What model do you recommend

[Steve W.]

I’m 100% confident I will be reaching for the clutch and front brake for a while especially for harder/emergency stops when I’m just instinctively reacting as in avoidance maneuvers or suddenly stopping for that light that turned red sooner than expected. Im conditioned since I use the front brake more than the rear brake on my two wheel bikes.

Just keep reminding yourself that you are NOT on a 3-wheeled motorcycle, you are on a 3-wheeled CAR.

The car analogy will help you remember that your ONLY brake is at your right foot.

You also STEER the Spyder, which is opposite a 2-wheeled cycle. Keep in mind the image of riding on the back step of a kid's tricycle and steering where you want to go. (It worked for me) If you have any time onboard a snow machine, that helps. What you really have is a snow machine with the optional wheel package so you can ride it all-year around. :thumbup:

That would be nice to have rise and pullback options for handlebars. Not everyone is the same size. ��

Hi Adventurer,

I’m 64 and retired. Been a two wheel rider for the majority of my life like ... me too hyea:

First: my wife loves to ride with me, but only on the 3-wheelers (but not on the 2-wheeles we used may years) ..

we had an RT for many years and changed now to a Ryker 900 - looks more sporty and is more sporty - its the better Solution if you really plan "Adventures" - shaft drive / lightweight / faster / better handling
but the RT is a perfect Highway Tourer..

I saw this post and my first thought was Cindy Crawford.

I understand what you mean, but I just don’t like the car analogy as I don’t want to think I’m driving a car around...I don’t want to leave the bike world! If I did I’d just buy a Mazda Miata...yuck!

I’m sure hoping 3 wheels will coax my wife into riding with me more, will be interesting to see one way or the other.

I’m an adventure rider at heart and love to explore unpaved back roads but I think there are plenty of paved roads to explore and keep me happy the rest of my riding life. I have the new Honda CT 125 on order, so I’ll still have a tool on hand for the more remote exploring, just a little more tame than what I’ve been used to.

Haha, I’d take that model in a heartbeat!

I will enroll in a riding class if I find one available semi-close to me. I’m 100% confident I will be reaching for the clutch and front brake for a while especially for harder/emergency stops when I’m just instinctively reacting as in avoidance maneuvers or suddenly stopping for that light that turned red sooner than expected.

In my comments concerning the class I failed to mention that my class had a few different models of the spyder and we were allowed to try all if we choose.
