I agree it's a good idea to have a spare, in part because the key you use will wear and be difficult to get a working key from once you need it. My working key actually pulled out of the ignition while running, it was so worn.
And definitely take the bike to the hardware store/locksmith/whoever you use to make sure it works. The shop I used had to try a couple of times to get one that worked. So they made a key, I tried it, they remade it, and eventually they got one that worked.
