Most of us had Motorcycles “MOPEDS" which one do you miss the most before the SS

Of the many bikes I've owned over the years, the one I miss the most...my 2012 Can Am Spyder Roadster! It was the first bike (trike) my wife would get on. Although we only had it for 4 years, we put some serious miles on it, which included a ride up to Niagara Falls. It made for some wonderful "together time". We continued the tradition when we traded up to the Slingshot!!!


Even though we miss the Spyder, we're growing more fond of the Slingshot, as well!!

My two triumphs that I sold just before I got the slingshot wife was pregnant so I decided to give them up and get a trike lol I still miss them

I had nearly the same exact machine--2012 R/T base bought new and racked up the miles. I kept it for several months after purchasing SS and found I wasn't riding it much so I sold. Mistake...the SS does NOT satisfy the occasional motorcycle itch. Wound up buying a Harley shortly after.

Looking back, I wish I would have kept the R/T. We are "discussing" the purchase of another "therapy tool". I'm leaning toward another Spyder. I just want to make sure whatever we decide on gets as much playtime as the SS!

Those are some gorgeous machines. I think I would have balked on letting them go! LOL!!!

Allstate gives a multi bike discount..The SS was fairly cheap and it was only something like 80 bucks more for full coverage on a 2 wheeler also.

I was 27 when I got the ss I have gotten one big speeding ticket on my sport bike so insurance was a bit high on my side and once my son was born I told my wife to quit her good paying job to stay home with our son so it's another reason why I have both up to have some extra money for the never ending baby spending money heh

These would be the two that I miss the most and My Wife and Grand daughter loved to ride both of them .
Slow warm up to the Concouse 1400 but it and the HD Limited were Grand in the Mountains...

Passed by this thread and figured i bring it to life since I haven't seen the inside of my slingshot for about a week , working on a couple different 2 wheel bikes.... about 3 more of these 2 wheelers and then back to working on slingshots

I had a 2007 Blue Suzuki SV650 (bought used with around 4000 miles) and a 2008 Yellow & Black Suzuki V-Strom 650 (bought new). Both had the same 90 degree V-Twin motor, but I preferred the SV650 for its overall handling, stability and ABS. When I finally quit riding in early 2015, a few months before I finally got my Slingshot, I had over 60,000 miles on each bike. That SV650 was an excellent all-around bike. Many SV650 owners switched to the SV650 because of its easy maintenance, great handling and low insurance cost.

Obviously I must have had a yen for three wheelers even way back then!

Of all the bikes I had, I think this one is the one I miss the most. I loved this bike.

My 1985 Kawasaki GPz750. I bought this bike in 1986 and a buddy of mine just talked me out of it last year.

While I still have it; I don't ride it much and do miss spending time on it... My 2011 Triumph Rocket 3 Touring...

I think the one that I miss the most is the V-65 Honda, what a HOT ROD. 125mph on the 1/2 mile straight every day in front of my house.

I rode a moped named Flame for 4 years when stationed at NAS Gitmo. It was a nice ride to the ferry then across the bay to the air station in the morning. I wore Flame out in those four years. She was the fastest moped on the base and I enjoyed catching and passing the other ones. They were all the same brand and model sold by the exchange but for some reason she was fast and not even red.
