I have a hard enough time concentrating to keep myself vertical on my feet... I didn't need a 2 wheeler to help me to the ground...

Your body parts getting old, not much you can do about it.
Growing up is a personal thing. I never wanted to.

No. I purchased the 2010 because Bruisersbaby did not like two wheelers. And i thought it not fair for me to be out riding and her not being able to. Now we have the 2012 so we can ride together. How old I am nor my weight had nothing to do with it.

Yes, the Spyder does have an older demographic, but look at who is buying cycles across the board... 40-50+ (kids are gone, more disposable cash, looking to recapture fun, etc.) It's not young guys buying new $30k Harleys. They can't afford them. Bike sales are down 55% and those of us in the older bracket are starting to enjoy our lives. So yes, Spyders do attract more safety oriented, mature markets, but maybe we just have more to live for!

I actually love this demographic shift. It brought us the Spyder (which I'm happily enjoying at the old age of 37), but it's also forcing more of the bike manufacturers to build "recession bikes": low-cost but not low-fun bikes like the Honda CBR250, the Ninjas 300 and 400, and other mid-range bikes that aren't as dinky as past "starter bikes".

It's becoming quite a nice era for bikes that don't weigh a ton and cost a fortune. :thumbup:

I got it for winter riding, Plus some times i like to buck the trend.hyea:
Like when every one was buying Mustangs, I got a Barracuda,
Instead of a GTO, I went with a 442, Chevelle 396' No way went with a Charger 440. :thumbup:
I even had a VW dune buggy [street]

Man, all those rides were nice, definitely old school muscle:yes:

Go for COMFORT!

A LOT of the reason is that the three wheels makes it so I don't hold up the machine. The reverse means i don't push it around so I guess the emnd result is YES.

I am not sure that is a bad thing. There are a lot more "Old" guys driving Cadi's and Lincoln's because they are comfortable. I am tired of flicking the stick on a sports car, even if I CAN!

It is true that it's more appealing to the older generation. But it's some young guys like myself who don't mind saying we don't want to hold up two wheels too. Does that make us old?? :shocked:

No, it just makes you smarter for your age.

I got the Spyder because I am a geek at heart, and love all the gee whiz stuff it has. I also love the looks, but the main reason, was stability. I dropped my bike going across a RR crossing earlier this year. Front wheel locked up on some gravel. No damage to me, or the bike, but it scared me. One less thing I have to worry about now. Three on the ground!!
