I test rode one last year and it was fun with a great motor! Lots of power but I wasn't able to get use to the cornering with my test ride, the dealer let me take it out by myself and I rode some blacktops with a couple of great curves but I just wasn't comfortable taking those corners fast. I have to agree with Dave on that it takes awhile to actually get use to the Spyder to really like it.
When I'm too old to throw my leg over my Ulysses, the Spyder might just be the ride for me! |

I passed their demo truck on my way home from work today. It was most likely coming from Ukes and heading to the Western suburbs for the week. Ukes has a couple that you can demo in Kenosha. |

I'd take one on a long enough ride to burn thru a tank of gas in a NY minute! But for me, the demo ride + running it exclusively over a 2 day "how to ride this to illustrate how it can be ridden" curriculum using it as a demo for all the exercises was enough to make me a believer. This beast is cool!
If I had the extra dough and the extra room in the stable, I'd be all over one. |

I test rode a Spyder last spring. Impreseive power and very stabile.
I loved it, the woman did not. |

I saw one this past weekend that was all decked out in camo and had a larger windscreen and some accessories I'd never seen before (luggage, etc.). I believe it had Ontario plates. |

There is a woman that works in City Hall in Tallahassee. She's all of about 4'10" (on a good day) and she LOVES hers. Its the closest thing to a motorcycle she's ever going to be able to ride cause of her height.
She parks it with all the bikes out front when she rides and most of the guys pest her for a chance to take it for a spin. |

Saw 2 yesterday in a tiny little town here in upstate NY. First ever on-road sighting for me. |

I've seen a couple.
You'd think if they made a track and ski kit for it, they would put all the snowmobile makers out of business. It would be the ultimate all weather recreational vehicle. |

I saw 3 between Sunday and Monday this week. I don't think I wanna own one, but I do wanna go on an unsupervised ride. |
