Ontario newbie needs info.

[Marker]

Thanks for the info on St. Onge and Ayer, why stay away from 2 Wheels?

PS, how do you know they have stock?

I live just a block away from 2 Wheel Motorsports and I drove 45 mins away to buy my spyder in Ayer Ontario from Team Vincent Motorsports . TVMSports is a great dealership they are a full service platinum BRP dealer and have a customer first attitude as where the other one has a don't bother me attitude and poor workmanship . I have talked to a few people who have had their spyders serviced at the other dealership only to have problems down the road. Having a great dealer makes the spyder ownership experience that more better.

Down your way I have talk to people who have had great service from Beida's Powersports the owner 's name is "Butch"

We have had our RT Limited since May and My wife says it is so comfortable on the back.:yes::yes:I think if you are going to do any touring the RT is the way to go. I took my course on an RS and it was a blast. If I had the money I would have one of eachhyea:!! One for going out and just having a blast and one for touring, which is still lots of fun!

Just curious about the Guelph location....I didn't get the best vibes while there but that alone wouldn't have been enough to avoid them considering they have a decent stock...that may be a reason why.....:banghead:

Unless I'm mistaken Guelph is not too far from Courtland (maybe 60 miles). Reason I say this is Lockhart's Odyssey in Courtland treated me really well when I had a breakdown while traveling through Ontario a few months ago. At the time they had a lot of Spyders in stock, both RS and RTs. Might want to check them out. Here is the thread I started about my dealings with them on my breakdown.

You are correct, it's not that far....I've made arrangements to ensure that my business travels take me into the London area in the next few weeks where I will stop in to see them.

I was at 2 Wheels in Guelph and did speak to them about rentals and test rides. I was told that I can take one out for 30-45-60-75 minutes...I was told that if they weren't busy with people booked for a test ride that day, that I only needed to check in from time to time and let them know I was okay.....but I do want to visit Lockhart's Odyssey - any place that can provide that quality of customer service is worth a shot at taking my money! :bowdown:

rts

the RT is the best for the both of you. It's comfortable & safe:spyder2::clap::shemademe_smilie:and spyderlover.com is the best:clap::2thumbs:

hope we're not too old, but----

And we don't even have the backrest on yet. We have done 120 miles of very high speed mountain twisties and she does not like the look of the RT. we are 31. Maybe when we get older the RT will start to look sexier.

the wife and i are 60 years old, but we feel the same way as you nojokeabout the rs. we have an rss and love the sporty look of it. maybe when we get to be 80 years old we'll take a look at that there rt thing!:yikes:

Hello. I use to ride sport bikes back in the early 80's, sold my bike to buy a house and start a family, 30 years later (last year) my son bought a crotch rocket so I bought a sport touring bike (Ninja 1000) to ride with him but now he is moving out west and his bike is for sale. I'm retired now and would like to do some short trips with my wife but I know she would never ride on the Ninja so I'm researching the Spyder.

Should I be looking at the RT over the RS if we are planning on doing weekend trips?

Is the Spyder considered to be a comfortable ride?

Is it a reliable machine even with a fair number of KM's on it?

There is a 2010 RT AC for sale near me with 43,780 km's complete with entertainment harness and CB/radio intercom system. All tires are new and the bike has been saftied. Does this sound like a good place to start looking?

I know there are atleast 3 Spyder forums, is this the best one for a new Canadian to learn on? :thumbup:

Thanks in advance.

BTW, I felt your pain today...I was in the Niagara area and decided to make a detour and stop in at the :spyder2: dealership in Fenwick...associated and owned by the folks in St. Kitts...won't mention the company name...not worthy.... anyway, NO models available in Fenwick and 3 in St. Catherines but only available to be viewed by "appointment"..... someone needs to get the message to BRP about local representation or lack thereof....
