• 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.

Is this a good deal? Want to buy in a few hours. Please help as I’m very novice

I didn’t buy the 18 guys! I did buy a used (200 mile) 2020 Spyder RT limited! Can’t wait to ride it Monday!! I paid $27,500

:welcome:

Check out this thread: https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums...the-2021-and-2022-years&highlight=mirror+2020. Your Spyder may or may not have a mirror vibration issue. It's something you'll want to check out and if it hasn't been corrected get the dealer to do so. Also, do a search here for BRPConnect. Some owners have had real issues getting it to work satisfactorily and others have had good luck with it. Learn all you can about it and try to be ahead of problems using it.

Get a handle on those two issues and all will be super great with your new ride!

Oh, and review this thread: https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums...t-Do-s-and-Do-Nots-quot-for-new-Spyder-owners. It is deep fountain of good information for new Spyder owners. It will go a long way to cure your 'novice' status!

Thanks a lot for all the suggestions. I especially appreciate the links in the forums. I will be posting pics when it’s delivered on Friday! I am taking my 3 wheel class so I can legally ride it Saturday and Sunday. This community is so nice. Outside of this community I have gotten **** for buying a Can am because I’m in my late 20’s and those bikes are for “old people” or disabled people. Kinda pissed me off. Oh well Ill be having fun and I’ll be more comfortable.
 
Age is just a number, you are for sure gonna enjoy the spyderride, whether cruising, and enjoying the scenery, or blasting the paved roads, it's a ver versatile machine, can't wait to hear your first experience.
Mine was (still is) a real eyeopener....

People are jealous, it's kinda an expensive toy, I had a motorbike, and found that I was always drivin alone, cause my spouse, didn't want to ride with me, so I was at my dealer, and asked if i could testdrive a can am spyder, took it home, the wife jumped on, and after a few km's she was filming, and apping on her phone, telling her sister, YEAH finally in the comfort zone, so I bought one on the spot..15000 kms later, we still love this machine
ps, I am 53 yrs old...ghegheghe

welcome on this awesome forum, where there is no envy, just folks who want to help, even if you ask questions, they have already answered a thousand times... try to search for tyres, and you will see

A likely reason for the **** they are spewing ..... is because they are clueless !!!! .... After three Spyders over 13 yrs of riding I consider myself to be an expert at it ..... and I have surprised many folks on lots of different types of High End machines with What my Spyder can do ..... stay safe, and take your time learning to ride it " like you stole it " ...... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:
 
I tell my 2-wheeled crew to try it before you knock it. They have learned that the Spyder can stay with them in the hairiest places and no longer look at them as 'handicapped toys'. I used to look at these with distain when blowing thru the Smokys on my sport tourer. I used to race Karts and the Spyder brings back all the same thrills (without the spills).
 
First of all (& no disrespect intended), glad you bought the latest generation, you will love riding it!

Second, to all those who "dis" you..., tell them to "Have a Nice Day" (see Bon Jovi), and remember (what my mother told me, 50 years ago), "Sticks & stones may break your bones, but words can never hurt you". Many of the Harley owners I ride with tell me, privately, "I can see the day where this will keep me on the road"..., even more of their wive's love it!

You'll get tens of thousands of miles of enjoyment from this purchase!

Last, I eavesdropped here for a year before I bought; this forum is a fantastic source for support and advice from fellows owners, and for your contributions to us.
