Looking at a 2011 Can-Am Spyder - what is good &/or bad about that year?

It is probably going to need a coolant change and a brake fluid change, as they may not have been done in a while, but that could be true of any year Spyder that has been sitting a lot. If you are up to doing that yourself, you will save a ton of money. If they haven't been changed I would also suggest plugs and wires from BajaRon. The OEM wires are fragile and break down due to age, heat, and being handled. At 35,000 it has had at least one front tire change, and 2 or 3 rears if they stayed with Kendas. Front brakes will be on their second set of pads and the 3rd and close to needing a replace on the rear. Can you get the service records on these items from the seller? If you can it may save you some money, otherwise you will want to budget that cost into your purchase. What about trailer tires and axle service. If those are OEM tires, they are over 10 years old.
I don't want to discourage you from buying an older machine, I love my V-Twin and it is pushing 79,000 miles. I also do almost any service it needs and if I needed one, I would buy a low mileage V-Twin in a heartbeat. I find them fun, fast, and reliable. Short service intervals and lower range are the big drawbacks to some, but I am ready for a break after 2-2.5 hrs. anyway. I do my own oil changes at 4500 miles and that is a stretch for me. On all my previous motorcycles I did them every 3000. Goodluck to you on whatever your choice and post some pictures of whatever you get.
