Another good video Knight Ryker, one thing I might add to your list would be not to purchase the OEM windscreen when buying the bike new as there are better after market screens available at a better price, I think the same also goes for luggage and side cases where A/M items are once again better and cheaper than OE, I also feel the Rally 900 is the best version of this bike considering it’s extras as standard equipment. Keep up the good work mate.

I just bought a Ryker for our son who has rode motorcycles for years but had a stroke four years ago and could no longer operate the clutch or shifter of his bike. Our other son used to ride also but he died of a brian tumor at 23. I think I got a pretty good deal at Iron Pony Motorsports in Columbus, Ohio. It is a left over 2022 with a rebate. They included two red pieces that I am happy with because it makes it more visable to other drivers on the road. The purchase price was $7999, but I did have to pay freight cost. When everything was done tax, doc fee, title and tag it was just under 10 grand. My wife and I had to go to a trike four years ago after my wife battled cancer eight times and now walks with a walker. We still managed to go over 10,000 miles this year. That's way down from previous years, but I think still pretty good considering her conditon. I drove the Ryker home 100 miles, at night, in the rain, and 52 degrees (F) and enjoyed every mile. Such fun might even be illegal. I went between 60 and 70 mph for most of my trip and topped 70 a few times. My trike is a HD and is very hard to steer espeacially in the twisties. But the Ryker was a breeze to steer and barrels of fun. I was a little twitchy at first, but after about 50 miles I was fine. I think what I was doing was pulling back ever so slightly on both ends of the handle bars to keep it from twitching. what ever I was doing worked fine. The HD was a lot harder to get use to and it will wear you out in the twisties. I'm sure our son will have a smile from ear to ear next Summer riding his Ryker. Thanks for your video.

Not what I expected to see when I clicked on this! Happily surprised non the less.I must say thank you.I'm no spring chicken and been around a bit and you reminded me of transactions that bit me in the ass years ago that I had forgotten over the years being it's been many years since I dealt with a dealership.You are 100% correct, with doing your research and securing your own best rate before even talking to them.I found a leftover used for demo-rides with almost no miles on it and almost made an impulse purchase based on price.luckily I caught myself and said I needed a day to think about it and they did everything to keep me on the property but I held my ground and waited.Glad I did because what I didn't realize is the things that sold me on the 2021 quite a few of the features where not on the demo bike that I glossed over on my short ride.Small things,like an actual gas cap and self cancelling blinkers and a few other items but things I expected because I had done some homework and knew they have been upgraded. Which would be costly to try and place on the older model,so the price of the bike with upgrades would have been quite a bit more than a new bike...Buyers remorse averted and like you said done deal move on to the next sucker.I was responsible enough to call the next day and say I wasn't interested in the demo and I'd rather have the 2021and being that I did that they thanked me and are going to give me information on when the next promotion will be so I can get the most bang for my buck through them being that covid has made it quite easy to get one delivered from almost anywhere.I have no problem waiting a few more moments to be happy while spending my money locally...

Great tips and handy tools to consider and shop with. I think someone mentioned already about the windshield, but overall after market or 3rd party shops are coming in cheaper. Example is the dealer is offering the passenger seat - for $400! It's only $299 per the Can-Am site, so watch for dealers marking up to get extra money. You can find a WHOLE lot of brand new items right off Amazon - the beauty there is that Amazon has a great return policy. Dealers will charge restock fees so avoid. I've been surfing slingmods.com and they have some sweet items/accessories, most within a reasonable or competitive price range. You should check the 3-piece touring saddle for what you're looking for...

I haven’t purchased yet, not in a hurry. I sold Luxury cars for almost 20 years so I know a little something about purchasing a car/bike. I think the Spider will be better for me and my needs. I ride 2 up most of the time, so the bigger bike is a must. The wife and I rode my 1997 Valkyrie for years. It was a great bike for us, however about 5 years ago I suffered a stroke which took my ability to balance away. I can drive just fine but that balance thing has ruined our 2 wheel days! I drive a truck about 1200 miles every week with a great safety record. Looking for the rite deal before I make a purchase. These dealers don’t seem to want to budge off the sticker, good for them, but not so good for me!! LOL! Like I said I’m in no big hurry and that’s my advantage!😉

I want the bigger bike with the 1330cc motor. I think it will suite our needs better. The 900 would be better for just me or my wife alone but not for 2 adults in my opinion. The Valkyrie spoiled me, I want the power and the larger bike.

Hey folks, is there a "best time" of the year to buy a NEW Ryker?
@RideAboutNow3 жыл бұрын
That would be anytime. But I would go in the winter and the last week of the month.

Is there anyone doing big performance mods for the Ryker 900? I just feel like 87hp isn't cutting it. For crying out loud a 600cc sport bike makes more power.
@RideAboutNow2 жыл бұрын
Not that I know of in my area. But you can do some after market mods. But I kept mine pretty standard.

Bike looks good but my experience has been awful. Stay away from BRP. Boght the ryker on May 30th. The VSS FAULT LIMP MODE HOME has come on 4 times in less than 5 months. So now im paying on a broken bike because im on a waiting list. To get the bike fixxed. If u haven't purchased anything from BRP. I would not give them a dime. Its just been 1 problem after another. And their customer service is totally crap. Good luck with that. That being said if o could do it all over again. I WOULDN'T!!!!!!!! Bigg June AKA "The Mad Ryker"

Bigg June if I was in your place I would be really upset as well. There is nothing worse than spending your hard earned money and not having to enjoy it and the customer care to act like this. I really hope they can fix it so you can at least ride it or sell it. DM me on Instagram and please let me know the progress. Which city are you in.

Do you have the 2020 model or the 2021? I saw that the 2021 added one more gallon to the gas tank size.

Thanks, I like your videos. I have been considering an F3 model, because of the Ryker mileage cap. I have been looking since this time last year. I have decided to buy the Ryker based on the new model upgrades and the type riding.

@@jkreskey yeah thats nice of BRP to do those upgrades?
@jkreskey3 жыл бұрын
Thanks again for your advise. You got me to do more investigation and based on the bang for the buck. I am looking at a clearance 2020 models. The 3xtra gas tank wasn't true and the only difference between 20 and 21 appears to be a gas cap. Don't think that is worth an extra 1500 dollars in price.

how do you ride one back from dealer in another state? do they put a temporary tag on it?
@RideAboutNow3 жыл бұрын
That is a good question. I don't know. Actually didn't see the dealer part. Yes like Isiah mentioned you have a temp tag from the dealer and the bill of sale.
@isaiahbryant78093 жыл бұрын
You will have a bill of sale it gives you 20 days from that date to get a tag

Trike. 3 wheels is a trike. No matter the configuration.
@RideAboutNow3 жыл бұрын
Call it whatever you want. Sometimes I call it a trike a motorcycle and casually a bike. The ryker is technically a reverse trike.
@1newbert3 жыл бұрын
I call it what it is...a trike. No matter the configuration, if It has 3 wheels (tri) it is a trike. Not a reverse trike. Call it a tadpole layout if you like, but it is still a trike. A bike has two (bi). You can call it a motorcycle because it is a motorized tricycle and “technically” meets the definition.

I love your videos but you’re a left lane hog, you ride with one hand too much to emphasize something. You wouldn’t do that on a motorcycle
@RideAboutNow3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching Malcolm, really appreciate it. I ride in the left lane, true but I always give way if someone is coming up behind be faster than me. Its a habit riding with one hand sometimes when I'm cruising, I do it a lot more with the Harley I purchased 3 months ago those dang cruise controls making me more lazy when I need to be alert and on it.
