I’ve gone from two wheels, to one of these. No more anxiety about dropping my bike! Have had to weather the comments - “that’s not a REAL bike!”, “that’s an old lady bike!”, but have had many more, “what a COOL bike!”. Have also been able to take people out for rides, something I never did on two wheels! What a thrill to see my 90 year old mother-in-law, on the back grinning from ear to ear! Im absolutely loving my Spyder!
That's awesome! Anyone that makes fun of a Can Am has never ridden one. Keep riding! Also, check out my new RUclips channel, The Gimpy Garage. Brand new for all riders, Can Am and all. Content coming in 2018.
Ride whatever you have fun with bro. Good on you for taking nana out!
Alison McKenzie We have all dropped a bike. Still didnt ride around with anxiety about it.
"What a thrill to see my 90 year old mother-in-law, on the back grinning from ear to ear!"
THAT is cool!
Alison McKenzie With idiotic comments coming from motorcyclists they are obviously insecure about themselves. You don’t NEED issues to buy a Can Am.
Real men ride whatever the hell they want without caring what other people think.
As do real women. Enjoy!!!!!
Damn right, Zach
Hell yea!
Word!!
My father rode bikes for awhile. After a nasty crash and numerous surgeries, he has a Spyder now. We are back to riding again. He loves bikes but knows riding them again isn't going to happen. At least he is back in the saddle and enjoying the wind.
So for all you crap talkers, hope Karma doesn't bite you and three wheels aren't your only option!
Ride on!
So I got Airborne knees.
I bought a 2013 RT Limited.
Let the haters hate.
I ride Big Sur a few times a year and Love trhe life I live.
AATW
If you ain’t Airborne, you ain’t shit!
I hear you, my knees sound like a bag of popcorn in the microwave.
I've been riding CanAm Spyders since 2o14. Reason I bought one is that I can use my car driving license, so no need to go to "school". Besides, my better half feels safer on the RT than she used to feel sitting on a regular mc.
As with most things, some will hate the thing and some will love it, I belong to the last group.
However, notice while out riding, it's mostly Harley owners that don't raise the hand to wave back as you meet on the road. But that's alright, I hear it's cause they don't dare let go the handlebar due to risk of wobbling ! Just kidding, whatever floats your boat, we're all different. Enjoy the road all
You can seriously use your car license to drive one of these? You don't have to take a class or have a motorcycle license?
@@mistyrain68ify I think there are only a couple states that allow that. Most of the country does require a motorcycle license. And honestly, using a handgrip throttle and being on the open road, I agree that the motorcycle license makes sense.
@@aaronswords404 most countries do not need a motocycle licence. Just a 7 hour course
What if the reason for getting one is, been on two wheels for 40 years, these things are cool and different. I wanted something different . I don’t need to be on three wheels, but it’s very fun and different. I have a “2016 F3T manual transmission. Love it
One shouldn’t have to explain one self to ne 1, one should ride what one pleases, I own 2bikes, a harley soft tail springer, n a Honda vtx 1800, ppl shouldn’t dictate what others should ride, I think everyone should mind their own business, n let everyone else be, it’s that’s simple, should use that in every aspect ov life, have a nice peaceful life😀
what boring bikes
That’s the problem ppl don’t mind their business, always lookin out the window seeing who’s moving into their neighborhoods, what type of job they have, what type of car etc!!!! You’re right- I would never knock another man’s enjoyment- if you want to blow your money at the strip club; hell you worked for it, go ahead hahahahahahahaha!!! Just don’t talk shit when you’re broke ASF
Sages604 I hear ya brother; just remember you’ll pass them when they’re laying on the ground and their leg and arm skin is two blocks back. See ya out there
Love the Spyder! I have major spine problems as well but with the power steering and all of the safety features plus the smooth ride, I think this would be my best option to get back on the road again, something I haven't done for a long long time.
Can drive on country roads and snowy roads..great. Would like to see an all wheel drive on/off road with higher ground clearance and lighter. A cross between a spyder and side by side utv.
Don't think for a second this is a trike for Grandpa... you can drift the back end around corners and have a blast on these. I love riding my dad's Spyder RTS!
I have a 2013 Can Am RS and my wife has a 2015 Can Am F3. Both bikes look great. They are both black. My bike has the 998cc and my wife has the 1330cc motor in hers. Both bikes are very safe, very fast, and turn heads. I rode mine in the rain for 3 hours and was doing 75 mph most of the way. I didn't hydroplane and it stuck to the road. The downside is the current cost of accessories. Buy a good used one with alot of accessories added. I added the saddlebags and a aftermarket trailer hitch to my 2013. We are very pleased with the bikes.
No need to explain YOUR vehicle to ANYONE.
Most people with something disparaging to say about your ride are envious, and envy is a difficult emotion to manage, so they project their self-hatred at you. The ones who are not envious, are ignorant. I think that takes care of everyone... Nice bike!!!
It is no a coincendence that it is similar to a snowmobile. This company, they made the Ski-Doo, then the Sea-Doo, BRP could have named this the Stre-Doo without a second thought, if it had only occurred to them...
I'm quite scared to go test drive one. Scared I might actually come home with one! Kinda glad I only have a one car garage, LOL!
Getting ready to trade my Ryker for a Spyder and sell my Harley in the spring. Bad knees keep me from two wheels. I despise a motorcycle SNOB. Just ride and be happy. Yes, three wheels take away stress in riding. Hard to get used to no shift or hand braking. Practice builds confidence.
My wife and I were looking at Can Am's and Polaris Sling shots when visiting my daughter in Florida. We were at a Dealership in Ft Meyers, FL. The Salesman probably around my age "60" told me to be honest, he sold Can Am's to folks and had them returned. He never had a Polaris returned. He did not think I'd like one. Turns out, I just purchased a Mustang Convertible as my wife won't ride on my FJR. As long as I can hold a two wheeled bike up, I'll stick with two wheels.
This would be good for me. I love bikes but after a brain injury my balance isn't quite good enough for 2 wheels.
I am 28 I have a brittle bone condition called osteogenesis imperfecta sp basically my bones break like glass. I want a bike so bad but am worried about dropping it at a light and snapping my legs like a twig. I have been looking at can-ams but I dont think I could ever afford one they are kinda pricey. It's a dream but that's it.
I've been riding for 53 years and now can't balance as well and I'd hate to fall off. I understand your concern with 2 wheels, but I'd recommend finding a nice 4-6 year old Spyder which would be half the new price. Great place to buy used with a guarantee is National Power Sports. They'll ship anywhere worldwide.
they just released the Ryker, starts at 8500 and looks sweet
My mom is 79. Her and dad rode snowmobiles for years. She would love one of these.
Much better than a conventional trike. When you jam on the brakes, the weight transitions forward and it gets more stable, not less stable like a conventional trike. You can also see the wide part of your bike, so it's easier to navigate around obstacles. And you can corner like a maniac if you get your body down and lean into it hard.
I've wondered which was safer, 2 wheels in front or 2 in back. I've different responses from different people.
I have a 2016 F3 and I freaking love it. My is black and I have the removable backrest for the wife. I get more people looking at my ride then any of the Harleys I ride with. With my ram air kit and the new computer box my ride was dyno’d at 138hp. I easily keep up with all in the group. My spyder will do corners faster than you are willing to do them. I have since sold my customer cruiser.
Craig C Do/can you wear your Harley gear riding one? I own a Ridley autoglide, but I'm looking into the Spyder, I wanted to get a Harley leather jacket I like, but the hubby says I can't wear the jacket & ride it bc some people will get pissed if they see that.... What's your opinion?
Craig, if you want people looking at you at the next bike night try wearing a dress.
We love our 2019 Spyder RT Limited!! I ride my RoadGlide mostly but occasionally my wife lets me take her Spyder out lol.
I had ridden yamaha Vmax 1200 for ten years when i started medical issues its better for myself and the wife enjoys it is so comfortable
I ride in a veterans club. Most of the guys including me ride two wheels. The guys who ride trikes almost always have bad knees. More power to them they are still my MC brothers. Still rib them though, wait till its my turn.
I have injuries from Iraq and riding my bike is limited due to spinal issues but I feel I could be out more if I had a Can Am. I miss SRKcycles..... sniff...sniff
So you’ve been riding all your life, are now 60+ and arthritis sets in. (All over!)
Have to ditch 2 wheeler and hop on this trike. So when you see an old dude (like me) see if you can tell their age!
Sorry, this is made for us!
My wife and I are 38 and she owns a Spyder she doesn’t have the balance I do. I love her Spyder and I ride a 2 wheeled Harley RoadGlide.
arthritis help rt here
Rock on!!💯✌👊🏻
I have a 2010 limited ,I had my first street bike when I was 16 . Not a lot of women on bikes on the street in 86’ . I’ve owned about 10 different bikes over the years . My can am has like 46 thousand miles on it , I usually just saddle up for big trips , on a nice night I’ll hit up lake shore drive . I rode my bike out to Washington (from Chicago area) rode the 101 down the coast to L.A . While out I caught some slack here and there from other riders (mostly at Sturgis) my favorite thing to say is “yeah but I like to ride my bike to more than to just the bar”. Usually shuts their mouth but if they are really are an ass I’ll usually pop off with “but I don’t own a trailer “ haha . I have yet to find someone who actually didn’t trailer they’re bike . I totally parked my bike on the row in sturgis too because I can 😁 Let the Haters hate and call them out on they’re attempt to bully maybe they won’t do it to the next person. This is the most comfortable, safe bike I’ve ever owned . I can ride 10 hour plus jump back on the next day and do it again excited and not hurting ,I hardly ever ride on a expressway . I just changed my battery the other day which haha can am changed where it’s located in 2013 because not that fun to do on my bike but I think my bike is made of more durable materials than the new design sooooo this is why I havnt traded the old girl in . When I went to the dealer we side by sided them , she won . I’ve yet to hear a can am owner complain about anything
as a person who did own a Spyder RST ( a 2010 model btw) I found a few things wrong with your video 1 it is not a fully automatic trans . it s semi auto ( you shifted up at 0:53) 2) i did buy it to acculmate my self to rding a biger bike I had a 600 CC scooter and i now ride a 1,700 CC Harley trike so it did help me make the transition from the 600 cc bike to the 1700 bike 3) the front wheel came up alot on me when i was going 50+MPH with very high cross winds
It is hard to avoid a pot hole with a 3 wheeler, at least you will not drop it.
You don't have to wait to start the the F3 series and this includes most of the triples. Ignition switch ON, push the ECO button, push the start button and it will start immediately. It still takes a while for the display to fire up, but you can start and drive it away if you want before the display kicks in.
Im almost 40 and im ready to purchase one.... Some reason it look fun and im not into all that need for speed for motorcycles even tho i have a motorcyle
I'm in love with mine because it takes me back to my snowmobiling days. I have a harley soft tail custom too.
No one needs to justify the bike they ride. I say ride the bike that suits the type of riding you do; commuting, open road, touring, weekend warrior whatever. In my case I have two bikes, a Kawasaki Voyager 1700 which is a great cruiser for the open road. I also have a Suzuki Burgman 650 scooter which can handle the open road and the city but doesn't have the cruiser look or feel. I enjoy them both. I'm 65 and fully abled but I realise that at some point in the not too distant future I may have to give up the Kawasaki as it is heavy at nearly 400kgs wet. When that happens I will look at a Spyder as I think all the inbuilt safety and stability features make them superior to the 2 wheels on the back no matter who has made the machine. I've ridden the Spyder RT and it was great experience.
Rented the new F3 Spider for Memorial Day Weekend. It was one fun ass weekend, let me tell you. I have not ridden anything really since 2004 because I almost lost my foot in a bad accident, typical hit by a drunk drive and left for dead, and these thing is just as much fun as a bike, and feels a little safer up to the speed of 55mph. It is fun, easy to ride, dont have to worry about dropping it, switching gears, it is fast as hell, and it has a sweet radio. You just gas in and go.
HOWEVER, after the speed of 55mph and plus, you get a little worried because it literally feels like you are riding a quad on the street. There is no lean, you have to go wide into the turns, so if you have to dip, lean, or and swerve out of the way of something like you can on a regular motorcycle at high speeds, it isn't going to happen. You have to be very careful at high speeds. I did not even bother going on the highway with mine because it does feel that odd, but it was so much fun around town and on the major cross roads were speeds are also 45 and 55 mph. I just did not feel safe taking it on the Jersey Turnpike because that is like the Autoban of New Jersey and you have to do 75 just to keep up.
I really *want* to like these. Motorcyclist for 20 years. Tried the first Spyder and hated it. Steering was incredibly twitchy and felt very mushy, unstable and unsafe in corners. I hope the newer ones are better.
for people with disabilities these things are great. these are what i'm looking into to start riding again.
Yeah I'm wondering if there would be a way to throw my wheelchair on the back. I'm pretty strong and I wonder if there was some kinda mount to throw my wheelchair on and ride
I was in a motorcycle accident and can't hold up a touring bike anymore so I wanted a trike. I tried the Tri-Glide and it was SO horrible in curves. I thought not a chance on a spyder, I test drove one and was WOW, waaaaay wrong.. I ended up buying a RT Limited
Some states consider this an "Autocycle" which only needs a driver's license in DE and PA. Problems happen when you drive into a state that considers these motorcycles, and you don't have a motorcycle endorsement.
I bet that Can am would be comfortable on long trips. I rode a Goldwing for a long time and it took the life out of me on long trips because it weighed 750 lbs. It's like riding a water buffalo. You can't relax on a heavy motorcycle. All it takes is one mistake and you go down on the asphalt and it's not like a little light weight dirt bike those big bikes go down hard. With with Harley design you're actually sitting behind the engine it has a lower center of gravity. I kind of like the comfort of driving my truck on long trips. Nice to have a drink holder to hold the coffee and cruise and relax and turn on the air-conditioning and CD player and all that happy stuff.
I order to ride a can am spyder , you have to get an un limited R class licence in Australia . Basically unless you have your full unlimited licences on 2 wheels you can not ride 1 .
I'm more of a bike enthusiast. I don't have a need for a car. I drive a truck, but if I were to buy a bike. I would definitely look at a Can-Am Spyder. I have always liked them. With one of these I could go for a long weekend get away. Just relax, and spend a lot less on fuel.
I still think it's funny how controversial these are after all the riding machines (street/dirt) that have been out since the 70's. It's just riding.
Lol you lost me at "good looking Can-Am." Love the rest of your content. Keep doing what you do!
How many miles per tank do you get, the new ones have a 6.9 gal tank. And do you really have to put premium gas in it?
It's great my grand pa is 80 with no legs he uses his cane to Push the brakes
Trading two wheels for three. I just can’t get 100% confident on my two. These Spyders are cool. If all goes well I’m buying the pearl white, going to check it out this weekend! Thanks for the video.
I want one of those canam spyders
My 67 year old mom bought 1 16 months ago. She loves it.
Marvin Johnson Isn’t she a tad young for a CanAm?
my 100 year old gammy bought one and she loves showing off
3:19 A roundabout! I didn't think you had them in US.
Yep, we do! You just don't find them everywhere. They have been popping up more lately where I live.
go to aspen, cali, get out more....
I rode motorcycles on the street for 45 years, but am now disabled, and I no longer believe I can safely handle a large motorcycle, especially in town and parking lots. I didn't care for the Spyder, and instead chose the H-D Tri-Glide. On the open road it feels just like riding a motorcycle, you still shift it, the only time you notice the difference is in curves and corners, when it tries to lean the wrong way. For those who can no longer ride, a convertible car is also an option, and it doesn't have to cost $100K. I absolutely love the Mazda Miata, with a manual transmission, unfortunately it's just a bit cramped for me (I weigh 240
pounds) I can see myself riding the Harley for the rest of my life, until I wind up in a nursing home.
I have tried these and they are a nice machine. The ride is closer to a snow machine then a motorcycle though. You still get air and a sense of freedom but you don't ride it like a bike. You ride it like a Skidoo.
Just be careful when your going to pass the car in front of you,you are in the middle of the vehicle,that left wheel sticks out a fair bit more to the left then say a car would,so when you try to see if someone is coming in the opposite lane that wheel is on the other side of the center line...I am surprised that there’s not much talk about this,there’s a fair amount of collisions that happens that way.
I rode one when they first came out - interesting, but not for me. Not sure what I'll do when I'm no longer able to ride a bike - 73 now and 2 of my 3 bikes have Handicap tags (the 3rd has Antique tags), but I don't think that the Spyder will be my solution. One of the reason that there's so many different vehicles out there is that there are so many different people. Ride what makes you smile.
I've ridden two trikes. A Harley and a CanAm. Both are decent machines if you're into that kind of thing. After 40+ years of riding two wheelers, they were just different enough to keep me from warming up to them. Maybe with more experience I'd feel better about them but I'm certainly not willing to fork over the cash to find out. Bottom line is, it confirmed an attitude I've had for a very long time. I'm just not keen on vehicles with an odd number of wheels. Mind you, that's not a dig against any trike. I've known a lot of folks that ride them and love them and I'm totally cool with that. They're just not for me.
that may change when you try a tilting trike
I agree with you Steven.
I have ridden both types, front/rear styles. I found rear wheel trikes on rough terrain riding slow the handlebars want to move back forth rapidly. A function of inertia on the front wheel being tilted back and forth. This disappears at over 25 kph. A non issue on the spyder . Got my first spyder in 13, had it for a month, back to a Yamaha 950 then a 1300 Yamaha then my present spyder a 2016. think that is the way to go for a 75 yr old. I like the wind, the openness. and even the rain.
BRP did a lot of things right but also did a few bad things like the traction control and most of the other electronics. it's extremely difficult to roll a reverse trike as it is to roll a car or truck. reliability really suffers due to electronic failures. I think much of the CanAm was designed by lawyers not engineers. However conceptually they nailed it, great for young sport minded individuals who want to get that sports car feel but still ride a motorcycle. Great for back roads and adventure riding. Unfortunately convention trikes have tainted the idea of a sport trike where it's supposedly designed for those older guys with bad knees etc. While this is part of the target market for sure women and again young minded sport riders are in BRP's sights. Automatic transmission is 80 years behind cars and it's about time we moved into the 1950's. It is very much like a snowmobile and if you have ever ridden snowmobiles they are a blast and fun for all ages.
Snowmobiles are awesome! So much fun to ride!
Reverse trikes are much more sporty riding than a standard backwards trike. It's not a compromise rather and extension of motorcycling as reverse trikes will go places no biker will go - gravel, dirt and everything in between. This is the future for motorcycling. Now if they just dump all the electronic lawyer controls. I build custom reverse trikes and will agree the people who struggle riding one are the lifelong bikers as they expect leaning and have problems figuring out how to ride. Anyone who has ridden snowmobiles or ATV's will catch on right away and probably never go back on two wheels as that is a step down from this type of machine. CanAm has the right idea and will continue to prosper.
How cool would it be if can am came out with an ADV style spider, some ground clearance , bash guards, dual purpose tires , off road suspension etc. Any way I think these are pretty cool rigs even though they aren't my cup o tea!
Looks pretty fun to me
Fair point of view.. very croozy .. but price .. how is it for people with lumbar back problems.. your point of view appreciated. Cheers
I have seen these machines on the road when I am riding my motorcycle. I know nothing about them except I think they are a bit noisy. Rotax is a good enough engine but a bit noisy for me. The exhaust note is very different to me than a v-twin bike.
The mobility scooter of the future
They won't let me ride it in Walmart. 😞
Having one of these with gas and braking on the handles would be awesome though.
The Kenny Powers special
Side note: ride whatever you want. I’ve never been interested in getting one, but I know a few people with disabilities who can only get this close to riding a motorcycle. If you have fun on it or if it’s the closest to a bike your body will let you get into, go for it.
Why do I find myself fascinated more with the area and the views more than the Can-Am?! The place looks gorgeous!
Gosh I want that can am but just can’t afford it I can’t wate to get one red is awesome god bless you guys I will buy from you when I can
The lean and getting your knee down whilst cornering was the best part of riding bikes for me (unfortunately I had an accident and broke 5 vertebrae and was paralysed). I think something like this could get me back on the road instead of a car because we all know unless you have a 100k supercar then cars are boring as fuck compared to bikes.
Howzer The man go for it mate, I'm disable my self, L4/L5 are fcuk, still have use of my leg's but can't drive due to trapped nerve's, if you can, as I say go for it.
I think you will love the cycle ! you might try it with the back rest some aftermarket product along these lines , I have the 2012 with the clutch , but ride with a lot of people with the automatic , and they have a blast !
I have one a 2015 RT-S. Best thing ever. I have issues with my hip and trying hold up a 900lb bike is not a good idea. I love my spyder. No holding the bike up at stops. No need to hold the clutch handle in. Only have to shift up with the push of a button and it downshifts itself. Only one pedal to work all the brakes. When I get stuck in the traffic jams of Seattle it is so nice to be able to relax and not worry about clutches burning up or falling over. You still have to lean in the turns but it is more like riding a ATV quad. They also have a kit to move the brakes to the handlebars also which would be perfect for you.
I can still handle my big cruiser, but I'll be 58 this year and although healthy now, you never know what the future holds. Good to have choices to stay out in the open air.
Sir Tristen I know your point is salient but if youre saying he got hurt once so should get out of it before it happens again or worse.... well that defies the human spirit.
Me I had 7 bikes before age 25 went down a couple times with a few painful injuries that healed. By the last one (yammie fj1100 when they were current) I wanted to race every day but was pretty skilled. A friend with the same bike got a head on with a car both doing 70mph. Was in the hospital for a year with dozens of surgeries. After visiting him I never started my bike again. Did buy a corvette and didnt slow down.
Much.
I have always had regular motorcycles and just for fun last year I took a Can-Am for a ride. I did not like the handling. The steering is too sensitive and too quick. Felt like it would be really easy to roll yourself over if you aren't careful on the highway
I see you pressing a button on the left handlebar console to shift. Beautiful Nghbrhds!
Great for people that can't ride an ordinary motorcycle for one reason or another. My friend had a head-on with a car on his Triumph Daytona and got really smashed up. He's now got one of these things and at least he's back in the saddle. He'll never ride a 2 wheeler again due to the result of his injuries ......................
It's like a jetski, for the street.
Mike Fu more like a snowmobile
Mike Fu yeah but it would hurt more if you crashed LOL
Mike Fu snowmobile
It's like a car, for the man who wants to get rained on and ignored by car drivers.
funnily enough car drivers dont ignore them at all....in fact ive never ever had a machine which attracts so much attention from non riders.....the common thing is "is that as much fun as it looks?" and they are....
the comment you made at 2:10 i disagree with. that was the reason i bought a Spyder. today i ride a Harley Davidson trike . So the 20,000/ 4 years i had the Spyder helped prepare me for the H/D trike
Are these 3 wheelers legal on American expressways/highways ?
Yes they are
I bought three. two of the RST SEM 5 speed in 2010. They are great bikes to ride and safe. The problem is the customer service. If anything goes wrong or blows off the bike CanAm will blame you. BRP/CanAm knew there was a problem because they created new grommets for the plastic ($120) CanAm cover on the left side of the bike that kept blowing off. Guess What? Instead of CanAm giving 2010 owners the grommets they charged you. My Covers blew off a total of three times so I ended up creating a Velcro hold that you could not see without close inspection. CanAm continued to blame us saying that we must've changed the oil and not replaced the cover correctly. Luckily we bought our bikes at Central Florida Power Sports whose customer service is absolutely outstanding. The 2010 - 2013 Spyders also were designed with the hot engine air blowing directly onto the rider. Imagine sitting at a red light in July in Florida...your sooo happy when that light turns green! CanAm cam out with some cowling that redirected the hot air off the rider. Nope no discount. I spent over $120,000 on the three bikes and do you think the French Canadians cared, NOPE!!! Their greedy POS's that want your money but could care less about you. The Gas tank held 4 gallons and the heavy bike only got 25 miles to the gallon, I worked in Tampa, 52 miles from home. Since then CanAm has added a sixth gear and made the tank bigger (6 gals). My wife got the premier edition #390 since we were the first in Florida to order one. Oh, you'll also need a trickle charger since the battery goes dead if the bike sits longer than 3 days without riding it. Can't wait until a customer friendly bike mfg comes out with something comparable to the spyder. I was hoping Honda would come out with a similar concept with storage space etc. but everyone else keeps thinking inside the box.If Honda just copied CanAms design but took out all the problems that the spyders have they'd have a number one selling two wheels up front awesome motorcycle!If you are going to buy a Spyder I warn you BUYER BEWARE! Also, make sure whoever is telling you that the Spyder and CanAM company is great isn't one of the people that CanAm gives free bikes to to advertise how great they are and form clubs. CanAm Customer Service SUCKS! write Honda and ask them to create a bike similar to the spyder, i.e. the Honda WASP. It'll be less expensive and you'll get accompany that stands behind their product.I GOT RID OF ALL MY CANAM/BRP PRODUCTS AND WILL NEVER NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER PRODUCT MADE BY CANAM/BRP AGAIN.
Great audio, what are you using?
Test driving Spyder and Ryker on Friday to see which one I prefer.
Check for re calls for gas caps , gas lines ,, break lines for potential fire hazards ,, my 2013 exploded into a fireball
being disabled now i hope to get one of these one day
I really wanted thought I'd get a used RT because the prices were right but does anyone else find that the older models require sitting in an uncomfortable way? My legs have to bend back in a difficult way just to use the brake pedal.
I've always thought they just found a way to sell snowmobiles year round.
@@dpvp8377 The only SkiDoo I spent much time on was old then, and I was just a kid. It was a mono-ski...with twin tracks. Kinda the opposite of now. It was old and beat up, but ran good and was fun as hell when there wasn't much else to do outside in the snow. It wasn't even mine, it was the neighbor kid's but he wasn't big enough to ride it alone yet, so together we rode hell out of it.
No need to explain my condition as I have none. 25 years old. 2016 spider rts. Wonderful experience for what it was made for.
That looks cool! I know the kids would be excited if I brought home. Wish I could get one cheap.
What is. the lowest cc. Cam Am I can buy and how much will it probably coast
I'd rather have a three-wheel sports bike. But I would own a Can-Am. I have muscular dystrophy at 36yo. so I'd fall and drop a bike a bunch of times. And I doubt I can pick up a 250 off the ground.
I'd rather have a Polaris slingshot where you can sit back and they are all waterproof. And you can have a passenger sit side-by side. I personally prefer that over a Can-Am. Just my two cents!
This is for the guy that allows two riders to sit behind him, and they don't have to designate who will stabilize it at a stop light. Kidding!!!
Good looking vehicle. I can see myself in one after my balance goes....
Summer-time "snowmobile"............Winter SUCKS! But if this gets you through the summer season; I guess...... what Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pretty nice machine.
Just out of curiosity, what is the MPG average on something like that? Anyone know?
My husband gets between 30 and 40 mpg with his
@@sherrillchic , thanks for the reply!
That's a very good presentation, great comments. Thanks for posting.
Love snowmobiling.. Winters get shorter and shorter. Move to the street.
cool will high winds effect it much. I have seen guys on them plastic lightweights motor bikes in western Kansas barely stay on the road
Best part of these is the Aprilia motor, but I don't like 3 wheelers, way differant than motorcycle.
It’s all about the breeze on yer knees😇
I been on fast quads since 1987 ...thats my attraction
It's not a motorcycle... it's a reverse trike and just like you said, it's a different product. Good review !!
no one said it was...
Great video,been wondering about theses things..
was hopeing ya seen the suv when you left the stop sign
One night in Calif as I walked out of a favorite watering hole (bar) I saw parked in the from a trike. Now this was back in the early 70's it had a single front wheel with 2 in the rear. Powered by a small block Chevy. I was talking with the owner of it & of course I had to ask how fast is answer was classic he didn't know because he wasn't about to find out. He admitted that he lost his nerve at around 120 mph. I said I didn't blame him, he said that at 120 it was pulling so hard that around 100 was when he decided that it was going to go so fast he really didn't want to be on it. The acceleration must have taken ones breath away even stock with the right gears it probably topped 200. To fast for the freeways even then when they were in good shape
try lane- splitting with that...tear sidemirrors off in no time....
Last I checked California is the only state lane splitting is even legal.
