What do you call our Can Am’s
I’ve had my rt for a year now love it I’ve liked the Can Am’s all along, so I’ve been riding 2 wheels for 40+ years now I only have the rt. So should I call it my bike, trike, or spyder?
-
JMO, but it's not a bike, and a trike just brings to mind the normal single wheel forward trikes, so I just call it a Spyder. I call my
bike a Honda or the Interceptor, and the one before that a Yamaha or FJ, so yep, it's a Spyder. I don't go in for naming my vehicles
either.

BRP calls it a Roadster! I call it a bike, or trike, or motorcycle, depending on what word comes out my mouth or fingers! Most states by law call it a motorcycle since it has handlebars, less than four wheels, and you straddle it. If it has a steering wheel and you seat in a car-like seat, like a SlingShot, it's an autocycle.

When folks ask, "what is it", and they do, I tell them it's a Canam Spyder, if they want more details, then there's more to the story, and there usually is.

I call it my 'Weeble'. I don't name machines but since these wobble but don't fall down, Weeble seemed to fit.

It is a scooter. They all scooters. If it has a seat you sit straddle of like a horse and a set of handlebars, it is a scooter. All my Hondas, Yamahas, Harleys, every one was a scooter. The Can Am is a scooter too.
I was putting some groceries in the bag on the back yesterday and some guy in a car in the next parking spot asked me if it was street legal. Told him, yeah, got a tag, insurance and all. He asked, but can you ride it on the Interstate highways. Told him yeah, no reason why not. Then he asked what size engine it had. He didn't ask anything else when I told him a 1330 cc.

We have had both motorcycles and motortricycles (Missouri always mentions both together in the vehicle codes.) since 1993. We call our RTL the Spyder, or sometimes the trike because, well, it is. I also have a 2013 Triumph Bonneville T100, and as the other 2 wheelers I've had, it is the bike.
As an aside, though it can be considered a reverse trike, Missouri considers the Slingshot as an "autocycle", not a motorcycle or motortricycle. An autocycle is a 3 wheeled vehicle that is fully or partially enclosed, controlled by a steering wheel and pedals in a non-straddle seating area.

A friend does vinyl decals and he told to send him artwork and he'll do it. I didn't care for the BRP badges, and having had four Alfas - Yeah, I'm an Alfisti - I covered the badges with the ones I like. I did this to the top case too.
