Spyder now-- thinking about a Slingshot
Over 50+ years riding motorcycles and medical problems I bought a Spyder 3 years ago and still do not like the ride. Many things have been tried, tire air pressure, better stability bar and 1000s miles of trying. I do like the Spyder-looks- stability -power-braking and seating but it is time to try something else. I am seriously thinking about the Slingshot for this spring. Most of the complaints about the slingshot seem to be about the open cockpit. wind, noise, rain-not a problem if it is a motorcycle. I see a lot a people working on their Slingshot and many aftermarket items. My first visit to the dealer was to see if I could get in and out-I could. Anyone else go from a Spyder to a Slingshot? thanks Jim
Cam Am Spyder to Slingshot
Carla: The Spyder-I would try one out. Some(many)have had no problem with the ride and handling, mine was a 2009 and the new models are handling better, I hear. Part of my problem is the 50+ years on 2 wheeled motorcycles. The Spyder is not a motorcycle or a car-it just feels different. You sit on a Spyder,a little lower on the new F3 model. You sit in a Slingshot.
The Vanderhall is out of my price range and no local dealer-it does look good. The 3 wheel Morgan also-looks like a good vehicle -high price.
Can Am Spyder now-thinking about a Slingshot
Still looking hard at the Slingshot. Two things are holding me up. One-dealer prices and extra charges-even on demo models. I thought I had a price and then freight and other costs were added. Two-The discussion that is ongoing on Slingshot sites about the improved handling of the 2018 models and problems with previous years.
