• 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.

RYKER..............

be interesting to see if this thread gets replies
there are only 5 other active threads dealing with the Ryker.
Guess there's always room for antother just so folks can continue to repeat themselves
 
If the Ryker is generating conversation: that means that it's getting noticed... :thumbup:
I like it also, and have space in my garage... you can leave it up here with me! :D
 
Rather than adding a new thread..... I will just add to this one.

For those of you considering the Ryker which version are you thinking about? the 600cc, the 900cc, or the Rally?

For me I would want one of the 900c or rally, but a lot of that will depend on ryding one and the F3 side by side to see which I prefer.

For me... 900cc built the way I would build it came in less expensive than the Rally is. And until I know all the details as to what the Rally has that the regular 900CC Ryker does not, I see no reason to get the Rally for my situation.

Now if we end up learning it has better engine mounts, seals, air-filer system, exhaust mountings, bushings, shocks, multiple performance modes (Like gravel-dirt/snow-ice/sport/eco) and braking as a few examples. Then I would go straight to a Rally. However, at the price point I would think there is realy not much of a difference in the items I just described.

From the Can Am website these are the listed features of the Rally, and while much of what you listed aren't mentioned things like the upgraded KYB suspension that allows for the an extra inch of travel in the shock. The driving modes of ECO, Sport, and Rally as well as the edition of the MAX Mount (for rear seat or extra storage options). They also mention "structural enhancements" but does not specifiy what those are. i agree more info is needed.

  • Rally Tires
  • KYB Suspension
  • MAX Mount
  • Structural Enhancements
  • Handguards
  • Driving modes: Eco mode, Sport mode and Rally mode
  • Automatic Transmission
  • Vehicle Stability System
  • Tool-free UFit system

That sounds like a really nice setup! :thumbup:
Since I'm having such difficulties with my eyes now: my riding (if any); would be limited to the local roads.
We would be seriously looking at the 600cc twin base model.
But we would add:
The comfort seats for both rider and passenger
the rear "sissy bar" for the Missus
the two-up rear spring
the hard saddlebag
The front accent light.

It would still keep us well under 11 grand. :yes:
 
Ryker Saddlebag Question?

When i have filled out the build it for the Ryker i noticed that it has add 'saddlebag' .. but not 'saddlebags'. Am i understanding it correctly that there is only the option for 1 saddlebag and not a set? .... if this is the case, i would think this will make the bike look lopsided!

Yes, just one saddlebag and it goes on the throttle side of the bike. The open side of the swing arm.
 
Wylie, :congrats: :thumbup:
As far as the single saddlebag story: the bike isn't meant for long distance multistate trips anyway.

I've posted a couple of both in the various threads...
But somebody even caught a video of a "first impression ride"... :thumbup:

Happy hunting!
 
Anyone heard when these are supposed to actually be available? I may be in the market for a new ride sooner than I thought....

If that is for sure...gonna be interesting for us folks who think it takes two to "balance" the look. I would not be riding around with one saddlebag. Think of the questions that will generate. :roflblack::roflblack:
