We own a 2008 Honda 1800N with 5500 miles, almost total Kuryakyn chromed and power oriented. We went to Middletown Cycle in Ohio to pickup some chrome I had ordered. He also sells CanAm's. Wife has been wanting to ride the RTS SE5 demo for a couple of months now. I've been reading Lamont's comments and Spyder Lovers Forums for 2 months learning how unreliable and expensive they are. To me not an interest item to own, but rode the demo for 15 minutes and took it back and nah! Dealer said ride it an hour and bring it back-ok not as fast as my 1800N-off the line sucks-but sooo comfortable!!!-told him we would think on it. Took Lamont's recall list and shop service fixes to the dealer. We decided on the Black RTS SE5 on the showroom floor-dealer ran the VIN on the computer and all the fixes were already done. Good deal!!! Ok lets deal-he and MSRP are closer together than a dealer in Michigan. I live in Dayton, Ohio, a half hour from Middletown Cycle Shop. Many of your members can't find a good dealer with parts and a good service facility. He gave a little and worked well with us on the chrome accessories and service bargains. First service at 600 miles-I called to schedule an appointment and they told me to just bring it in and it would take 2 hours. Replaced glove box lock that they had in stock while servicing it. Had a guy spray waxing it when I went to pick it up. Got 1700 miles on it now and love it and only have had it for 1 month. Glad I chose to stay with a reputuable dealer instead of going for the bargain. My wife wants to sell the 1800N and get another CanAm like the one we just bought for her to ride. Can't go anywhere without people staring or asking about it. Sooo glad that we bought it!!!
