Been riding for 30 years, had a canam for the last 2 summers. Every summer of the last 30 years I take a 10-14 day trip riding 4-500 miles a day, and I endorse every single word in this video. Thought I had to give up riding due to bad knees, my Spyder has given me a new life.
I never thought that I would own a three wheel. I have ridden two wheels over 50 years and taught motorcycle safety for over 35 years. I have not been a three wheel bike rider. I now have two Can Am Spyder’s. One for me and one for my wife. I am an old fart and my knees do not work well. I studied the different three wheel combination available and decided that Can Am is the safest and most fun to ride. My wife wanted my first Can Am so I went got one for me. Now we ride together. It is great.
I've had my 883L Harley since '07 when they first came out. A Suzuki 650 before that. After my husband died; riding my Sportster wasn't the same without him. I'm short, just 5' and I lost my confidence handling the Sporty in the garage and navigating our difficult driveway as I tippy-toed it waiting to pull out at the bottom of a blind curve. My left hand had been damaged from years of clutching. I became depressed loosing my husband and the passion of riding that we shared. Then in 2020 I bought my F3 Basic. It saved my life. All my concerns and anxiety about dropping the bike, clutching fatigue, chrome maintence, road conditions, and low speed manuvering vanished in that one bike. We have always been Harley people, but now I'm doing things my way. My Spyders license plate says "YBNRML" ... " Why Be Normal" 😂 Not all the Harley riders wave at me: but I don't care .... I'm retired, widowed, and out there still riding, thanks to my beautiful black Spyder😎🕷🕸
Having a true reverse gear; and not have to put feet down to balance at stops or worrying about road surfaces or slant in parking lots are real pluses…
9 cruisers, 1 touring bike, now one of these. My wife and I always ride together and we've been to all 48 contiguous states, some many times. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 155k miles all told. At 68 I needed a break. These may not lean but they hug the twists and sweeps so much more securely than two wheels it's hard to describe. We can push some serious G's on our Spyder RT Limited. I wish we'd made the switch years ago. Keep up the great work on these videos. God bless.
Good Morning Coach Bob. I live in Canada where our riding time is much shorter than south. I just wrote off my 2019 Harley Davidson CVO and was looking at a new CVO anniversary edition. With our short riding season the cost is totally crazy. In Canadian funds I is it at $69,500.00 . So am looking at a Can-Am Spider and I love this 10 point Video.
A couple more reasons: 1. Anyone can learn to ride a Spyder - young or old, and also those who have never ridden a motorcycle. 2. With a handbrake accessory, the Spyder provides an opptunity for paraplegics & amputees to enjoy motorcycle riding. Awesome video Coach Bob, BRP will sell a few more Spyders thanks to this video 😁👍👍
You're 100% correct on the handling abilities of the Spyder. There were a couple of instances where I tried to keep up with a Spyder on a back road while riding a Harley Freewheeler. I failed, miserably, both times. Having only one tire up front really limits the fun you can have on curvy roads. If performance on three wheels matters at all to you, buy a Can-Am. Simple as that!
steel grated surface bridges can be really challenging. the squirming of the back tire can be distracting to new riders. one reason that explicitly be said is that extends the riding of Older folks who had to give up two wheels. Also it gives access to people with injuries or handicaps who can't ride two wheel.
I have been riding for many years but an accident that damaged nerves in my back (not motorcycle related) has resulted in neuropathy, causing me to lose strength in my legs. I don't feel safe riding a big bike, because I don't have the strength to hold it up. I have read review after review and watched many videos on 3-wheel bikes. The Can-Am Spyder has the look and appears to have the feeling that I am looking for. The wife loves riding the bi.... back seat, yeah back seat. I have watched many of your videos and it has really helped me to make up my mind. I am 99% sure at this point I will go with the Can-Am Spyder Limited. I have a lot of my friends laugh when I tell them I am going 3-wheels, I think they will change their minds. Thank you for your videos. I just wanted to add I am 54 and now at the point where I can ride pretty much anytime I want.
I test rode the first year of the 1330. Been in love every since. And now I’m close to ownership and I personally don’t care what anybody else thinks. Everybody is entitled to His or her opinion. But at the end of the day, SEA TO SKY forever, and you can bank on that👍🏽
Yes, Coach Bob I liked the video. You hit hard on the nail.....Im taking over my first Can-Am Spyder RT next week.....my wife has seriously promised to ride with me again.......we are selling the 2-wheeler (we fell with the cruiser twice, she got a sprained shoulder which took years to heal......Im turning 69 next october. Cheers, Steve
Another reason is ease of ride for handicapped individuals. I am 52 years old and I've been diagnosed with Parkingson. My left side is slow and week and balance is off. My wife and I purchased a used 2020 Spyder Rt and we fell in love with it. The bike has helped with hand coordination and keeps me active. Thank you for all your content it is always high quality information.
I've been afraid of motorcycles ever since I almost died as a passenger, when the driver lost control on some gravel on the highway going 100 mph. Fastforward 45 years, I was riding an ATV on some mountains in Utah and I tell you what, that was so much fun. I think that riding a Spyder would be a very similar experience. I'm 63 now and seriously considering buying one. Love your channel, so informative. Thanks coach!
Thanks so much for watching. When bad things happen it sticks with us. Take your time and find a CanAm dealer that offers a riding class. Often you can use their Spyder and learn for a day. It’s a great way to help with your decision. Thanks for commenting. I’m glad you’re here.
OH MY GOSH! GOD bless you guys. This is the 3rd video of your's that I've watched back-to-back. My heart is thumping more than when i sat on one last weekend. This is what I told my wife. I just want to spent time with her out in the open and taking in the countryside. Can't afford a Tri-glide. I NEED ONE OF THESE! Thanks for doing these true-to-life videos!
I’m always amazed with the quality and energy that you put in your videos CoachBob. Excellent descriptions of the Spyder, ownership and riding abilities. Your certainly the best Can Am salesman that exists outside the showroom.
The Spyder was initially my wife’s idea! I had a Honda VTX which I absolutely loved, it had given me 6 years of faithful service without hiccups, it owed me nothing, I loved the Handling, smooth ride, performance. But it was a very uncomfortable ride for the wifey, she was miserable! Friends of ours rode a Spyder and loved it . Wife suggested we get a Spyder, My knee jerk reaction was “I don’t want to get rid of my MC! She said “you don’t have to get rid of your bike we’ll just get a Spyder too! Well that took the argument out of the equation. We’ve had the Spyder 3 1/2 years, last year I put 200 miles on the Honda, I hate to admit that I have come to love the Spyder , it’s a technology advanced machine , handles well. At this point in my life I’m all about comfort !5 months ago sold the Honda, it was time to turn it over to someone who would love it also! The Spyder is a member of the family!
I’ve been watching your videos since before your California trip. You inspired me to get a 2020 can am spyder RTL and I never looked back. I’ve toured over 27000 miles all over this beautiful country. I’m 66 years old and have a lot more trips planned on this great machine. My heart sings every time I ride this machine. Thanks Bob 😊
I have liked the look of these bikes. Because of my back issues, I can't ride a 2 wheel bike for any distance. After taking an RT Limited for a 1 hour test ride, I was amazed at how comfortable it was. It may not be for everyone, but it is a kick in the pants to ride. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and experiences.
Bob, super informative video. I’m about to buy an F3s Special. Always had a motorcycle, 74 years old in a few months. Time for 3 wheels. The Spyder is my choice…agree with all your feature benefits. Good luck to you and your wife, Clive from the U.K. 🇬🇧
I am sure glad that I do not have to paint that massive white fence you rode past! I love my Sea To Sky and I am not at all interested in whether anyone else likes it. The Spyder is an awesome device, I rode mine back from the dealer after a service recently - 2 hours in a torrential thiunderstorm. No drama at all.
I have a 21 sea to sky. The comfort over the 18 RTL is way different. Doubt I would want to look at an aftermarket seat because I am so comfortable on the stock one and the floorboard space gives me the room to move my legs enough to alleviate the cramps I sometimes got in my right leg (try stopping with a cramped RIGHT leg)
I don't usually watch reviews with backstories, but damn I watched this video and loved every moment of it! It feels like I'm listening to a friend. I learned riding motorcycles at the age of 9, had a bad accident when I was 22, which left my left knee in a bad situation until now. I just turned 40 and I'm leaning towards a CanAm. Keep on riding! ♥️
Coach Bob. Great video. You’re an awesome speaker and touched on many points that I was feeling. I almost let peer pressure dissuade me from getting one. Tha
Greetings Coach Bob >>> Fantastic video as usual ! My wife has a 2015 Can-Am Spyder F3-S, which we have ridden 2-up on several 1,500 to 2,500 mile tours in the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountain States in the last view years . I have a 2019 Yamaha Super Tenere ES, which we have taken on shorter 2-up tours . We are both 71 years old and believe me, the tours on my wife's Spyder are way more comfortable, less intense and much less tiring ! We take the Yamaha when dirt, gravel roads and off-road tracks are involved . Thanks again for your very informative and real world 🌍 information ! Take care & be well ! RIDE & BE FREE !!! Scott & Janelle Boise, Idaho, USA, Earth 🏍️🏍️🏍️
I would say the #1 reason for anyone thinking about getting a spyder is that it is very forgiving. If you are new to riding or elderly it's forgiving of a great amount of skill required of a two wheel. If scared it's forgiving of possible low side accidents. And for most handicaps or permanent injuries it is forgiving and allows you to ride. No two wheeled vehicle that I know of can accommodate for lower skill, fear and physical restrictions.
Coach even if your not into the 3 wheels motorcycles i think most people can appreciate them. Two wheels in the front is a no brainer when it comes to stability. Can't imagine why some people are hatters. My second motorcycle is an fjr 1300. I'll tell you I enjoy that bike more than most bikes I've ever owned. I bought my touring bike so my wife will ride with me other than that I will take the fjr everytime.
Coach Bob. Thank you, Thank You Thank You......Ive been thinking about a spyder for about a year...i ve been riding a burgman 400 scooter. I ride with my wife, but I dont enjoy riding when she is on the back, I'm always nervous about s fall at a light when I have to balance her weight...I test rode a spyder RTL a few days ago... WOW!!! I love this thing... i just closed on a 22 RTL and will pick it up next weeK.....PS we have aviation in common. I am a Legacy 600/650 Captain and as I recall I think you were a Controller. Any way .. Keep up the good work I sure do enjoy your information!!!
Been riding for about 30 years, a two wheel machines. I hive in rural south tx so all of them worked for thier living.(bet not many have used a BMW r75/6 to herd cattle for example). Just got a f3s and love it but my first mod WILL be a windshield. The thing is absolutely wonderful on the back roads, almost no pucker factor with rocks and gravel and rough roads don't disturb it at all.
Hello Coach Bob, Thank you and Coach Vic for being an inspiration to me. You helped me decide to get a 2022 RT Limited. I have really enjoyed the bike. I only have 1300 miles on it but it’s been a blast so far. Ride Safe out there. God Bless.
Thanks for the great content! 👍👍 I'm looking in the Can Am direction as honestly, I have been riding a straight axle Victory Crossbow trike and it looks great and it's awesome on nice roads but simply awful on bad roads and as I get older it isn't getting any better! Kind of tired of getting beat up when you just want to try and enjoy a nice ride. And the head shake on a normal straight axle trike when you hit a bump is hard on your shoulders and makes me want to look in the direction of a Can-Am Spyder...... ✌️🇺🇸
@CoachBob3 my 2022 RT-l has 47 gallons of storage. next year i have two very long trips to choose from Ohio or Iowa i'll be doing solo (ugh). quality gear is a must especially rain gear. suspension, mine is auto adjusting and when to took my trip up to cedar key with minimal gear i notice no change in ride or when i have my wife out for a ride out for several hours i notice no change in ride, what i do notice is the compressor run when she first get on the trike but after that nope nothing, the auto suspension is wicked awesome. i find that braking is far superior to my former bike that being a HD road-glide this can am stops fast and hard enough to lift my 263 pound body up in the seat.... looking forward till we meet again.
All very sensible points for someone to try out a Can Am Spyder. As for European vs American bikes, I agree that European bikes are far superior. I more then annoy some HD riders when I refer to the build quality on my Harleys over the years as being on an agricultural level.
Ok,here;s the deal. I've been an MC tech for many years. I've had the priviledge of riding 100's of different kinds/brands of bikes.For many years I swore I would just quit riding before I needed a 3 wheeler. This was in part due to me getting to ride more than a few Goldwing conversions and HD conversions. Traditional(2 wheels in the back) trikes are horrible. They do not handle at all. I rode an early Spyder and liked it but it had a few issues I didn't like. They have since addressed these. I have a friend who bought a Ryker,let me have it for 4 days while he took a trip.I have never looked back. I now own a Ryker Sport and love it. I have no problem doing 600 mile days. I am now 61 years old.I still have,and love,my Guzzi V9 Bobber. But when I travel,NC to FLA is common,It's the Ryker all the way. I have done some common mods to make better suited to travel. I grew up way up north and rode snowmobiles for many years. Yes,the Ryker(but not the Spyder) really is like a snowmobile with wheels(hell,it's got a snowmobile engine and CVT in it) but that's one of the reasons I like it.I hear the negative comments as well but I tell people to ride one before they judge. Thank you for the great channel.
We ride recumbent trikes set up like a Spyder and we get the same hate from lot's of 2 wheel bicycles! Hope to have a Spyder before we get to old to ride, have an excellent day and Ride On!
Thanks for that video Coach Bob. The only thing that holds me back from buying one is the dealer network, parts availability, and a general malaise with the entire non-riding part of ownership. 🧐🧐
I've had a Yamaha VT1300 and a Harley Davidson Fat Boy. The VT was extremely comfortable and reliable. The Harley was fun for the ego, especially in the south, but I had back surgery in 2019 so the rough ride of the fat boy isn't sustainable anymore. The Can-am's are on my radar right now, but I am wondering about the comfort on these things.
I rode a Softail for 18 years. I loved that cool feeling the HD gave me. As I have aged ...I have certainly changed...more body pain, more desire to slow down and simply enjoy life. The comfort accompanied with the ability to tour with my wife has made the Spyder a perfect fit for me. Myself, a 60+ year old fella.. I can easily do 500-600 miles a day without feeling totally wiped out. The comfort is 5 stars. 👍👍👍
Thank you very much! Just a little practice and they gradually get better. I am always looking to get better. I love the film editing process!!! I really appreciate that.
I got my motorcycle endorsement in 2016. I then bought a Tri-Glide. Had to sell it in 2018 for a job related move to the UK. I'm back in the USA now and I plan to buy either a Spyder or another Tri-Glide in spring of 2024. I ride what I like. I don't ride so you'll think I'm cool. I don't need any excuses to ride a three-wheeler. I don't need to explain myself to anyone. If you want to make fun of me and my ride, feel free. I heard plenty disparaging remarks when I owned my Trike. It got old, but I tried my best not to let it bother me. ☺ “If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?” ― William Shakespeare, The Tri-Glide rider of Venice
I am in the learning stage when it comes to the Can Am. I see a number of negative comments but equally I see plenty of positive one's. I am curious as to which model of Can Am you ride as I like the idea of heated grips especially out riding in the UK where it rains alit and can be quite cold. I enjoyed your video and would like to see more before I take the plunge. Thanks Mike 😎👍
The entire RT Spyder line and the touring level F3 Spyder will have the heated grips for sure. I believe it is an option all the way around the. The RT limited and the RT Sea to sky both have heated seats as well. Mine has been quite dependable. I have some friends whose largest problem has been parts acquisition when things go wrong (here in the states, I have had the same problem with European bikes). I will always have a Spyder (and a Triumph or two)...the Spyder has been a joy to own and ride. I appreciate ya watching and commenting.
I rode motorcycles..for distances...since high school. I am 70. My first summer out of high school, I went on an 1100 mile trip on my Honda 350. My current bike has 109,000 miles. I wanted to love the Spyder but hated the way I felt in the turns. It felt like it wanted to throw me off the bike. My brother in law "triked" his Harley and felt the same way. I spoke with a Spyder owner who previously rode a GW like I have. He said that you get "used" to it. Not sure why you would want to???
I love standing out. Being from a small semi-small country town Petersburg Virginia. I have a 2009 RS and people act like we're riding a 2023 RT LTD Sea to sky lol
I’ve had motorcycles since I was 15….the last 4 were Harley’s and now I’m 68 and haven’t had much desire to ride because of concerns that my feet may slip out from under me while backing out of my garage onto the gravel driveway. I didn’t want the Harley Triglide because it doesn’t have that sport feeling. I found a deal on a 2011 Can Am RS S and I’m just stoked!!!
Waiting to pick up my new Sea to Sky. Over 50 years of riding bikes. I want to enjoy long rides in my retirement. Comfort & convenience makes a long drive more enjoyable. Go away damn snow!!
Bruh. We LOVE the stock seat on our 2014 RT Ltd. It's AWESOME. Many great reasons to spyder up there, but you did not mention the FREE access to diamond lanes even once!! Our bike has like 5 suspension settings. Changing it is easy as heck, you can even do it while you are moving. We can adjust it well enough for solo canyon carving, two up touring, or ya know. Whatever. If the road gets bumpy and we are bouncing along, no problem, just flip a switch and job done. Love my Spyd. It's f'in solid!! #RealRider
I would like to add. I rode a sidecar for years and I see the canam as having some similarities in body movement though not handling. A sidecar front wheel requires reverse steering dependant upon how many wheels are on the ground when manoeuvring. I don’t think that a canam has a propensity to lift, rather slide when on an even surface. I am currently considering buying a trike and being 65 I’m leaning towards the canam for the creature comforts.
It does have the side car feel, but, without the fear of "lift". The handling is also far superior on the "reverse trike" design. It feels very planted. I have ridden my entire life and was very reluctant about getting a Spyder. I have really enjoyed the experience. Let me know how things go on your "Spyder Quest".
I have a 2018 RTL and I have the same suspension as you do. No electronics. I also do not have a heated seat which some people think I have. It has been totally dependable for me, and I enjoy riding it very much. I do have the handlebar brake lever from ISCI which I think is excellent.
Great video - you have pace down pat. I must admit I always thought CanAms were silly and only for people who could not figure out how to ride a "proper bike." Now that I am looking 70 years old square in the face combined with health issues, I am pretty much certain of I am going to join the club next riding season.
Thanks so much for the detailed overview. I’m considering a Spyder RT Limited and was wondering what the typical annual maintenance expenses would be for this model.
Glad it was helpful! I will be doing a cost of ownership video for 2023. I made one a year ago..but the prices of everything has changed so dramatically.
Hey Coach . If you get a chance , take a Kawasaki H2 SX SE for a test ride . I would be curious to see what you think of that 2 wheel Motorbike . Thanks for all the vids . Looks like I may be going the Canam Spyder route for a second vehicle . Used tho , there darn expensive new
When I moved to a Spyder after many years of two wheels I was worried how it would be perceived by the Backpatch/sidepatch community the later of which I am part of, as it turned out there was nothing to worry about in fact it always receives positive comments at events and gatherings
Awesome video. I have been pipe dreaming about Can Am bikes for many many years. I want the safety of a wide based enclosed road vehicle with the freedom of an open road bike. As a health care worker in Radiology/ emergency medicine witnessing many upon motorcycle accidents I had to take a step back. I feel like the can am frame is much more safer and is perfect to thwart being victims of those who don’t see conventional riders and are often the reason for accidents, often not caused by the bike riders. Sure I get the jokes from all my Harley riding buddies, but my safety and freedom of the road dissolves all the hype of a 2 wheeler. I got 2 years until retirement, and I am certain Can Am will be in my wheelhouse. Thanks for sharing.
Great video as always, Coach! Just purchased my second spyder. I decided on a Sea to Sky after delaying it for two years. I'll pick it up next week. Hope to see you and your wife the road one day!!
I made the move to a Spyder from 2 wheels due to neuropathy. I am very happy that I purchased a Spyder. Do I miss high speed cornering on 2 wheels yes but that is no longer a safe option for me.
The ONLY reason I don't yet have a Can Am Spyder is the price. I've owned/ridden 2 wheel motorcycles for 50+ years. My last bike was a 530lb 1987 Honda Super Magna and while it was quite fun for short rides, road trips would leave me with a sore butt. I went on a group ride with a bunch of other Super Magna owners and we ended up going on a 149 mile ride for lunch. I was on that bike for 9 hours that day and could barely walk at the end of it. I even skipped the following days ride because of it. I ended up selling it but not for that reason. Where I live now, it rains A LOT and riding that particular bike in the rain was not a fun experience. The most appealing aspects of the spyder in my opinion are, 2 wheels up front for stability, the semi-auto transmission and of course, the storage capacity.
Go for a second hand low mileage one instead , i bought a lovely 2012 Spyder RS for £10,000 , I've been out on it every day rain or shine , I've seen many for less money than that as well ...don't waste time , life is short ...all the best
Hi Bob, I'd be interested in knowing your thoughts on someone buying their first Can Am Spyder used? I've been watching a lot of your videos, my wife and I are going through your Keywest to Maine videos and I love watching them. Thanks
My wife and I bought a 2016 Spyder RT Limited with about 10,000 miles on it. The RideNow dealership made our experience enjoyable and we love the handling that the bike had. We are adding in a bunch of upgrade modifications to the bike for further safety and easy of maintenance. We hope you can find one that you will enjoy riding.
Paul, I'm going to throw in my two cents...I bought my first Spyder F3 Limited used... It's a 2018 and I bought it in 2019 with 3,600 miles on it I now have over 56,000 miles on it. I would say it's just like buying a used car or truck. There's always a risk but you probably still have some warranty depending on the year. Who knows? My next one may be used also. Hubby says I can give him mine when I'm ready for another one lol 🤗💜
@@davidwalters7600 Thank David, I may be getting my first Spyder F3-T this weekend. I got a deal on a 2022, 1k off shipping and assembly fee and 500 off MSRP so I feel I got a good deal. Hopefully this weekend I'll be parking it in my driveway. God Bless
@@PurpleOnThree Hey there Purple, I've been watching your videos as well. Very impressed by all your journeys. My wife claims she will not ride on my Spyder, so I don't see me driving the distances you have. Thanks for giving your two cents about purchasing a used Spyder. I think it is smart to get a better price and more accessories and a lot of the used deals I've seen are low miles in my opinion. God Bless
@@Brute750 best wishes, Paul! Excited and happy for you! Your wife may change her mind...🙏😊. You don't have to drive miles and miles to enjoy a Spyder....I had a 20 mile ride last Saturday and I'm still smiling 😊. God bless! 💜
I had a spinal cord injury and have nerve damage in left hand . I can walk but also have nerve damage in my left leg . My issue is I can grip left grip but can’t open fingers to paddle shift easy . Do you think there is a way I could add paddle shifter to right side to . I live in High Springs Florida ! I’m looking at the Rally unit too because of price and just twist throttle and go ! Great video as well !
I have been riding for 56 years, summer of 1967. I started with a Honda 55, yes 55. I have a BMW R1150RT, I love that bike, with age and a bad heart I can't hold it up any more, the last I tried to ride it I dropped it and now I fear getting back on it. Dammit I miss riding almost as much as I miss being young. This looks like it would work, not counter steering would drive me nuts.
I love your videos! Very knowledgeable. I had no idea how much storage it has. That is one thing that has me looking at a Spyder. The other reason is I feel safer on it when it’s wet outside. On a motorcycle not so much
Been riding for 30 years, had a canam for the last 2 summers. Every summer of the last 30 years I take a 10-14 day trip riding 4-500 miles a day, and I endorse every single word in this video. Thought I had to give up riding due to bad knees, my Spyder has given me a new life.
I never thought that I would own a three wheel. I have ridden two wheels over 50 years and taught motorcycle safety for over 35 years. I have not been a three wheel bike rider. I now have two Can Am Spyder’s. One for me and one for my wife. I am an old fart and my knees do not work well. I studied the different three wheel combination available and decided that Can Am is the safest and most fun to ride. My wife wanted my first Can Am so I went got one for me. Now we ride together. It is great.
Goals 🥹
I've had my 883L Harley since '07 when they first came out. A Suzuki 650 before that. After my husband died; riding my Sportster wasn't the same without him. I'm short, just 5' and I lost my confidence handling the Sporty in the garage and navigating our difficult driveway as I tippy-toed it waiting to pull out at the bottom of a blind curve. My left hand had been damaged from years of clutching. I became depressed loosing my husband and the passion of riding that we shared. Then in 2020 I bought my F3 Basic. It saved my life. All my concerns and anxiety about dropping the bike, clutching fatigue, chrome maintence, road conditions, and low speed manuvering vanished in that one bike. We have always been Harley people, but now I'm doing things my way. My Spyders license plate says "YBNRML" ... " Why Be Normal" 😂 Not all the Harley riders wave at me: but I don't care .... I'm retired, widowed, and out there still riding, thanks to my beautiful black Spyder😎🕷🕸
EXCELLENT!!! Congratulations on the Spyder.
Most importantly!!! You have reclaimed your life and I salute you!!!
Having a true reverse gear; and not have to put feet down to balance at stops or worrying about road surfaces or slant in parking lots are real pluses…
9 cruisers, 1 touring bike, now one of these. My wife and I always ride together and we've been to all 48 contiguous states, some many times. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 155k miles all told. At 68 I needed a break. These may not lean but they hug the twists and sweeps so much more securely than two wheels it's hard to describe. We can push some serious G's on our Spyder RT Limited. I wish we'd made the switch years ago. Keep up the great work on these videos. God bless.
Good Morning Coach Bob. I live in Canada where our riding time is much shorter than south. I just wrote off my 2019 Harley Davidson CVO and was looking at a new CVO anniversary edition. With our short riding season the cost is totally crazy. In Canadian funds I is it at $69,500.00 . So am looking at a Can-Am Spider and I love this 10 point Video.
A couple more reasons: 1. Anyone can learn to ride a Spyder - young or old, and also those who have never ridden a motorcycle.
2. With a handbrake accessory, the Spyder provides an opptunity for paraplegics & amputees to enjoy motorcycle riding.
Awesome video Coach Bob, BRP will sell a few more Spyders thanks to this video 😁👍👍
Your No. 2 is exactly why I ride a Spyder, as I’m a paraplegic.😊
@@johnraccanello393 That's AWESOME John !!! 👊😁👍
You're 100% correct on the handling abilities of the Spyder. There were a couple of instances where I tried to keep up with a Spyder on a back road while riding a Harley Freewheeler. I failed, miserably, both times. Having only one tire up front really limits the fun you can have on curvy roads. If performance on three wheels matters at all to you, buy a Can-Am. Simple as that!
Too much maintenance is required on a spider , And not very good Is electronics
I'm a veteran with a bad leg. The spyder has me back I the saddle again!
steel grated surface bridges can be really challenging. the squirming of the back tire can be distracting to new riders.
one reason that explicitly be said is that extends the riding of Older folks who had to give up two wheels. Also it gives access to people with injuries or handicaps who can't ride two wheel.
I have been riding for many years but an accident that damaged nerves in my back (not motorcycle related) has resulted in neuropathy, causing me to lose strength in my legs. I don't feel safe riding a big bike, because I don't have the strength to hold it up. I have read review after review and watched many videos on 3-wheel bikes. The Can-Am Spyder has the look and appears to have the feeling that I am looking for. The wife loves riding the bi.... back seat, yeah back seat. I have watched many of your videos and it has really helped me to make up my mind. I am 99% sure at this point I will go with the Can-Am Spyder Limited. I have a lot of my friends laugh when I tell them I am going 3-wheels, I think they will change their minds. Thank you for your videos. I just wanted to add I am 54 and now at the point where I can ride pretty much anytime I want.
I test rode the first year of the 1330. Been in love every since.
And now I’m close to ownership and I personally don’t care what anybody else thinks. Everybody is entitled to
His or her opinion. But at the end of the day, SEA TO SKY forever, and you can bank on that👍🏽
Just got ‘22 S to S! You won’t regret it!
I have a S to S waiting for me to pick it up. Looking forward to my 1st ride.
Yes, Coach Bob I liked the video. You hit hard on the nail.....Im taking over my first Can-Am Spyder RT next week.....my wife has seriously promised to ride with me again.......we are selling the 2-wheeler (we fell with the cruiser twice, she got a sprained shoulder which took years to heal......Im turning 69 next october. Cheers, Steve
Another reason is ease of ride for handicapped individuals. I am 52 years old and I've been diagnosed with Parkingson. My left side is slow and week and balance is off. My wife and I purchased a used 2020 Spyder Rt and we fell in love with it. The bike has helped with hand coordination and keeps me active. Thank you for all your content it is always high quality information.
Even on a long trip, I still have room for my makeup bag LOL 🤗💜
I've been afraid of motorcycles ever since I almost died as a passenger, when the driver lost control on some gravel on the highway going 100 mph. Fastforward 45 years, I was riding an ATV on some mountains in Utah and I tell you what, that was so much fun. I think that riding a Spyder would be a very similar experience. I'm 63 now and seriously considering buying one. Love your channel, so informative. Thanks coach!
Thanks so much for watching. When bad things happen it sticks with us. Take your time and find a CanAm dealer that offers a riding class. Often you can use their Spyder and learn for a day. It’s a great way to help with your decision.
Thanks for commenting. I’m glad you’re here.
What is that opening music, love it. I just bought a Spyder leaving a Harley Softail. Just about 72 and don't trust myself anymore.
OH MY GOSH! GOD bless you guys. This is the 3rd video of your's that I've watched back-to-back. My heart is thumping more than when i sat on one last weekend. This is what I told my wife. I just want to spent time with her out in the open and taking in the countryside. Can't afford a Tri-glide. I NEED ONE OF THESE! Thanks for doing these true-to-life videos!
I sure do Love how Coach Vic changed her mind after sitting on the Spyder! 🤗💜
I’m always amazed with the quality and energy that you put in your videos CoachBob. Excellent descriptions of the Spyder, ownership and riding abilities. Your certainly the best Can Am salesman that exists outside the showroom.
The Spyder was initially my wife’s idea! I had a Honda VTX which I absolutely loved, it had given me 6 years of faithful service without hiccups, it owed me nothing, I loved the Handling, smooth ride, performance. But it was a very uncomfortable ride for the wifey, she was miserable! Friends of ours rode a Spyder and loved it . Wife suggested we get a Spyder, My knee jerk reaction was “I don’t want to get rid of my MC! She said “you don’t have to get rid of your bike we’ll just get a Spyder too! Well that took the argument out of the equation. We’ve had the Spyder 3 1/2 years, last year I put 200 miles on the Honda, I hate to admit that I have come to love the Spyder , it’s a technology advanced machine , handles well. At this point in my life I’m all about comfort !5 months ago sold the Honda, it was time to turn it over to someone who would love it also! The Spyder is a member of the family!
I’ve been watching your videos since before your California trip. You inspired me to get a 2020 can am spyder RTL and I never looked back. I’ve toured over 27000 miles all over this beautiful country. I’m 66 years old and have a lot more trips planned on this great machine. My heart sings every time I ride this machine. Thanks Bob 😊
That is awesome!!!
I have liked the look of these bikes. Because of my back issues, I can't ride a 2 wheel bike for any distance. After taking an RT Limited for a 1 hour test ride, I was amazed at how comfortable it was. It may not be for everyone, but it is a kick in the pants to ride. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and experiences.
Having heated grips and a heated seat (both for rider and passenger) are GREAT.
Bob, super informative video. I’m about to buy an F3s Special. Always had a motorcycle, 74 years old in a few months. Time for 3 wheels. The Spyder is my choice…agree with all your feature benefits. Good luck to you and your wife, Clive from the U.K. 🇬🇧
Right on! You're awesome Clive!!!
70. just bought an RSs 900 2014 - very pleased. Bill in UK
I am sure glad that I do not have to paint that massive white fence you rode past!
I love my Sea To Sky and I am not at all interested in whether anyone else likes it. The Spyder is an awesome device,
I rode mine back from the dealer after a service recently - 2 hours in a torrential thiunderstorm. No drama at all.
I have a 21 sea to sky. The comfort over the 18 RTL is way different. Doubt I would want to look at an aftermarket seat because I am so comfortable on the stock one and the floorboard space gives me the room to move my legs enough to alleviate the cramps I sometimes got in my right leg (try stopping with a cramped RIGHT leg)
Honest truth...as soon as I rode this thing,,, I said to myself......Coach Bob... ok I get it!!!!!
Every time I get on my Spyder, I love it even more. I'll take a quote from "Pretty Woman"
"It handles like it's on rails."
And YES, it does.
Love that quote, Dave!! 🤗💜💯
@@PurpleOnThree Thanks sweetie.
I don't usually watch reviews with backstories, but damn I watched this video and loved every moment of it! It feels like I'm listening to a friend. I learned riding motorcycles at the age of 9, had a bad accident when I was 22, which left my left knee in a bad situation until now. I just turned 40 and I'm leaning towards a CanAm. Keep on riding! ♥️
Coach Bob. Great video. You’re an awesome speaker and touched on many points that I was feeling. I almost let peer pressure dissuade me from getting one. Tha
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Awesome video Coach!! I have to agree on all your reasons to own a Spyder. Rock on and have a Blessed weekend!!
Greetings Coach Bob >>>
Fantastic video as usual !
My wife has a 2015 Can-Am Spyder F3-S, which we have ridden 2-up on several 1,500 to 2,500 mile tours in the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountain States in the last view years . I have a 2019 Yamaha Super Tenere ES, which we have taken on shorter 2-up tours . We are both 71 years old and believe me, the tours on my wife's Spyder are way more comfortable, less intense and much less tiring ! We take the Yamaha when dirt, gravel roads and off-road tracks are involved . Thanks again for your very informative and real world 🌍 information !
Take care & be well !
RIDE & BE FREE !!!

Awesome video, Bob! Sorry I didn't have too much to say LOL 😂😂😂
Oh, a Saturday surprise 👏
I would say the #1 reason for anyone thinking about getting a spyder is that it is very forgiving. If you are new to riding or elderly it's forgiving of a great amount of skill required of a two wheel. If scared it's forgiving of possible low side accidents. And for most handicaps or permanent injuries it is forgiving and allows you to ride. No two wheeled vehicle that I know of can accommodate for lower skill, fear and physical restrictions.
Coach even if your not into the 3 wheels motorcycles i think most people can appreciate them. Two wheels in the front is a no brainer when it comes to stability. Can't imagine why some people are hatters. My second motorcycle is an fjr 1300. I'll tell you I enjoy that bike more than most bikes I've ever owned. I bought my touring bike so my wife will ride with me other than that I will take the fjr everytime.
Thanks for this v8deo I am thinking about purchasing a spider 🕸... thanks for riding in my hometown Miccouskee!!!🎉
Coach Bob. Thank you, Thank You Thank You......Ive been thinking about a spyder for about a year...i ve been riding a burgman 400 scooter. I ride with my wife, but I dont enjoy riding when she is on the back, I'm always nervous about s fall at a light when I have to balance her weight...I test rode a spyder RTL a few days ago... WOW!!! I love this thing... i just closed on a 22 RTL and will pick it up next weeK.....PS we have aviation in common. I am a Legacy 600/650 Captain and as I recall I think you were a Controller. Any way .. Keep up the good work I sure do enjoy your information!!!
Been riding for about 30 years, a two wheel machines. I hive in rural south tx so all of them worked for thier living.(bet not many have used a BMW r75/6 to herd cattle for example). Just got a f3s and love it but my first mod WILL be a windshield. The thing is absolutely wonderful on the back roads, almost no pucker factor with rocks and gravel and rough roads don't disturb it at all.
Hello Coach Bob,
Thank you and Coach Vic for being an inspiration to me. You helped me decide to get a 2022 RT Limited. I have really enjoyed the bike. I only have 1300 miles on it but it’s been a blast so far. Ride Safe out there. God Bless.
I agree on the seat. Stock seat is absolutely wonderful! Ask that to a Harley owner and see what kind of answer you get LOL 😁
Yes coach Bob I'm loving your twist on it.
Thanks for the great content! 👍👍
I'm looking in the Can Am direction as honestly, I have been riding a straight axle Victory Crossbow trike and it looks great and it's awesome on nice roads but simply awful on bad roads and as I get older it isn't getting any better! Kind of tired of getting beat up when you just want to try and enjoy a nice ride. And the head shake on a normal straight axle trike when you hit a bump is hard on your shoulders and makes me want to look in the direction of a Can-Am Spyder......
✌️🇺🇸
Or look for you an independent suspension like a gold wing Honda
@CoachBob3 my 2022 RT-l has 47 gallons of storage. next year i have two very long trips to choose from Ohio or Iowa i'll be doing solo (ugh). quality gear is a must especially rain gear. suspension, mine is auto adjusting and when to took my trip up to cedar key with minimal gear i notice no change in ride or when i have my wife out for a ride out for several hours i notice no change in ride, what i do notice is the compressor run when she first get on the trike but after that nope nothing, the auto suspension is wicked awesome. i find that braking is far superior to my former bike that being a HD road-glide this can am stops fast and hard enough to lift my 263 pound body up in the seat.... looking forward till we meet again.
All very sensible points for someone to try out a Can Am Spyder. As for European vs American bikes, I agree that European bikes are far superior. I more then annoy some HD riders when I refer to the build quality on my Harleys over the years as being on an agricultural level.
Sorry for your loss shecwas a good hearted lady
Excellent Excellent commentary and personal advice. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! I appreciate it. 👍👍👍
Sure does handle like a beast! And I love to lean my body into the turns. It is fun!
Ok,here;s the deal. I've been an MC tech for many years. I've had the priviledge of riding 100's of different kinds/brands of bikes.For many years I swore I would just quit riding before I needed a 3 wheeler. This was in part due to me getting to ride more than a few Goldwing conversions and HD conversions. Traditional(2 wheels in the back) trikes are horrible. They do not handle at all.
I rode an early Spyder and liked it but it had a few issues I didn't like. They have since addressed these. I have a friend who bought a Ryker,let me have it for 4 days while he took a trip.I have never looked back. I now own a Ryker Sport and love it. I have no problem doing 600 mile days. I am now 61 years old.I still have,and love,my Guzzi V9 Bobber. But when I travel,NC to FLA is common,It's the Ryker all the way. I have done some common mods to make better suited to travel. I grew up way up north and rode snowmobiles for many years. Yes,the Ryker(but not the Spyder) really is like a snowmobile with wheels(hell,it's got a snowmobile engine and CVT in it) but that's one of the reasons I like it.I hear the negative comments as well but I tell people to ride one before they judge. Thank you for the great channel.
Great video coach!❤❤❤
It really is five stars for comfort! I remember my bicycle too lol. I think I was on it twice this year LOL
We ride recumbent trikes set up like a Spyder and we get the same hate from lot's of 2 wheel bicycles! Hope to have a Spyder before we get to old to ride, have an excellent day and Ride On!
Thanks for that video Coach Bob. The only thing that holds me back from buying one is the dealer network, parts availability, and a general malaise with the entire non-riding part of ownership. 🧐🧐
I've had a Yamaha VT1300 and a Harley Davidson Fat Boy. The VT was extremely comfortable and reliable. The Harley was fun for the ego, especially in the south, but I had back surgery in 2019 so the rough ride of the fat boy isn't sustainable anymore. The Can-am's are on my radar right now, but I am wondering about the comfort on these things.
I rode a Softail for 18 years. I loved that cool feeling the HD gave me. As I have aged ...I have certainly changed...more body pain, more desire to slow down and simply enjoy life. The comfort accompanied with the ability to tour with my wife has made the Spyder a perfect fit for me.
Myself, a 60+ year old fella.. I can easily do 500-600 miles a day without feeling totally wiped out. The comfort is 5 stars. 👍👍👍
I want one. Your videos are great. How does one learn how to make such nice videos.
Thank you very much! Just a little practice and they gradually get better. I am always looking to get better. I love the film editing process!!! I really appreciate that.
I got my motorcycle endorsement in 2016. I then bought a Tri-Glide. Had to sell it in 2018 for a job related move to the UK. I'm back in the USA now and I plan to buy either a Spyder or another Tri-Glide in spring of 2024.
I ride what I like. I don't ride so you'll think I'm cool. I don't need any excuses to ride a three-wheeler. I don't need to explain myself to anyone. If you want to make fun of me and my ride, feel free. I heard plenty disparaging remarks when I owned my Trike. It got old, but I tried my best not to let it bother me. ☺
“If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?”

Great comment.. and although it may not matter, I am gonna say it...
You are very COOL!!! Thanks for the great comment!!!
I am in the learning stage when it comes to the Can Am. I see a number of negative comments but equally I see plenty of positive one's. I am curious as to which model of Can Am you ride as I like the idea of heated grips especially out riding in the UK where it rains alit and can be quite cold. I enjoyed your video and would like to see more before I take the plunge. Thanks Mike 😎👍
The entire RT Spyder line and the touring level F3 Spyder will have the heated grips for sure. I believe it is an option all the way around the. The RT limited and the RT Sea to sky both have heated seats as well.
Mine has been quite dependable. I have some friends whose largest problem has been parts acquisition when things go wrong (here in the states, I have had the same problem with European bikes). I will always have a Spyder (and a Triumph or two)...the Spyder has been a joy to own and ride. I appreciate ya watching and commenting.
Thanks I will keep watching and learning. 🙂
Coach Bob I love your videos.
I appreciate ya watching. Thanks for being here.
I rode motorcycles..for distances...since high school. I am 70. My first summer out of high school, I went on an 1100 mile trip on my Honda 350. My current bike has 109,000 miles. I wanted to love the Spyder but hated the way I felt in the turns. It felt like it wanted to throw me off the bike. My brother in law "triked" his Harley and felt the same way. I spoke with a Spyder owner who previously rode a GW like I have. He said that you get "used" to it. Not sure why you would want to???
Got mine 2 weeks ago
Love It
Another awesome video! Thank coach Bob.
Ride safe
Such great information! Thanks, Coach!
Thanks so much!!! I appreciate ya watching and commenting.
I love standing out. Being from a small semi-small country town Petersburg Virginia. I have a 2009 RS and people act like we're riding a 2023 RT LTD Sea to sky lol
I’ve had motorcycles since I was 15….the last 4 were Harley’s and now I’m 68 and haven’t had much desire to ride because of concerns that my feet may slip out from under me while backing out of my garage onto the gravel driveway. I didn’t want the Harley Triglide because it doesn’t have that sport feeling. I found a deal on a 2011 Can Am RS S and I’m just stoked!!!
Waiting to pick up my new Sea to Sky. Over 50 years of riding bikes. I want to enjoy long rides in my retirement. Comfort & convenience makes a long drive more enjoyable. Go away damn snow!!
Bruh. We LOVE the stock seat on our 2014 RT Ltd. It's AWESOME. Many great reasons to spyder up there, but you did not mention the FREE access to diamond lanes even once!! Our bike has like 5 suspension settings. Changing it is easy as heck, you can even do it while you are moving. We can adjust it well enough for solo canyon carving, two up touring, or ya know. Whatever. If the road gets bumpy and we are bouncing along, no problem, just flip a switch and job done. Love my Spyd. It's f'in solid!! #RealRider
I will be looking for my spider next yr
Congratulations...let us know what ya end up getting!!
I would like to add. I rode a sidecar for years and I see the canam as having some similarities in body movement though not handling. A sidecar front wheel requires reverse steering dependant upon how many wheels are on the ground when manoeuvring. I don’t think that a canam has a propensity to lift, rather slide when on an even surface. I am currently considering buying a trike and being 65 I’m leaning towards the canam for the creature comforts.
It does have the side car feel, but, without the fear of "lift". The handling is also far superior on the "reverse trike" design. It feels very planted. I have ridden my entire life and was very reluctant about getting a Spyder. I have really enjoyed the experience. Let me know how things go on your "Spyder Quest".
The Spyder is the most comfortable bike I have ever been on! This is is like my Tesla experience... You have experience it to understand.
I have a 2018 RTL and I have the same suspension as you do. No electronics. I also do not have a heated seat which some people think I have. It has been totally dependable for me, and I enjoy riding it very much. I do have the handlebar brake lever from ISCI which I think is excellent.
Great video - you have pace down pat.
I must admit I always thought CanAms were silly and only for people who could not figure out how to ride a "proper bike." Now that I am looking 70 years old square in the face combined with health issues, I am pretty much certain of I am going to join the club next riding season.
Connections.... absolutely 💯💯💯 agree!
great video. I lean on my Ural Patrol. If I buy another bike it will be a CANAM Spyder.
Those are the TOP 10 for sure!!! 👍👍🤩🤩 Great video guys!! 💪💪
Good video enjoyed it missed coach Vic love her smile and her straight up views.
Thanks so much for the detailed overview. I’m considering a Spyder RT Limited and was wondering what the typical annual maintenance expenses would be for this model.
Glad it was helpful! I will be doing a cost of ownership video for 2023. I made one a year ago..but the prices of everything has changed so dramatically.
Hey Coach . If you get a chance , take a Kawasaki H2 SX SE for a test ride . I would be curious to see what you think of that 2 wheel Motorbike . Thanks for all the vids . Looks like I may be going the Canam Spyder route for a second vehicle . Used tho , there darn expensive new
And I love the spyder and rycker.
When I moved to a Spyder after many years of two wheels I was worried how it would be perceived by the Backpatch/sidepatch community the later of which I am part of, as it turned out there was nothing to worry about in fact it always receives positive comments at events and gatherings
Awesome video. I have been pipe dreaming about Can Am bikes for many many years. I want the safety of a wide based enclosed road vehicle with the freedom of an open road bike. As a health care worker in Radiology/ emergency medicine witnessing many upon motorcycle accidents I had to take a step back. I feel like the can am frame is much more safer and is perfect to thwart being victims of those who don’t see conventional riders and are often the reason for accidents, often not caused by the bike riders. Sure I get the jokes from all my Harley riding buddies, but my safety and freedom of the road dissolves all the hype of a 2 wheeler. I got 2 years until retirement, and I am certain Can Am will be in my wheelhouse. Thanks for sharing.
I put a cooler in the front of mine and have enough drinks for everyone in our group on an afternoon ride.
Great video as always, Coach! Just purchased my second spyder. I decided on a Sea to Sky after delaying it for two years. I'll pick it up next week. Hope to see you and your wife the road one day!!
I love my spyder RTs
I didn't realize you could adjust your own suspension that way...
I made the move to a Spyder from 2 wheels due to neuropathy. I am very happy that I purchased a Spyder. Do I miss high speed cornering on 2 wheels yes but that is no longer a safe option for me.
What year is your Spyder? I ride a '012 RT Limited Edition and love it for the same reasons that you mentioned.
The ONLY reason I don't yet have a Can Am Spyder is the price. I've owned/ridden 2 wheel motorcycles for 50+ years. My last bike was a 530lb 1987 Honda Super Magna and while it was quite fun for short rides, road trips would leave me with a sore butt. I went on a group ride with a bunch of other Super Magna owners and we ended up going on a 149 mile ride for lunch. I was on that bike for 9 hours that day and could barely walk at the end of it. I even skipped the following days ride because of it. I ended up selling it but not for that reason. Where I live now, it rains A LOT and riding that particular bike in the rain was not a fun experience.
The most appealing aspects of the spyder in my opinion are, 2 wheels up front for stability, the semi-auto transmission and of course, the storage capacity.
Go for a second hand low mileage one instead , i bought a lovely 2012 Spyder RS for £10,000 , I've been out on it every day rain or shine , I've seen many for less money than that as well ...don't waste time , life is short ...all the best
Good points CB3! God bless, Rob
Love your video. Can u tell me how many miles u have on it .and what year it is
My RT (non-limited) is a 2019 and I am approaching 30K miles. It has been a great machine.
Hi Bob,
I'd be interested in knowing your thoughts on someone buying their first Can Am Spyder used? I've been watching a lot of your videos, my wife and I are going through your Keywest to Maine videos and I love watching them. Thanks
My wife and I bought a 2016 Spyder RT Limited with about 10,000 miles on it. The RideNow dealership made our experience enjoyable and we love the handling that the bike had. We are adding in a bunch of upgrade modifications to the bike for further safety and easy of maintenance. We hope you can find one that you will enjoy riding.
Paul, I'm going to throw in my two cents...I bought my first Spyder F3 Limited used... It's a 2018 and I bought it in 2019 with 3,600 miles on it I now have over 56,000 miles on it. I would say it's just like buying a used car or truck. There's always a risk but you probably still have some warranty depending on the year. Who knows? My next one may be used also. Hubby says I can give him mine when I'm ready for another one lol 🤗💜
@@davidwalters7600 Thank David, I may be getting my first Spyder F3-T this weekend. I got a deal on a 2022, 1k off shipping and assembly fee and 500 off MSRP so I feel I got a good deal. Hopefully this weekend I'll be parking it in my driveway. God Bless
@@PurpleOnThree Hey there Purple, I've been watching your videos as well. Very impressed by all your journeys. My wife claims she will not ride on my Spyder, so I don't see me driving the distances you have. Thanks for giving your two cents about purchasing a used Spyder. I think it is smart to get a better price and more accessories and a lot of the used deals I've seen are low miles in my opinion. God Bless
@@Brute750 best wishes, Paul! Excited and happy for you! Your wife may change her mind...🙏😊. You don't have to drive miles and miles to enjoy a Spyder....I had a 20 mile ride last Saturday and I'm still smiling 😊. God bless! 💜
This is innovative bike
I had a spinal cord injury and have nerve damage in left hand . I can walk but also have nerve damage in my left leg . My issue is I can grip left grip but can’t open fingers to paddle shift easy . Do you think there is a way I could add paddle shifter to right side to . I live in High Springs Florida ! I’m looking at the Rally unit too because of price and just twist throttle and go ! Great video as well !
Awesome points made and a great video! Thanks!
I’m not familiar with the CanAm Spyder and enjoyed your video. Is it an automatic transmission or does it have a clutch? Thank you!
I have been riding for 56 years, summer of 1967. I started with a Honda 55, yes 55. I have a BMW R1150RT, I love that bike, with age and a bad heart I can't hold it up any more, the last I tried to ride it I dropped it and now I fear getting back on it. Dammit I miss riding almost as much as I miss being young. This looks like it would work, not counter steering would drive me nuts.
Because it's FUN!! Normies ride in cars. Normal is Boring!!
If I’m riding on very curvy roads… what’s my turning/cornering ability? Thanks.
I love your videos! Very knowledgeable. I had no idea how much storage it has. That is one thing that has me looking at a Spyder. The other reason is I feel safer on it when it’s wet outside. On a motorcycle not so much
That a great bike, but the down side is it expensive to maintain especially when you have to get something fix.
