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.

On the negative side you can't lay it down to break your ankle or leg (opps maybe that isn't so negative). It's more difficult to perform maintenance than most bikes (I guess that comes with the complicated systems that make it good). It's gas mileage is less than a conventional bike - 25 to 32 depending on who you believe and how you ride.
On the positive side it is very comfortable ,especially RT for passengers, the electronic systems create great stability and ease of steering (if you have the new dps), it has much more acceleration and power than you would believe from a three wheeler, the automatic transmission option offers especially easy riding in traffic compared to conventional bike.. and the pluses go on and on..not the least important of which is that you join a fantastic group of people called spyder lovers!! people who provide support, guidance, and friendship every step of the way through your ownership experience.

A Class M is not required in California for the Spyder (for any trike or motorcycle with a sidecar for that matter)
Find a local dealer and go take a test ryde.... you will be hooked!
I was hooked right away, I test rode 3 different times at 3 different dealers, I know I HAD to own one...took me a year but I finally got one. Never once regretted it, I have added almost 17,000 miles in the first year.
