My impression of the 2025 Can Am model release
This video is my take on the 2025 Can Am model release. Not too many updates to existing models but they did introduce a new model trike. I find it strange that there was no warning on this new model. Now they have hinted for years about the electric motorcycles so that wasn't a surprise. I know it's a little long but there was a lot to comment on. I can wait to see some real world reviews of these new models. So far I have only seen the electric motorcycles in actual use and only online. I hope they do well.
Ride safe and I'll see you in the next one.

Went to the shop to get the Can Am Spyder inspected and then it went south from there. I know states vary in the regulations for motor vehicles but here in NYS you have to get your vehicles inspected every year.

    I’m getting a lot of pressure to get a F3 instead. Lots of people keep telling me that I’ll end up wanting an F3 in less than a year of owning the Ryker. It’s frustrating me because I don’t want an F3. Too big too bulky for my taste. It’s like the Goldwing of trikes. I’m looking for something lighter and more sporty. I always come to your channel whenever I need cheering up. Question? Do you think the Ryker Rally and sport models are that drastically different? As far as height goes. I’m 6’7” and every inch of seat height I can get I’ll appreciate. I have not urge to go off road. Mostly twisty turns and hill country roads. Franks & Knishes Best wishes!

    • @SIRyker
      @SIRyker 14 дней назад

      First yes they are very different. The only question you have to ask is what do you want to do with your machine. If it’s a question of money then you shouldn’t get either one these are toys. If all you want to do is bop around town by yourself then the Ryker is for you because while it can do more it doesn’t do more well. The Spyder t and up, is for travel or more than one person. I have both and each brings out a different side of my personality. These are the type of questions you have to ask and answer yourself. You can ask me what they can do but I can’t answer what they will do FOR you. Hope that helps. The sport and rally are essentially the same on road off road there is a limited difference. I’m not as tall as you so sit on it and see how it fits.

    I saw the release video of the new line up. I bought my 2022 Ryker Rally here in Puerto Rico in 2023. It cost me $16,000 , without any additions. The add on made the cost more. So the new Cannon base price would be closer to $30,000 to start here. Never mind the other models. It also depends on how often would you ride it off road here, for the cost you would pay. They really didn’t do anything for the basic model of the Ryker. It is still the same old model. You are right about changing the pac man panels on the Ryker. I would have preferred a little bit more metal on the Rykers and less plastic, ie. The fenders. I didn’t like the electric bikes, for the money you spend , you can’t go far or as fast as a gas bike. Also the down time to re barge is not worth it for me , for the money you would spend. I think we are still in the “ Model T”, stage! Thanks for your review. I will keep my 2022 Ryker Rally , and any upholstery I want , I will add on. W. Michael Pinket

    I think the F3 and RT should come with gas adjustable shocks all round as standard together with the upgraded antiroll bar. The dash should also be more modern and with up to date technology, preferably digital opposed to analogue resembling something from the stone age. It seems Can Am need to move more with the times, and cater for the Android segment of society maybe include usb slots on the dash as standard for charging and running peripheral items. I think when people are paying big bucks/pounds they expect these things to be standard rather than having to open the wallet/bill fold again to make these after market purchases. The new Canyon model looks good and I feel has a bit of a military look about it, maybe a couple of machine guns either side would finish it off nicely! Only kidding 😂👍

They are have announced for March 2025 at dealer ( an adventure trike) The issue is that they have 1330cc for off road , that make it very heavy for trail and premium gaz only , have fun finding premium with the smaller back countries towns, maybe to drive to somewhere like Alaska but i know people have done it on the ryker rally ( does this mean the rally will disappear to push the Canyon . ...

      The price isn’t really the problem. Kitting a bike out can add up really fast and it might be more practical and cheaper to just get it all up front. It all fits and works together is a side benefit. BRP has always made small increments and the lack of stuff for the Ryker is a reflection of trying to keep the cost down. Even changing the screen will require a new computer and wiring ect. It will be updated at some point hopefully by the time you are ready to replace what you have.i saw Ryan f9 review as well seems range is the problem

      @SIRyker 19 дней назад

      @@SinatraKennedy there isn’t a problem with the gas gauge it the design of the tank itself. The gauge only starts working after you burn the first gallon then it starts working for the next 3 gallons and then it won’t read the last gallon or so. Long story short reset the trip meter every fill up and then use some common sense when the gas gauge gets low as you only have a couple of gallons left. It’s one of those things you get used to. As long as you understand how the gauge actually works you will be fine . The mileage method also works just need to get experience to know how many miles you go and how much gas you used to get there.

    Good to see you back SI. I agree the importance of setting those belt tolerances correctly to avoid excessive wear. One thing I don't like about the Spyder and Ryker is the belt drive. I would much preflare chain and sprockets or shaft drive but it seems they don't make them for the Can Am? Also, I am also very cautious when it comes to braking, I know that if your pads wear unevenly then your can cause uneven disc wear which would ultimately make the bike pull to one side when braking.

    • @SIRyker
      @SIRyker 19 дней назад

      I think that the big distance between the drive shaft and the wheel would make for problems with a chain drive. Not to mention that chains require maintenance which the belt doesn’t. It’s the old adage there are no solutions only compromises. The Ryker is shaft drive so that’s a completely different animal lol.

      @@douglasmckay5968 I would love to but I can’t as I don’t have one for my Ryker. That being said I’m sure for a short ride it would be fine but I don’t think the experience would be as pleasant as say on an RT OR F3. The Ryker is small and having a passenger sitting that high and far back would throw off the balance and hence the handling. Also taking into account how big you and passenger are you might bottom out the suspension. If two up is in the future I would go with a bigger trike. I have road two up on my Spyder and it’s not to bad. That’s just my opinion take it for what it is.

    “Motorcycle ownership is an additive, not a reductive process” Brilliant! You should get that printed on some merch for your channel 😏 Whether on two or three wheels, addition and multiplication (whether physical or emotional), will always equal increased riding enjoyment. And like you said, when on three wheels, for the most part (usually zero) it has the natural effect of less opportunities for dropping or falling off a bike. Thanks for the entertaining and on point video. May you continue to adapt your garage so it continues to be reflective of (and filled to match) your unique inventory of Multiple Personality Disorders 🙂

    My reason for getting a Ryker sport 900? I was looking at two wheeled bikes and my dad said he would buy it for me (no financing!!) but only if it has 3 wheels. So I started looking at trikes. I landed on the Rykers. Thanks to your videos I’ve eliminated the 600 and the Rally. I’m also 6’7” 240. I’m now 100% convinced a 2024 Ryker sport is for me. Thanks so much for these videos. I’m living in Texas now, but I was born in Bethpage Long Island. So I really enjoy listening to you talk. I’m working on my gear right now, and pick up my bike in 2 months, it’s coming straight from the Can-Am factory in Dallas. I’m getting it blacked out. Thanks to your videos I know what mods to get and the ones not to get. I should also mention that I’m 55 and my parents are (from Brooklyn) in there late 80’s. It’s a no brainer. Get 3 wheels and it’s free! Get 2 wheels and have to rely on financing. Thanks again! Frank’s & Knish’s best wishes!
