• 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.

The wait is OVER!

Woohoo!

Congrats! We need an emoticon of a smiley face that is green with envy.
If we had one, that's the one I'd use right now!

Holding our breath. . . . . waiting for a call from our dealer......
:pray: :pray: :pray:

Meanwhile, let us hear what you think of it after you get some miles on it.

How's the seat?

How's the sound? Muffler AND tunes

We wanna hear all about it!!!

I'm only 53 miles in (6 on the odo at delivery). I've been riding on two wheels for the last 18 months (Harley Sportster but primarily a Honda CBR), first Spyder.

Impressions so far:

Seat-is so much more comfortable than my CBR. Feels like I'm sitting on a Dr Scholls gel shoe insert. I didn't realize how uncomfortable the saddle on my CBR is.

Muffler- is quieter than I'm used to. Then again, I'm used to a screamin' eagle and yosimura exhaust. Sounds good though but I'll probably switch to something with more of a roar down the road.

Ergos- will take some more miles to get used to.

Engine- thanks to the great posts about rpm's on this site, the engine purrs and really has a ton of power. So far, I'm most impressed with the engine.

SE5- need to get better at downshifting manually. Also, took me a bit to be able to find the downshift "button" every time with the correct finger. I found myself pushing the back of the + button.

Steering- again, need more miles but I understand when the effects of the "death grip" kick in and how to correct.

The biggest thing that got me was lane position. I'm so used to riding in the first or third position, that I have to relearn to ride in the center.

More to come in 100 miles.

It sounds like you are doing pretty good for a newbie. Lane position is a big thing for a 2 wheeler to learn but you'll get used to it pretty quickly.
 
:congrats:so happy for you! I know how great it feels to get your first Spyder as I only have had mine a short time. Hope you have many Myles of Smyles in your future :yes:
