Just acquired a 2020 RTL in Blue, already have 600mi on the clock first week. Riding in the northern Shenandoah Valley, in the 40 degree range , I'm Loving this spyder , kept my 2018 GSA R1200. I am truly blessed to be able to have these Machines . Be Safe.
Have seen the new 2020 RT Limited at our yearly motorcycle show, one new feature l like is that you just have to flip up the front seat, to refuel. The seats are divided.Your pillion does not have to get off the bike.Have seen other vloggers show this on RUclips, perhaps on a upcoming vlog, you can show this feature for your viewers. Cheers, and have a pleasant weekend.🙂🏍🇨🇦
Shawn your mood is infectious. BRP is going to have to introduce the Smoak edition soon! I am looking forward to showing the 2020 Spyders to the misses. She is already talking about upgrading from the Ryker. Thanks for the great video.............Cheers!
I am brand new to the spider. I ride a victory vision but is getting to difficult to push it back,so the wife and I ordered a 2020 RTL red dark edition. we will not get it till probably the end of march still got a foot of snow. I love your remarks and if you like it I am sure we will love it. Keep up the great reviews.
When u were in the twisties, it hit me and then I knew you were taking her home. I've caught on to your sneaky ways when u get a demo or new ride. Lol. I do like that petrol metallic, but this is a very close second, plus I like the blacked out trim especially around the dash. No glare in your face. Awesome choice sir, I can't wait for more vids, especially in the warm summer evenings. Enjoy it and you enjoy it too Kelly. 👍👍👍👍👍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍
Hi Smoaks...after I watched your video review about the RTLimted. It took me two days to decide to purchase it. And now I own one and upgraded to Bajaron sway bar. wow..it made a difference...love your vids and keep up a good work .
Well if I wasn't sold on RT limiteds, I am now. Thanks Smoak. That dark edition in any color just melts my heart. Just enjoy and stay safe and I will purchase a cup to catch my melting heart. Lol
I have a 2015 F3S. I love it ever sense I took it for a test ride. I was never a fan of the RT until now. After seeing the videos you have made on the new RT I am seriously thinking of selling or trading my F3S and getting the new RT in that gorgeous Petrol Blue. BRP does it again. They are going to need extra shifts and they still will not be able to build them fast enough. Wow! What a gorgeous amazing machine. Incredible. You made another amazing video. BRP needs to give you a huge paycheck. Your videos sell more Spyder than all of BRP's combined advertisements.
The blue was a pretty color but the chalk is a keeper. Whites, reds and blacks you never get tired of unlike other colors. Hopefully we’ll have some here soon.
I ride the goldwing 1800 series. Mine is a 2007 which is in mint condition! I'm 6'4" so I had to take the seat to the upholstery shop and have them add three inches in height. And cut up to 4 inches back to be able to fit on it which leaves next to no room for the wife! I was looking at the new Goldwing and found my knees hit the fairing and felt uncomfortable. My wife was disappointed with the back seat comfort! And then we stopped at a boat dealership to get my boat serviced and they sold the Can Am spyder! My wife and I noticed how long the seat was! We fell in love with it! I was looking at the limited RT. I hated that my wife could not go with me on my bike! So to all those couples out there that are taller than the average person! This is for you! It will be a year before I get mine. Looking forward to riding as a couple and not by myself!
Thanks for the video. I went from a 2013 RT limited to a 2018 F3 limited because of knee pain. But I really miss my RT. How is the wind protection compared to a F3? How do the new style floor boards feel? My RT was great on mountain roads... F3 feels like it is more work for me on corners?
The wind protection is considerably better on the new RT over the F3-LTD... The new floor boards are phenomenal, tons of room, and make mounting & dismounting the Spyder a breeze. If you like carving mountain roads, you’re really going to love the new RT! Take one for a ride, you’ll be hooked..! Lol Thanks Paula!!
Great video. How do the Spyders perform at highway /freeway speeds & passing? Speed limit is 75 & 80 mph here. Just need to be able to comfortably pass semi trucks. Serius/ XM radio?
You must be new to 1330 ACE powered Spyder’s... Lol. Highway speeds and passing is never a thought, these babies roll! No SeriusXM, but if you need to not focus on and enjoy the amazing ride, you can always push it through your phone app or an available (from SeriusXM) dongle attached to the AUX port... Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Aw shucks! You topped out at 76 mph in this video. I heard the sound in between the shifts, as well. Thought I was watching a Fast and The Furious movie for a second. The chalk color would make a great police motorcycle. Call and ask Erik Estrada, and let us know. Looking forward to some vlogs to Winlock on the 2020 demo Spyder. Good stuff Smoak.
Congrats on the new demo. I'm looking forward to plenty of videos about it. I thought it looked kinda ugly in the early pics I seen of them but it looks awesome on video. The lines of it reminds me a lot of the newer Goldwings. Super sharp. Think Kelly and you are ready for a good vacation on the RT LTD & the SGS. 👍
What is the big difference between the 2020 vs 19 rt limited. I'm about to purchase and I do like the deals on the 2019s or should I hold off until there are deals on the 2020s
Man just riden my Triumph 1200 rt for 12000 ks and when I watched your video fell in love with it, can see my self and my wife riding that gorgeous spyder, greeting from downunder , Australia
Way cool. I dont think you fooled anyone with the I missed my turn bit Smoak if they follow you at all on RUclips. I had a feeling you would have one of the first as a demo. I guess you have to take the f3 back to make room in the garage so you can get the ridgeline back in. So happy for you and Kelly. Enjoy.
Man this vlog gets a 10 out 10....man you are one lucky man...it’s ok to be a little (or maybe a it’s lot) envious right. That Spyder is amazing, can wait to look at one. A new Spyder, a train and a new Spyder ... oh man just love it. The dark edition is 👌😎 Waiting all night for this one, thanks. Of course now we need a more in-depth look at that thing 😁
Great post guys. Your enthusiasm is contagious Mr Shawn, lov it. With the chalk color, I would wrap the nose with the head of a Baldy during a dive decent, and the front side panels with the wing spread.
@@TheSmoaksVlogs Well, a year or more back, your garage area had a Spyder (if I remember correctly) wrapped in an unforgettable red, white and blue theme, was/still is very inspiring! NOW,it's after 12am and way past your bedtime! So get some rest please, soz you can continue crankin' out these truly wonderful posts!
WOW! WAY COOL! I like that chalk, too! I can't wait to see one of the new RTs in real life. From what I've seen on your videos, the toughest decision is going to be what color!
a few years ago in the spring I was on my two wheeler heading up over green mountain just like you went on old hiway 99 and just up hill from that straight away next to i5 in those curves I came across two or three gravel patches where the road slipped ---exiting!
I figured you we’re taking that one home when you hit the highway lol! It’s nice to work for a company that allows you to take advantage of those perks! Enjoy your weekend, hope you get some good riding weather!👍
When i saw the Chalk dark on the first video I was sold and I see you ended up with it. I just have to see the chrome version to finalize my decision. Thanks for your honest opinions it really helps.
You have to much fun man... Your truely living the dream I think...good for you brother.....love your channel , I'm a new sub for a week or so now and I'm watching more and more of your videos every day!.....I love how you open them with a view of your property, which is beautiful I must say....i look forward to continue to keep watching your channel!.....Mitch from Washington county, Pennsylvania.
+ Michael Mitchell Welcome Michael, where have you been? :-) Shawn has another channel ShawnSmoake you should check that out too if you haven't already. I heartily recommend his tours to Yosemite, Yellowstone, Mt St Helens, Mt Rainer....well you get the picture......
Everytime I Catch A Video It's Like The First Time A Yr Ago I Seen The Fist One I Came Across Of You "She Can Ride A GSA Low" lol I still remember that One 😊... Blessings & Health #Smoak
I figured that you were taking that Spyder home. The last two years when you brought home new Spyders you did a similar route. I’m glad you got that one. Congratulations. Kelly and You have a great weekend
You didn't have us 'old timers' fooled for a minute Shawn! We knew from the 'off' that was your new demo bike! She's already paid back your decision to choose her as the demo bike, she's a train and Bald Eagle magnet! I see great trips / tours?? Ahead for you and Kelly on the 2020 RT
I've been watching your channel for years a big fan and I'm a rider. I am really looking into buying a Rt spyder within next few months .being portland pro caliber, will be a first look at something used by maybe 4 years old. Hope to meet you..
Were you excited? I think you were excited. LOL! Now I want to ride one! So I guess the F3 is going to go back to the dealership? I hope y'all have a great weekend. Peace and love.
Great video! How smooth is the ride? Do you feel every bump, pothole and crack in the road? (Pennsylvania roads are terrible) I ride a Triumph Bonneville and after about 2 hours in the saddle I’m ready to park it! I love the Spyder lineup and was considering one. Are they “accepted “ in your motorcycle community? I live in Harley country, not a damn thing wrong with them , it’s just not my thing, that’s why I got a a Triumph, to be different.
Great video as always! Could you explain how the demo process works? Seems like a great job benefit for sure, but, what is the advantage to the dealer to have such an expensive bike unavailable for sale? Just curious.
The bike has to be registered through BRP as a demo, and with that, it has to meet demo status rules set by BRP such as miles, exposure, etc... Because it will have miles on the unit, BRP allows us to discount the price and the unit leaves with a new warranty that starts the day of new owner purchase. The bike can be sold at any time, but if the demo criteria isn't met, there is no discount, but the warranty still starts at the time of purchase. The advantage to BRP and the dealer is vehicle exposure... Thanks Jay!!
Very good video I was very impressed with you going through the curves I'm in the market wanted the Honda trike very expensive was looking at the harley triglide very expensive and not up to date so I have to take another look at the can am Rt limited
@@TheSmoaksVlogs very nice! I never expected half of the sceen to switch over to a map. Do you know if its Apple only or Andriod Auto too? I think I'm going to need a Trike sooner than I expected. I think the Triglide is beautiful but I think I'd enjoy the RT more (plus about $ 9I less). Thank you very much for all the info you provide on all the bikes.
+Jim Haskell My understanding from Shawns' video's is Procaliber do the alignment as a 'customer service' to their customers. My advice would be to check with your dealer if they do it as part of the PDI inspection and if not try to negotiate it into the purchase price. That Petrol Metallic (Teal Blue) one was way out of alignment for a new bike. Check out this video, Shawn removes both hands from the handlebars on more than one occasion, the steering runs 'dead true' with no hands on the 'bars.
Laser aligning is a service we've provided on new Spyders since early 2013. It is not a required setup & PDI service by BRP, so it's up to your dealer to perform the laser alignment... I can tell you that since 2017, they've been really close out of the box. Thanks Jim!!
They weren’t actually missing... Lol. I had made it out into the country and there was only one road out there to show. I was just fooling around with you guys, like I got lost on a test ride. Thanks!!
Hey Smoke, can’t wait until these hit the UK in March time. I’ve never ridden an RT but so looking forward to do a test ride, when they hit the show rooms. Is it very different from the previous model or will I still get the feeling if I take out last years model for a spin.
I’ve liked the look of these since I became an amputee nearly 10 yrs ago, but was never fully convinced. But I really love the look of these new RTs and cannot wait.
Are you sure you didnt get lost intentionally to make your ride longer? Oh, I speak dog and Sparky was trying to tell you he wanted to go with you. Nice video !
Boy, I thought I was excited about the 2020 RTL. You put me to shame. But very glad to hear that. I was wondering about the RTL's alignment. Did you do the other four? Our dealer here does not have a Laser Alignment. Should I let them adjust it if it needs it? I am going to have them check it. I'd like to tell them what you found. My 2014 RTL was never checked and it drove like a dream until I sold it at 10K miles. When I see that white one, I see a project for WrapMySpYder.com.
If they don't have the laser alignment tool, they can't check the alignment..! I doubt the old frame alignment bar procedure of yesteryear would even work on the 2020 RT. Plus, you'd have a greater chance of throwing it off using that procedure..! Laser alignments are not a part of the setup/PDI procedure from BRP, it's a free service that we provide to our new bike customers that's performed before the Spyder goes up for sale. You were either the luckiest MY2014 Spyder owner ever, or you simply didn't notice the alignment was off, as they all were off by a bit back then... From 2017 up, with few exceptions, the amount they're off would most likely not be noticeable to most. The Petrol Metallic LTD from yesterday was not noticeable during my quick test ride, but as you seen, it was in fact off. We want to know every new Spyder is perfect before it leaves. That's a peace of mind worth absorbing the cost of laser alignments. Haven't had a new owner alignment complaint or issue since 2013... Would be a shame to cover the beautiful off-white metallic paint on this "Chalk" RT... But that's my opinion. Thanks Jack!!
@@TheSmoaksVlogs Thanks, Shawn. I won't let them mess with it. We (My 2014 and 2020 RTL's will plan a trip to ProCal and schedule a couple of alignments with you. I would love to know if I was 'lucky' or they did it right at the factory. You are right about not covering up that White, but I always need to make my bikes 'my own'. I have a feeling with the Blue (Teal?) and chrome, I'll need some way to pick it out of a crowd, LOL. I hope not to go too crazy like I did on the 2014. Ride safe, -JackinSpokane
Dang, again Shawn you have sold me on the RT, I gotta get it together and sell my GW/Road Smith Trike, check this thing out at Barney's of Brandon, FL. Thanks for theses amazing 2020 RT Vlogs.
sforgive me oh nobel spider Gods. I don't know what guy had but it sure wasn't a 2020 rt . Those look great. Love the Blue color. Any chance they may bring back the Orange color 14-15?
Great looking 2020 RT Limited. Thanks for taking us with you on the demo ride.

Hi Mr. Smoak, Joe from SF here. Great video. You guys live in such a cool area.
Yes, I"m totally in love with Rt Can-am,with a group of friends coming from France, I made Route 66 with an 2018 RT from Chicago to Los Angeles
Nice Demo, can't wait to see all of the future vlogs with it. Also a good looking one, saw the color online but looks much nicer here.
Shawn Is there a year you like for a used Cam Am RT? I'm trying to keep in the $12,000 range. Thank You
Check out SRK cycle. They are reasonable and will come off their prices they are great at finding real low mileage motorcycles

Love this with the dark finish ❤❤❤
Great video!!! You are one lucky guy to be able to work on and test drive all these Spyder.

I can understand people not hitting the "Like" button. But why would ANYONE give it a "Thumbs down?"
Thanks Gary!!

After watching all your videos on your slim, i finally went out and got me one. Picking it up next week.
Way cool..! Congratulations and thanks!!
thats the dogs bits,luv it

Anyone notice that was a very long train? I guess I'm used to the commuter ones in NJ.
I have a riding course for August. I've never rode a motorcycle. I'm buying one Christmas.
Have fun!
Like a kid with a new toy 😎😎
I can’t believe Kelly didn’t take for a spin 😎😎
SST should definitely be the name. Comfy like a tour, but gets up like it weights 200 lbs
That’s gonna be a great demo. Train and bald eagle on the way home 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😎😎
Were you excited? I think you were excited. LOL! Now I want to ride one! So I guess the F3 is going to go back to the dealership? I hope y'all have a great weekend. Peace and love.
Lol... The F3-LTD will go back on Monday, should the weather hold out.
Thanks TJ!!
Shawn I recently bought a 2016 Can Am RT-S, I'm stationed in Germany and I have some questions.
that is nice i still love the blue one so different to last year model yea
New to my research into the Spyders. Most likely looking to buy used. Is there a difference between this 2020 and the 2019?
Great look'n RT-LTD! And thanks for making crave a bottle of Guiness! Head'n to the liquor store now! :D
You and Kelly should take both the Spyders out for a dual VLOG spin while you still have both of them, if the weather permits :)

What a great machine to get lost on
How does the 2021 f3 t handle compared to this one thanks. That is one good looking spyder
Great video as always! Could you explain how the demo process works? Seems like a great job benefit for sure, but, what is the advantage to the dealer to have such an expensive bike unavailable for sale? Just curious.
The bike has to be registered through BRP as a demo, and with that, it has to meet demo status rules set by BRP such as miles, exposure, etc... Because it will have miles on the unit, BRP allows us to discount the price and the unit leaves with a new warranty that starts the day of new owner purchase. The bike can be sold at any time, but if the demo criteria isn't met, there is no discount, but the warranty still starts at the time of purchase.
The advantage to BRP and the dealer is vehicle exposure...
Thanks Jay!!
TheSmoaksVlogs Thanks very much!
Very good video I was very impressed with you going through the curves I'm in the market wanted the Honda trike very expensive was looking at the harley triglide very expensive and not up to date so I have to take another look at the can am Rt limited
Can-Am = Stability Plus ... You Can't Drop A Spyder!! 👍😁🤘🇦🇺 Beanie
Very nice video. Glad your excited about your next year. I was surprised to see a map on its dash. Were you using Apple Car Play or Android Auto?
I was using Genius Maps through my iPhone via BRP Connect system...
Thanks Jim!!
@@TheSmoaksVlogs very nice! I never expected half of the sceen to switch over to a map. Do you know if its Apple only or Andriod Auto too? I think I'm going to need a Trike sooner than I expected. I think the Triglide is beautiful but I think I'd enjoy the RT more (plus about $ 9I less). Thank you very much for all the info you provide on all the bikes.
BRP Connect is Apple and Android friendly.
Thanks!
Well Kelly better not be falling asleep on the back then since you got that big gap. Looks Amazing! 👊😎
Very true..! Might know that she had left the vehicle till I stopped for gas? Lol
Thanks Walter!!
Oh dear, oh help my Can Am just kidnapped me and made me go for a long run, nudge nudge wink wink.
I want a 2021 Sea to Sky. An incredible machine for traveling the states. I hope I can get a matching trailer.
Shawn I am going to my local dealer to purchase my question is should they and will they re-align the front end before delivering it
+Jim Haskell My understanding from Shawns' video's is Procaliber do the alignment as a 'customer service' to their customers. My advice would be to check with your dealer if they do it as part of the PDI inspection and if not try to negotiate it into the purchase price. That Petrol Metallic (Teal Blue) one was way out of alignment for a new bike. Check out this video, Shawn removes both hands from the handlebars on more than one occasion, the steering runs 'dead true' with no hands on the 'bars.
Laser aligning is a service we've provided on new Spyders since early 2013. It is not a required setup & PDI service by BRP, so it's up to your dealer to perform the laser alignment... I can tell you that since 2017, they've been really close out of the box.
Thanks Jim!!
The Spyders never really interested me much, but this one really caught my attention, especially in the Petrol.
Love it, I started watching you for the Spyders. You looked so super excited! Any long trips on the Spyder in the summer?
There are some trip talks in the works, but nothing confirmed yet...
Thanks for watching and commenting Bob!!
Congrats!
She’s gorgeous! ❤️
Shawn, on the GPS map, try zooming in. That should bring up those roads you're missing. Garmin has a similar issue.
They weren’t actually missing... Lol. I had made it out into the country and there was only one road out there to show. I was just fooling around with you guys, like I got lost on a test ride.
Thanks!!
Hey Smoke, can’t wait until these hit the UK in March time. I’ve never ridden an RT but so looking forward to do a test ride, when they hit the show rooms. Is it very different from the previous model or will I still get the feeling if I take out last years model for a spin.
From Shawn's video, I'd say wait to ride the new version, seems like quite an upgrade. Just my opinion. YMMV
It still has the Spyder nuances of past 1330 ACE RT's, just highly, highly refined..! A noticeable upgrade for sure!
Thanks Graig!!
I’ve liked the look of these since I became an amputee nearly 10 yrs ago, but was never fully convinced. But I really love the look of these new RTs and cannot wait.
Are you sure you didnt get lost intentionally to make your ride longer? Oh, I speak dog and Sparky was trying to tell you he wanted to go with you. Nice video !
I want the Blue one please. Thank you!!! You can deliver to Maryland.
Boy, I thought I was excited about the 2020 RTL. You put me to shame. But very glad to hear that. I was wondering about the RTL's alignment. Did you do the other four? Our dealer here does not have a Laser Alignment. Should I let them adjust it if it needs it? I am going to have them check it. I'd like to tell them what you found. My 2014 RTL was never checked and it drove like a dream until I sold it at 10K miles. When I see that white one, I see a project for WrapMySpYder.com.
If they don't have the laser alignment tool, they can't check the alignment..! I doubt the old frame alignment bar procedure of yesteryear would even work on the 2020 RT. Plus, you'd have a greater chance of throwing it off using that procedure..! Laser alignments are not a part of the setup/PDI procedure from BRP, it's a free service that we provide to our new bike customers that's performed before the Spyder goes up for sale.
You were either the luckiest MY2014 Spyder owner ever, or you simply didn't notice the alignment was off, as they all were off by a bit back then... From 2017 up, with few exceptions, the amount they're off would most likely not be noticeable to most. The Petrol Metallic LTD from yesterday was not noticeable during my quick test ride, but as you seen, it was in fact off. We want to know every new Spyder is perfect before it leaves. That's a peace of mind worth absorbing the cost of laser alignments. Haven't had a new owner alignment complaint or issue since 2013...
Would be a shame to cover the beautiful off-white metallic paint on this "Chalk" RT... But that's my opinion.
Thanks Jack!!
@@TheSmoaksVlogs Thanks, Shawn. I won't let them mess with it. We (My 2014 and 2020 RTL's will plan a trip to ProCal and schedule a couple of alignments with you. I would love to know if I was 'lucky' or they did it right at the factory. You are right about not covering up that White, but I always need to make my bikes 'my own'. I have a feeling with the Blue (Teal?) and chrome, I'll need some way to pick it out of a crowd, LOL. I hope not to go too crazy like I did on the 2014. Ride safe, -JackinSpokane
Dang, again Shawn you have sold me on the RT, I gotta get it together and sell my GW/Road Smith Trike, check this thing out at Barney's of Brandon, FL. Thanks for theses amazing 2020 RT Vlogs.
Lovely RT there Shawn 🍺
sforgive me oh nobel spider Gods. I don't know what guy had but it sure wasn't a 2020 rt . Those look great. Love the Blue color. Any chance they may bring back the Orange color 14-15?
We never know the future plans from BRP, or any other publicly traded manufacturer until it's released to the world...
Thanks Tony!!
I like the White it’s not to White ....oh wait can I say that...oh gee probably not PC 😂😂
Lol... Thanks Bill!!
Your going to have to buy it now. To many miles on it
Great ride but you've got some cleaning to do.
