Alcoa Good Times in Alcoa, TN has them on the showroom floor. They have had some in stock since the Ryker first came out. Right now they have 2 or 3 900's. It's a couple of hours drive for you but...

Lower Priced SpydersThe “price repositioning” (as Can-Am calls it) of the Spyder lineup correlates to what the company says is a massive demand for their trikes in the used vehicle space. A whopping...
Yes, I am referring to other comments in reference to the reason for a motorcycle that leans and has 2 wheels up front.
Did you even read the article? Your answer is there and is explained very well.
Sorry to burst your bubble but the best, most skilled Spyder rider in the world could not beat the Niken on any road course providing the Niken rider was of equal skill and providing both machines...
I am sincere when I say I WAS seriously considering getting one as soon as they hit the showroom. However during a recent visit to the local Yamaha/Can Am dealership a 2017 Yamaha FZ-10 caught my...

Whether one likes the appearance or not is a subjective thing. However something that is not subjective is reliability and performance. The Yamaha Niken is based on the FJ-09 (for 2019 it is called...
I agree. If Honda builds a reverse trike based on the Goldwing it will only be a matter of time before Can Am closes the door on it's Spyder operation.
I could call fake news but I will give you the benefit of a doubt and say it is simply a case of you personally having a bad experience. Yamaha has been proven to be the most reliable motorcycle in...
You nailed it. Overall motorcycle sales are in a bit of a slump but it is more of a recession and not a depression, to use financial terms. The market will come back. BMW and Ducati are both...
Bingo! BRP did away with the only sporty machine in their line up - the RS. That and the very questionable reliability of the Spyder is what caused me to trade my RT for a Yamaha FJ-09.
You nailed it - man oh man did you nail it!
Why do you say that? Is it because you would tip over on a 2 wheel machine? Is that why you ride a Spyder? Nothing wrong with that but it is no reason to put down a more reliable machine that...
And the F3 is?
Wrong. It is for the most part an FJ-09 from the gas tank back. It has the same exact 115 hp inline triple as several other Yamaha's to include both the FJ-09 and the FZ-09. I currently ride an...
Exactly! It will be more stable than a two wheeler with better braking but yet handle like a two wheeler. It will as quick as most sport tourers in the twisties and a WHOLE lot quicker than a...
Can Am has had more than 10 years to get this worked out. A brand new Spyder and it gets codes off the showroom floor? The dealership doesn't have a clue? Give me a freaking break! I have owned 2...
I am riding a 2015 Yamaha FJ-09. Traded the Spyder RT for it and have never looked back. I had the Spyder because the wife said she would go 2 up only on a Spyder. After a while she was riding...
Excellent points and you are right on correct.
I want one! As to the Atom - the Atom has 4 wheels. Back to the vehicle in question: Did you notice how it doesn't lift the inside wheel in hard cornering? I want one!
Why don't you admit it and say you are a fan of ethanol. I know what you have said but your words betray you. Don't blame engine manufacturers because there would be no problems with small engines...
Ethanol production reduces the amount of corn that can be used for livestock feed and more importantly food for third world countries. ALL ethanol production should be stopped as soon as possible. ...
Well then I guess your wife and I have something in common.
I stand by my post.

Forgive me for saying this but I do so not to insult but to educate. If you remove your pads you are a fool. You should dress for the slide and not for the ride. Just because you are less likely...
Sorry to burst your bubble but a Spyder does not stand a chance against a Yamaha FJR 1300 ridden by an experienced rider.
Yamaha is number one. No doubt about it from me. I have owned 3 Yamaha's including the one I currently ride and they have been 100% reliable. When I go on long rides I do not worry about anything...
Oh really? I see problems reported here on new Spyders as well. The horror stories are out there and they are they same stories for the most part. Spyders are complex, I understand that, but if...
