Can-Am Spyder 3 wheel motorcycle

[bobaganoosh]

it looks like it would be fun to ride. i wouldnt compare it to a bike thought. looks just like a ski doo rev sled from the front. they got a niche going. if i had lot of money i would have one just for the hell of it but it definitly doesnt replace a bike

I liked them at 1st but the novelism has worn off. I don't think it'll last.

Rode one the other day and it was strange to say the least. Everytime i looked down i thought i was on a watercraft but on the street! Turning was really odd , out of habit i'm leaning one way and the can-am was going the other. I guess after awhile it 's alright, but i'm not a fan of it.[smirk]

That's not so quick

That's right along the lines a a full size truck, slower actually.
Ram 1500 has been quoted between 7 and 7.5 seconds

it is not about being quick... we ride Buells not the fastest things on the block... it is about the ride...

that tilting cockpit would be way more fun than 90% of the cars in production, taking a corner at a 45degree tilted cockpit with groceries or a kid in the back, better than an amusement park ride... and I'll take my XB9R over a Hyabusa any day...

 

[Dave A]

Kinda ugly really and I agree with buelladdicted.

I wonder if you coult put the tank traxx on it? You know what i mean?? They sell the kits for atv's. That would be a kick ass dirt road toy, three tank traxx ripping it uuppp!!

I rode one during a demo ride and liked it. It will corner way better than you think.
I also spent many years riding snomobiles and to me anyway, it felt very similar.

Why don't they just make quads street legal?

 

[DrogeN Omen]

I prefer the Lazareth Triazuma.

 

[WALLSXB]

WTF !?!? Is there a contest on who can make the strangest form of transportation? The Lazareth looks better than the CanAm . IMO !

Why don't they just make quads street legal?

I would feel better on the quad version too

or the V-12


but for more affordability yet still a sufficient level of insanity try one powered by a 300hp STI engine

or the GG quad(ster?) is a street legal quad powered by a BMW boxer twin

[DrogeN Omen]

lol that STI engine powered Quad was Built in New Zealand....

saw then testing it up and down the street of my parents old house...

its blindingly quick.
