This is some good food for thought. I ordered my Spyder a week ago today and cant wait until it gets here. It was a tough decision but I decided to get the SM5. First of all, I dont want to wait. Secondly, I have never ridden a bike with a clutch but I think it will give ME more control of the bike as the Spyder has plenty of systems that control the bike somewhat already. And another thought was maintenance and things to go wrong with the tranny. Since it is the first year and there are obviously a few bugs...squeaky brakes, oil consumption etc with the Spyder I am thinking its possible the semi-auto transmission could be a likely place for some of that. The last reason and probably the least one that matters is resale value. I am thinking the die hard motorcycle person will be more likely to buy a fully manual in the future rather than a semi-auto.

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.
