Thought I would show a couple pics of my latest ride. I had to sell the Can-Am Spyder because it was too undependable.
This is a 2002 Kawasaki Drifter 1500. Based on a 1940's Indian. It has 22xxx miles on it and I picked it up for $4900.

This was the first year for the spyder. One of the problems was BRP's specs on the drive belt were too tight causing premature wear on the bearings, gears, belt, etc. In the shop for 4 months and over 4 grand in repairs. 24xxx miles on the Spyder and had the anti-freeze reservoir crack. Brake squeal problems. Problems with the power steering / stability control system. Lack of qualified repair shops and let's not forget....... parts always being on "Back Order!!!" Come on!!!
BRP has solved some of the problems but they are still having their issues and let's not forget the back ordered parts issue. Terrible.
I got tired of sitting at home while everyone else was riding.
Before this, I had 1 Suzuki and 2 Kawasaki's. With the combined mileage of approx. 80xxx miles, I replaced 1 battery and 2 clutch cables. Was kind of a "No Brainer" to me. Again, hopefully someone else will make one.
