Just got a Can-Am Spyder

I picked up a Spyder last Saturday. Did'nt know if maybe there was someone else on here who had one. I will try to post pics after this weekend. Its outfitted with the phantom package. Very unique sounding and definatly is an attention getter. I know its not a true motorcycle but its a blast to drive and has great acceleration.

Nice. Always wanted to ride one of those. They are neat looking and a lot cooler looking than a trike (or whatever they are called).

its deff. a whole lot diffrent than riding a 2 wheel bike, the spyder is just not fast enough for me. and you dont have the ability to park it where you could park a 2 wheeler.

did you get the one with the push button shifting or the one with the clutch?

I got the manual one. SInce i have never had a two wheel bike to compare the speed to its just fast enough for me. I cruise with old timers anyways. My father in law has a 75 vw trike so its enough to keep up with him. It definatly draws some attention tho.

The recall is that everyone needs to return them cause you look like a homo riding one.


Get a 1000RR and call it a day.

I saw one upcloes the other week. I'm not sure how I feel about em'. Maybe thats becuase I already have a motorcycle so I feel like they are like a fake me out...
Can you take those on the HOV?
