Harley Spyder

The HD website shows the 2011 TriGlide listing for around $28K and the 2012 listing for about $3K more. That dealer must not be having any trouble moving bikes if his mark-up is that huge!

I've been pricing the TriGlide , Out the door 31/32.

So the Spyders are about 10% less money with a quantum increase in handling prowess... :shemademe_smilie::shocked:

I am thinking that BMW--if they made a trike--would not cost that much more.

The cycle mags have been testing the new BMW 1600 GTL. This is 1600 cc six cylinder engine.

They have all the bells and whistles of a Wing, premium package for $26K and are claiming 50 mpg at 55 mph.

That kind of a package with the necessary goodies to make it a 3 wheeler--I'm guessing $30-32? BUT----I'm just guessing.

And your mileage would go down the drain with the added weight and dragging of a 3rd wheel.

Agree, miles per gallon would go down with a 3rd wheel---and--who is going to drive it 55 mph anyway--not me.

And yes--:agree: if they engineered it--they would have enough "wunderbar--fulness" to probably get it up higher than I originally guessed.

If you do some googling you can find a couple of videos taken of a Taurus and an RT rding through some spectacular terrain in switzerland... (Sustern Pass???)

The HD dealer here in town is pretty proud of his products. He has both a military and retired community to market. Most folks who have ridden more than a few months buy their HD's in Columbia South Carolina and save the cost of avarice. In general I have found that folks new to thrikes coming off of HD's don't even shop around or look at other products since all of their friends ride HD's. I speak from experience. I rode Harley's for the last 35 years (with a few BMW and Moto Guzzi's) and went through a lot of good natured grief when I showed up at my Club Meeting on a :spyder2: that was described as a Snow Mobile! Thirty miles later they were all struggling to keep up. Anyway you ride what you got and you ride your own ride!hyea:
