Thinking about trading my 2012 RT for a 2025 Ryker Rally - Any problems or issues with Rykers?

Thinking about buying 2025 Ryker Rally, and trade in my 2012 Spyder RT; my question is - are there any problems or issues with the Ryker? Also why do people often sell their Ryker and go for the Spyder?

People just as often go from RT to Ryker. We don't know anything about you, so how can we advise you?

Because the Ryker is a hot rod toy, not a cruiser.

No problems with my Rally... ain't she purdy?!

I'm also pondering this. Well... Likely will make the switch come Spring.

If you don't do any touring and just bang around it will be a blast!! But there are a few on here that have made themselves a nice touring bike out of that platform, and the cost of them are really easy on the pocket!

If you physically fit on a Ryker and aren't bothered by the not-at-all-plush suspension, you can easily outfit it to suit and happily ride it far and near. It's better for my back and pelvis if I stand while navigating rough patches, bumps, and railroad tracks, and I couldn't comfortably do that on my Ryker, never could get my feet under me as much as I needed to. But the bikes are tough as nails and worth every penny if you buy them right. They are also refreshingly simple, compared to the sometimes overwhelming tech of the Spyder.

We have both the RTL and the Ryker, never had a single problem with either. Mikey and Sarah are right, you can outfit the Ryker to suit your needs and still end up spending a lot less than a then a newer Spyder. My wife loves her Ryker and the simplicity of twist and go CVT.
