Well I took the leap

[burg650]

Well after over a year of watching all the news and reading all the forums on the Spyder I have taken the leap and ordered a 09 SE5 stock for now. I was very hesitant on this decision after reading some of the problems the SE5 and SM5 have been having and want to believe that BRP will do the right thing and get all these bugs out.

Did not pick a color yet as the dealer told me he has 5 coming in so still time for a color pick as I am not sure what I will do in ways of different look, re-paint the whole bike or just do some custom graphics. I do have a very long list of mods I plan to do in the coming months when I get my Spyder and I get used to how it rides but wanted to ask you all is there anything I should know that you might think I need to know or is VERY IMPORTANT.

Thanks
Roger C

I have an SE5, and, like many others, have not had a single problem. Unfortunately the forum medium tends to magnify the negative.

Oh, and don't beleive what you hear, Full Moon (Silver) is faster than Red.

:yes::yes::yes:

Roger,
Congrats and best of luck. Small learning curve, decide what you want to change and how much you can afford to add on. You'll be happy.

:congrats: Nothing better in the morning than opening the garage and the light from a new day shinning off your Full Moon (silver) Spyder.

Full Moon is the fastest!

I just got mine and I might be a little biased towards red. But I bought a demo so I didn't have much choice. Bottom line, I think you'll end up more thrilled with ownership than color once it's parked in your garage. I know I am. Congratulations!

So it seems that silver is the color of choice here, what about yellow. Ok I am leaning towards the silver as it will be much easier to re-paint if I go that way and right now I might paint it Aqua Blur to match my SSR.

Yes it will look good in my garage next to my other toys, a Suzuki Burgman 650 a Kawasaki 1100STX Jet Ski and my Chevy SSR and all are customize of course. Might et my spyder next week sometime, I know right off the bat handle bars risers and pegs are the first thing next floor boards will be very close behind when they are out.

JMHO, but I don't think you can go wrong with any of the three colors. My Spyder started life as silver but I bought a set of yellow plastic panels to paint.

I liked the yellow so much I continue to run it like that without a custom paint job. The original pristine, silver panels remain in a box in my spare "junk" room.

I have a friend with a red one. It also is great looking... I thought I might get to swap a set of red panels for the silver but that didn't work out. :shocked:
