It's not a bike... but it is one damn cool trike... I bet it shags like a minx .. I mean corners really well...

2008 Can-Am Spyder Test

 

LMFAO

 

garbage.I like it at 1st till I saw how they perform in person at bike week.A car and a bike can corner better.The motor is slower then a 600.Just a big dissapointment to me

 

agreed

 

i think it has a market potential for sure. Older people who dont or are scared to learn on two wheels will buy these for the same reason everyone buys motorcycles, the "free" feeling of not being in a cage.

 

Well it is heavier than a bike, so I did expect acceleration to be less than a supersport bike.

I disagree in that a bike can corner faster. I'd like to see a test cause it looks like it can carry more speed (g's into a corner) it's got more grip than a bike, an advantage of its 3 wheel design with two wheels up front instead of the rear like the goldwing trikes.

 

fucking garbage

 

Its deffinatly got a market. handicap people who dont have two legs, or someone with a bad foot or leg would deff get it due to not having to suport the weight. plus the added safty you would have with tire blow outs i would think would have the lawyer-type guys who just wanna cruise on the beach worry free buying them. cause as we all kno you loose tracktion on 2 wheels, and your Fucked 90% of the time, you loose tracktion on that and it would be like hydro plaining a car. not fun but atleast your not rolling down the cement.

 

I test drove one when CAN-AM brought them to the shop back in April. I hated it. It rides like a 4 wheeler and tracks the road bad. It leans the wrong way in a turn so you feel like you're going to flip over so you have to slow way down to turn. It's definitely not for someone who does not like the feel of a 4 wheeler. The braking was just OK.

On the positive note, it was comfortable and easy to operate. It had amazing power for what it was. I was able to do a burn out without even trying.

Will there be a market for it? I think so. It's a reverse trike. It's neat. It's for someone who loves to ride but just can't do 2 wheels anymore.

Time will tell.

 

A friend of mine drove one a while back. He said it handles like shit, braking is so-so, but it's got a bit of power... enough to smoke the tire.
