Latest issue of Rider magazine (September) has a review of the hotted-up RS-S model. I had no idea its fuel economy was so bad.

My father n i have put over 25000 on ours till i got rid of mine due to moving up to Northern VA. They are great for long journeys and a lot easier to drive than a motorcycle. He got one because 15 years ago broke his neck and can not squeeze the fornt brake lever due to the spinal injury. The can-am having a 3 wheel abs foot brake was perfect. There have been 0 problems with ours. I have a GSXR 1000 as well that i kept due to my adrenaline addiction. Weve taken many corners at high speeds and got them on 2 wheels but have never felt unsafe about it. If your looking for a nice cruising/sporty bike its perfect. Its nice to go on rides with wife/girlfriend and not have to balance the extra weight as well. I highly recommend the Can-am spyder!!!!! But only in manual...and it has reverse which helps too....

Only thing 1 thing I can remember when thinking about can ams. My buddy had a 02/03 Ss camaro with slp this and slp that. Well were sitting at a light in his car and a guy pulls up on a can am. The guy on can am looks at my buddy like he's king shit on turd hill and starts bouncing this thing off the rev limiter. Lol. Light turns green and my buddy smokes the piss out of it. I about died laughing. Next light guy wouldn't come back next to.car he sat at.rear quarter panel like he was in time out.lol.

This is a scooter so it is an automatic, but probably more fun than a Can Am and better traction than a regular motorcycle. Tougher for a newbie to low side.

We outgrew tricycles when we were little, why would you revert back to one when you get older?

My friend (his family) owns a dealership here that sells these. Per him, its more like riding a snowmobile - they are fun going straight, but cornering can get tiresome. I want to go ride one, but after falling off a snowmobile at speed trying to corner, I am hesitant
