wish he would have shown more roll on power and top speed or higher end power. Hard when you're riding in a group. He did say a tank of gas was expected to last about 200 miles so that means about 35 mpg

The video (though not perfect) is worth watching. A lot of information can be gleaned.
The Ryker will be a hit for many. Reminds me of the bare bones type bikes we had in the 60's. Many built for price point and not for much else.
We figured out how to deck them out...and the rest is history. :yes:

Here is another one worth watching, couple new nuggets like the brake pedal is also adjustable up and down on the fly, close up of the glove box USB ports and a cap-less gas cap which I hope is lockable but doesn't say lol

WOW- Adjustable Brake pedal Height - This is Major for Safety around Twisties so your foot is always in the proper position without buying different length bars??? And can be adjustable for the next rider without a tool!!

Good review
Thanks for sharing your review. This sounds like it could be a good alternative for someone who wants to ride three wheels but really only needs something for close in, local type riding. With no power steering I'm not sure I would want to try a long haul or cross county trip though.

Don't be too sure......
I have a good friend that road a Cushman 5HP single speed Scooter coast to coast and border to border back in the late 60's
I one time about '64-'65 I road a Mobeylette Moped the 550 miles from Lubbock, Tx. to Houston, Texas.
The Ryker will be like a Cadillac on a trip like those above as compared to either the Cushman or Moped.
Its all fun and an adventure. :thumbup:
