Trike reviews

One of my fellow riders in our group had been steered the wrong way as far as three wheelers were concerned,evidently someone told him that three wheelers couldn't keep up with the rest of the pack,even though they had the same engines and trannies the others had. He finally bit the bullet bought one and now he loves it and he found out he can still keep up or even LEAD the pack if he wants too! Show less

After years of abuse on my body playing sports my knees were not very reliable, so I made the switch from two wheels to three. My riding is relaxing again. The wind doesn't mess with me anymore and I don't have to worry about my knee giving out when stopping. I love this bike! Show less

It's my best investment. It's hot, sexy, fast and turns like a sports car - wow - wow. Hannigan trikes - the best birthday gift a man can get. It's classic Indian red/buttermilk two tone. The people of plant know you are the best. Thank you John, Dan and the staff. I'm killing the bike show with display - head dress - pipe - spear. God bless you Lou. Show less

I've been riding Harleys all my life but do to my wife's health, I elected to try a Goldwing trike. It's the smartest thing I've ever done. I love the comfort and power and my wife loves the comfort. The only problem now is the Harley might not get much road time. Show less

i have the 2012 Brown RT Limited - I bought it in December and have been on it every good weather day I could get!! Love it, love it, love it!!!! It is fun to ride -- no worries about riding with a passenger. I can't wait to get some longer weekend trips on the Spyder! Overall, I think that this is an awesome machine that makes riding a worry-free, pleasurable almost year-round activity!! Show less

I'm trying to find thicker pads for the passenger foot pads as my wife's legs are short and don't rest on the pads. I love my Spyder, it's great. I'm glad I own one. It was a great investment. Show less

I have had a minor computer oriented bug in my RT Limited Edition since about the second week of ownership. Just last week I took it in for the second time and left it for them to check it out. Then during the same day I got sick and was hospitalized for three days. My spouse made contact with the local service and sales Department personnel, Roxie, Mark and Jim, explaining she would like to get it back home and out of their way. They discussed several ways and settled on having Rodney bring it home and she would return him to the service department. Rodney brought it home safe and sound, parked it in the garage for her and she returned him back to the service department. Believe me when I say, this is not your normal service from past experiences with other dealerships. Additionally, I have had to return it once since getting back to riding and they have bent over backwards to get me and my Spyder in and out in the shortest time possible. We were chasing down a computer-oriented gremlin and so far they have used a lot of gremlin spray to kill it but we are hoping the last treatment did it in. Thanks "everyone" for the excellent service experience. Show less

I am 74 and in good health and just did not want to give up riding. This trike is very easy for me to handle and my wife feels more at ease than on the 1600 I traded in. I would highly recommend it for someone who feels that two wheels is getting a little to much for them, and I feel much safer with my abilites with three wheels! Yes, its fun to ride after getting use to three instead of two. It is quite a bit different. Show less

My son and I bought two Spyders. I prefer the manual shift, he the semi auto. Both bikes perform the same over-all. He had no motorcycle background and actually adapted to the steering faster than I did. My first hour on this bike I thought it was a mistake. It doesn't handle like a motorcycle. I rode it from LA, California to San Francisco the first day. I'm 64 years old and found the ride quite satisfactory. It's a great town and country rider. However, you can't ride it thru the twisties like a motorcycle, but it handles the speed limits fine. The more saddle time you get, the better you can handle the bike. At a thousand miles I like the bike. It will take a few thousand miles to love it. Show less

After 17 years on two wheels and eight motorcycles, I bought a Spyder RS-S for my wife. So far - it's good - comfortable, fast and I think beautiful. The good: comfort for the pilot, good cargo capacity, good traction, fast in a straight line, doesn't fall over, easier to see then a bike, well made with tight controls, good paint and attention to detail. The bad: passenger foot pegs are cramped, takes a lot of effort to ride fast - got to hang on in the turns! If you ride two wheels - it takes some time to re-learn steering and brakes. Overall - a good alternative to a cruiser, fun, fast, easy to ride and enjoy the sights. Just don't try to hang with the local sportbike club in the mountains. It's a good touring platform. Oh - and the wife LOVES it. Show less
