Used Spyder RT 2015 or 2016; Any thoughts or recommendations?

Congratulations. They are nice machines. The 3 year warranty is a real bonus.

Congratulations! You made a good decision and the Spyder is just getting into it's best years, IMO. I'm just shy of 69K on mine and am looking forward to many more thousands of miles of fun.

Congrats on your purchase. But when shopping, I also take a look at the private market. My friend just sold her 2014 RTS with the BRP trailer for $12,000. She had a load of add ons, and it was in mint shape. I would have purchased it for myself if I could have hidden it from the wife for a while. But 3 bikes in the garage would be pushing the limit a bit much.

Thank you! So far, so good.

&#55357;&#56838; Thank you! Yes, I did look for some private sellers too. I saw somebody selling another 2016 (I think) with the trailer included. Would like to have checked that out, but they were too far out of state. But I did look at those too.

RT Spyder

Nice Choice on the Color. Enjoy your new to you Spyder. Is your Spyder a RT Limited? It will say on the side bags. ........:thumbup:

Thanks! It's an RTS. Not the Limited. Posting some additional pics here this thread...

As threatened...er, promised, here are some more pics with the wife. It's hers, actually. Mine's the little 650cc Suzuki. We just got our 3-wheel endorsements (WA state) about a month ago so we're getting better acquainted with the Spyder. Especially my wife since this is her first motorcycle endorsement.
