Hey everyone, new member here. I have always been intrigued by the looks of Spyders since I first laid eyes on one, now I'm looking to possibly purchase one used (or a new Ryker Rally). So I am here to conduct research, learn what I can, and make an informed decision.

My motorcycle history is short. I took the basic motorcycle course before the iPhone came out. I owned a 2004 Yamaha V Star 650 (cruiser), then a 2004 Honda 919 (standard), then a 1979 Suzuki 750 (UJM). Rode to work as long as chance of rain was under 40% or the weather was 40+ (rains every day in the summer in FL, but barely ever gets cold by everyone else's standards). But many years ago I moved, changed jobs, stopped riding, sold my last bike.

The reason I mention the iPhone is because everyone has a phone in their hand nowadays. As much as I'd like to get a motorcycle, for my situation the risk vs reward just isn't worth it. The last thing I need is a person surfing social media changing lanes right into me. Obviously I don't want that to happen to me on a trike or in a car either.

Nowadays my only solo commuting is my 30ish mile round trip to work. I'm just looking to spice it up a bit. I'll be reading up on reliability, ease of DIY maintenance and repairs, etc. I'm torn between the Spyder F3 lightly used vs a new Ryker Rally. Even with their pros and cons, I haven't swayed towards one or the other yet.

Thanks all.
