THIS IS A CONCERN
I read on another post about the person who read negative things about the Spyder. Most of the regulars "Very Actives" came to BPR's defense and gave the Spyder good reviews. I''ve watched numerous vidoes and logged onto this forum on a daily basis and one thing I've picked up is BPR does address issues, BUT the lack of qualified service techs and dealerships does bother me. I thought the idea was to sell the vehicle but also bring in service customers after the sale. I don't know if it's true but I've heard that car dealerships make their money off the Service Department, not the sale of the car. If dealerships that sell Spyders are closing or dropping the product why not invest the future and send people to these technical schools to learn how to wrench on Spyders. I think the Spyder has the potential of taking the motorcycle world by storm. Us old folks don't have the strength or the reflexes we used to but we can still handle a bike and WE have disposable income. It's my understanding we are fortunate in the Houston area to have a freelancer (THORNOLI'S) that everyone goes to. I 'd like to know how to troubleshoot a bike but I'm not interested in wrenching on one. That's why I have Insurance, Extended Warranties and a good lawyer if the first two don't do what I paid for.
Ten years old isn't long for a vehicle company and Spyder has come a long way. Support the dealerships, put well trained Spyder mechanics in there. Don't let Harley or Yamaha sell Spyders in their spare time.
