It grows on you
By (I am an Owner)Having owned over 60 motorcycles including a VW Trike and a Honda VTX 1300cc Trike I enjoy the Spyder the most. At first it was a little strange but after about 30 miels fo city driving I apprciate the handling and esp the power. It is a attention bike to say the least. I like the up front storage ... area and the handling is great. My Spyder has raised handlebars, mirrors extension s and a Touring shield. A+ fun machine.
