Saturday I finally did it, I bought a new ride. After much research and discussion with myself about spending the money, I settled on the CanAm and bought a new 2012 Spyder RT-S SE5. I don't have a picture to post but it's the blue one. Blue I discovered must be the most popular color because the dealer had 2 other blue one waiting to be picked up. I wasn't sure at first about the seating positon and thought my old knees might not like it, but no problem, in fact I find the bike very comfortable. I took it out Sunday for about a 100 mile ride and did not experience any of the leg cramps that a ride of that length sometimes causes me on the Burgman. I also found the seat to be very comfortable although I will be getting a sheepskin cover for it soon and a backrest might be nice. The steering is much different that a 2 wheeler, I'm told it's alot like riding a 4 wheeler ATV, so I will have some habits to change. I really think I will enjoy this new machine and will do some longer distance traveling on it.
I may or may not sell my Exec, not sure yet but either way I'm not going to leave this Board altogether, because a lot of the info on this board applies to riding in general and not just the Burgman.
I'll post a picture later this evening.
