I have several friends with Spyders, one let me take his for a spin (Of course I reciprocated and let him take my Super Glide.), I was impressed! Powerful, handled nicely, and was certainly not plain-looking, all things I admire in a bike. Would I buy one? In a word, "Yes"! A "Duck" is still my first love though, my knees make that impossible...Ducati Paso, hmmmmmmmmm...............
