Plus remember this is Canada where we pay much more than you do in the states for comparable items. So maybe it is demographics as far as sales. Also just a comment about California and Spyders. Many times when I read a article about California and trikes the author does not like them because you cannot lane split with a trike. Just my opinon which does not mean much. Bob
You lucky dog! Vancouver Island!

Anyway, yes I do think it is regional and dealer-driven as far as how well the local market is developed for Spyders. I think Can-Am probably has their target demographics pretty well dialed in.
