Honda Goldwing Spyder.

I absolutely agree. The "who's on first" scares the crap out of me with these complicated machines.
And you're dead on regarding the price.

BUT........it still looks pretty attractive. If Honda goes the OEM route, I imagine the price will be more manageable.
In my view, BRPs biggest problem is their dealer network, not the product.
Most of BRPs dealers do not know how to treat customers with road machines. Most of them seem to be dealers who started out selling BRPs other lines, like the sleds and the pwcs. Those are all recreational vehicles. The standard for customer care is a lot different for a recreational toy used on occasional weekends than it is for a vehicle that may be required to get you back and forth to work everyday.
Honda already has that bullet proof reputation and lots of experience with road vehicles.
Danbury Power Sports sells Can Am atvs pwcs and sleds. I'm still surprised that BRP won't let them sell or service Spyders, especially considering the other nearby dealers have such crappy reputations.
Vanderhall is supposed to be coming to the Indian dealer up in Brookfield. And don't forget Danbury HD. All are closer to me than Arctic Adventures.
Makes you really appreciate how good we had it at Gargano's.

You said it brother! Bob Jr. was a great guy, and a REALLY GREAT Spyder tech. To see him forced out of business in the way it was done was just wrong. A small family owned business since 1963 gone just like that. Poof.

I test drove one of the motortrikes at a GW event, IMO it was really poorly made and when the test drive was over, which was almost "just around the block" they didn't even ask me if I liked it or what I thought. IMO no one has to worry about them putting anyone out of business.
