Picked Up new Orange 2011 Rs S...now Questions

[DLewis]

count me in

First :spyder2: I saw was on tv. Just had to have one. Local dealer had just sold the one I wanted, so found my baby over the net. Bought it on a Wednesday, picked it up on a Saturday from an out of state dealer. Afet trailering it home (dealer told me to keep it under 50 mph for the first 100 mi.) I got on, and never looked back! Man what fun!! Will be a year this June, since I bought my :spyder2: 2011 RTS Orbital Blue. Luv my baby!!:yes:

I bought mine without riding one, figuring my motorcycle experience would qualify me. Out of the showroom, countersteered instead of steered, grabbed for a handbrake that did not exist, struck a fence and tore off a mirror. Back into the shop for a $91 dollar repair. Shook me up a bit, but a couple of days later I was ryding like I was born to it. Love my Spyder!

i would love to see a photo of that the next time you move... thanks for the info

We spend our winters in Florida and we bring our RT spyder down in a RV toy hauler. This year we purchased another spyder RS s for the wife while down here. The trailer garage area is 8ft by 12 ft and I am pretty sure I can fit them both in that space by putting them back to back. If not somebody is going to have to ride one home. I would recommend a trailer a little larger then mine so you have a little breathing room.hyea:

I had been researching Spyders for about a year. Never took a test ride on one. Found a 2010 RT in NC. Got a lot of advice from the fine people on this website about buying a pre-owned Spyder. Paid for it by wire transfer and then drove up with a rented trailer and brought it back to GA.
I have a dead 30 year old Yamaha 650, so I knew how to ride a MC. Not interested riding a bike with two wheels anymore.
Been having a blast learning about and driving my BluSpyderByte. I didn't even test ride at the dealer. They even loaded it for me. I'm glad I made the purchase and have not regretted it one bit.

I hope you like yours as much as I do mine. Welcome to the group. Post some photos when you get a chance.

:welcome::congrats: i saw the commercial they ran during the Super Bowl a few years ago and said "MUST HAVE!" and then forgot about it (due to monetary constraints) for a while.
when i decided i had enough cash i researched bikes and the Spyder online. i picked out all the mods i wanted, drove to the dealer and handed him my printout and said, give me an estimate for this build and then we can deal. didn't even sit on one that day.
i bought my 2011 RSS :spyder2: before i test rode too. i saw it in the shop a couple times before all mods were done and they delivered.
i went inside and got geared up after they delivered and rode around enough in the neighborhood and high school parking lot enough to feel comfortable ryding to work that night......been ryding since.

i also agree: post pics when you got em!!

In March of 2008 I flew to Florida & bought my Spyder. I was on my way back to Tennessee within one hour of seeing it for the first time. Some of my friends asked why I would do such a thing. My reply; "Just look at it".
Four years later and I still get questions about it when I stop. Yesterday I noticed the odometer had just rolled over 46,000. Do you feel like I do?
