Spyder Ryder
Spyder Ryder
Spotted last evening: toodling down the road upon the RS I came upon a CanAm Spyder-followed him for a few miles. Watching the Ryder through the turns reminded me of snow-mobiling at which point I began to wonder about their suitability for winter ice riding...anyone ever take a spin on one of these?
Re: Spyder Ryder
There are tons of them on the road here.
I only saw one that was really whipping along, over 100mph easy.
Most seem ridden conservatively by 'LeadWing' types that don't want to tip over when they stop.

Re: Spyder Ryder
They're neither common nor rare around here. You see one for every 50-100 motorcycles. So, on warm weeks, I'll see a couple every weekend.
I've talked to a few riders, and they all seem to love them. A lot of riders seem to either be older and have health issues that don't allow them to ride a motorcycle anymore, or older and returning after having not ridden for many years. I haven't met an owner under 50, although I'm sure they're out there. Part of the reason you don't see young riders is price: these things are friggin' expensive.
I haven't ridden one, but, my take is that I'd much rather ride one than drive a hack. Admittedly, I have a strong background in snowmobiles, so it's a riding style with which I'm already familiar.

That is the protocol for all riders of all new machines.Major Softie wrote: I've talked to a few riders, and they all seem to love them.
Even if someone is thinking they made a bad purchase and that their new machine doesn't live up to their expectations,
they won't admit it.
Case in point: I've been telling people I LOVE my overweight POS GS for 20 years and 400,000 kms
