I, as usual, don't get it. If'n you're itchin' for three wheels, why not get a URAL. At least it's a Dual Sport.JSNS
Yo Old Michael, did you give our Marky-Mark permission to come out and play with the adults? Bokerfork if we want any shit out of you, then we will............

 
If you're looking for something 2-up to include Ms. Donna, I would recommend the RT for much better pillion comfort. 2008 was the first year for the Spyders so I would check on warranty replacements (there were a few things). Plus the later models (2013 and beyond) have much better handling, imo.
Many thanks for your advice and recommendations Miss Tyler, I won't purchase until Easter when I find out if my January surgery is successful.

With thanks to gfran, finally got to see a new Scouser Mobile! Very nice Roger and Deb, your RT is a real beauty! JSNS, Liverpool Rocks aye!

Thanks Ray and Ty, I'm still in the tire kicking phase of acquiring a Spyder Trike. After my mishaps, I've become apprehensive of hauling passengers. Both Girlfriend Donna and Son Seth have both stated to me they'd rather travel in the Bimmer M3 ragtop than on either a two or three wheeler, I have to respect their wishes!

But for solo runs where Seth can't go because of Schooling and Donna can't attend because of elevation and her COPD problems, a Spyder for NAFO makes good sense!

Mike K. really went the extra mile to get me detailed information on this machine, he is such a Great Guy: He went over there immediately and did a thorough inspection!

What do you want to know bout the Spyder. I'm going to run over there and take a look. Since it's being advertised through the dealer (Elk Grove Power Sports) I assume it's in decent condition. At less than 5,000 miles it hasn't been ridden much in 7 years.

It was one of the sold a brand-new to a customer in the foothills. He didn't write it enough so he came in and he traded it for a new quad. So they've done the service they know the condition of the thing it's one of the originals it's an electric shift doesn't have a clutch handle but it does have a Corbin seat with the flap see you don't have to pull the seat to fill the gas tank and a touring screen.






I saw one flaw, there's a mark on the fuel tank over like somebody drugged her heel on it getting on or off the bike but it looks like it would buff out.








I spoke with another writer who is there with his that came off of a hurry. He loves it said he has no problem unless he pushes the corners then he has to use his upper body a little more for steering. He also bought his used in added the saddlebags and told me his CanAm color matched were $900 shipped to his door and he install them himself.





Many thanks Mike, I owe you a meal My Friend. I am still kicking tires, but trying to get a handle on the value of used Spyders.





That RIDER came off a Harley and loves his.



No problem friend. Glad to be able to help.





Thanks again Mike, very thorough info!
Hey folks,

I live about 3 miles from Elk Grove Powersports. My sister purchased a used 2011 RT Limited with ~9K miles from them about a month ago. If I remember correctly, the bike was ~14K + tax, etcetera.

The curious thing is that the story the shop told her regarding the RT was exactly the same as that Mike relates above for the yellow 2008: a guy in the hills traded it in for a quad. Curious...perhaps this guy had two Can-Ams he traded in, or the salesperson crossed his information? Don't know.

Her and I just returned from a weekend ride to Sutter Creek and Kirkwood yesterday afternoon complete with rain; wife and I on the 15 FJR ES and my sister on the RT. It was her first long ride on the machine and she loved it, weak sway bar and all ;-)

The 2008 looked very clean, though we didn't consider it very long since it was an 08 and it had an aggressive seating position for her. Once she saw the full dress tourer RTL, the decision making process was done ;-)

James
