Ryker 600

Picking up the Ryker 600 from the Dealer

[@genegoodwin8925]

I've benn riding two wheeled motorcycles since 1964 and from 2002 to 2022 we logged in over 300,000 miles on two wheelers. But my wife's health took a turn to the worst after battling cancer eight times, She's had 12 surgeries in ten years, maxed out on chemo, radiation and cyber knife treatments, She is currently on immunotherapy and will be every 28 days for the rest of her life.
When the cancer in her brain caused her to have seizures we went to three wheels. Our thought was if she had a seizure on a two wheeler it might cause an accident injuring both of us and possibly others. On a three wheeler I think I will be able to pull over and tend to her needs.
All this being said, We bought a Ryker 600 last Christmas for our son who suffered a stroke at age 39 which crippked his left side. He can no longer operate a hand clutch or a foor shfter so we thought the Ryjer is the perfect machine for him.
I rode the Ryker home 100 miles at night, in the rain, and 52 degrees (F) and had a blast. I thought I would miss shifting, but I was having too much fun to miss shifting. I have ridden a Gold Wing trike, Can Am Spyders and I own a Harley Davidson Trike Glide, but I can honestly say the Ryker handles far better than any other three wheeler I've ridden.
I am 70 years old and I am thinking when I trade next time it will be for a Ryker and the 600 had plenty of get up and go for me, no need to go to the 900.
Thank you for this viceo and I hope you and your wife have many years of enjoyment with your Rykers. Ride safely and enjoy every journey..

Thank you so much for the kind words. Great to see you are still on the trike after all those years of riding. My wife is loving hers & looking forward to some longer trips. I can agree they are a fun machine, I'll have another video with a ride on it up soon. All the best to you & your family. Cheers

Good stuff mate nice enjoyable video. ..

Had cancer myself when I was 24, sounds like you've all been through the wars ,glad you are doing better, do you get achy after a ride, cheers Owen.

[@declangeraghty8176]

Do you think there is enough power in the 600 for two people? Thanks for video

[@MidLifeBiker1970]

I think it would. The top speed of her 600 is around 140kmh. If you were looking at this type of bike for 2 I would probably look at the 900 just for a bit more power. Cheers

I'm 65 ,do people get achy after riding one of these, I'm on all sorts of medications, been riding bikes for 50 years.

[@MidLifeBiker1970]

Hi Owen, sorry I haven't replied sooner I've come from holidays. I find the ryker pretty comfortable. My wife had a neck fusion, she takes all typres of meds herself & has no problem with the bike. Very easy to steer & control. Cheers
