Greetings, as a new owner of a used 2021 Ryker Rally I'm happy to have found this forum. I've ridden lots of brands and styles of two wheelers over the years, usually having a big touring or adventure bike along with something 'different' for local rides around the orchards and vineyards in Southern Oregon's Rogue Valley. My last local ride bike was a 2019 Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor, but as much as I tried to make it fit, it was too small and uncomfortable for my 6' + height and 70 year old knees and hips. I sold it in September. Perusing craigslist one evening while watching tv, (bad habit) I noticed this Ryker at the local Can Am\Yamaha dealer at a price I couldn't resist. I looked at it the morning before Thanksgiving, test rode it that afternoon and they did a quick oil change and had me out the door before closing. Almost new with less than 500 miles and some accessories already on it for $7500. I went a little crazy on black Friday sales and added a windshield, Shad bag, comfort seat, wind deflectors and more. Still not a lot of money into it for the fun it's been already. I'm a USN veteran and retired from our local government IT dept, happily married and living in southern Oregon out of Jacksonville. I'll ride year round if not pouring rain or freezing... I hope everyone had a great year and looking forward to the 2024 riding season.
Byron.
