I think this thread should be in the "No Moto Content" Grin

It obviously has a target market and I am sure many people will enjoy them, so I'm not going to get negative. Its just not for me, $13K is better spent on two wheeled toys.

Oh and the commercial drives me nuts. Are they planning gangs of these things on the roads? And when they do the Biker Wave, shouldn't they stick out three fingers??

With a Rotax 998 V twin Dohc 4 the Spyder puts out 106 hp at 900 lbs.

It would sure beat a Lotus Exige in the twisties or on a track.

The neat one is the T-Rex w. the 187 HP, ZX-14 engine at 900 lbs.

It will do 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds.

The Spyder would have been infinitely more awesome if the rider and the main "torso" of the bike could lean in curves.  Evil

I like Hanks idea of anyone riding one throwing up the shocker that might help their demographics a bit.
