After owning one, are you guys still hype with it, compared to before you owned it?

[Jaxfann]

I own a Ryker 600 - 3 months - absolutely love ryding it - I am 76 years old and in good shape so can still ride 2 wheels, as I did most of my life, however the stability and more relaxed (but still very alert) feeling I have on 3 wheels is great for me - I ryde it every day!

I am on my 4 th can am and I am still enjoying the heck out of it. Mine is a 2016 RTL se 6 speed. Red in color.

Both My wife and I still love our Spyder after 3 years, we've ridden over 23,000 miles in our very limited riding seasons here in MN. Though now I've picked up some real cold weather gear to try out this coming winter.

I have to say that my F3 is more fun than I expected. Now that I've gotten over the major issues of unlearning/relearning that come with switching from 2 wheels to 3, my inner hooligan is coming out and I find myself gunning the F3 around in ways I hadn't done with a motorcycle for decades. Snow covered parking lots are especially fun... try that one on two wheels! The one thing I'd wish for on the F3T (with the F3L trunk) is bigger saddlebags - not enough room for a week's ride worth of clothes for me and the other half!

Had mine over 6 years now. No plans to change unless Can-am release a new version of the RS - unfortunately the Ryker is too small for me as otherwise I would have got one of those (and kept the RS).

No plans to return to 2 wheels either, only reason I will is if I wear out the RS and can't find a replacement as there's nothing in the current Spyder lineup that's suitable for me.

I love mine, and my car has been reduced to a few thousand miles a year (at best). Yes, of course, when it was new I would get up early just to ride it, and like all things that goes away. That said, I can't imagine being without it and would replace it, almost no matter the cost, if something happened to mine.

It was a great investment and has made a significant difference in my life and my lifestyle.

 

[JKMSPYDER]

I have owned my F3-S for over three years and have over 40,000 miles on it. I never get bored riding it. I plan on keeping it for 100,000 miles or more!

 

[Wahrsuul]

Only had mine just over a month, but I take every opportunity to ride it. A much more relaxed ride than my two-wheelers, and the only thing the wife will ride on so win-win for me.

We have had our RT since 2012. It is my wife's and does not get ridden by her nearly as much as should. That is because she is not as passionate about riding as I am. That being said, she loves her RT and, while I prefer two wheels, I do enjoy it too at times.

In reality, I think she bought the Can-Am for me to drive her. She is not a fan of riding on back of one of my motorcycles. She rides solo on the RT at times but just as much we use the Spyder for 2-up rides and trips. I am heading to out of town for the wedding of a friend's son in a couple weeks. I will be going solo and the wedding is about 400 miles away. Since the RT is so good at this type of long, highway haul with gear, I am leaning toward taking the RT vs my motorcycle. Lots of capacity for gear and coverage should it rain...which it always does in July/Aug in these parts. Similarly, we do a couple long weekend trips, two-up, each year and it works extremely well for our needs.

 

[LongIsland]

Have clocked over 50K miles on 2 RT LTD over 7 years. I ride every chance, any time of the day, any season of the year and anywhere I have to go. I have had no problems with either the 2012 or 2014. I would say that I love to ride my Spyder and the appeal has not eroded nor has the fun stopped.

Hope Jwill got his answer.

Our 2014 RTs in Circuit Yellow is a great machine. Just got back from an 11 day trip to Glacier Nat. Park and never gave a thought to reliability--- only the joy of being out in the wind. The ECU flash is the extra power the:spyder2: should have come with in the first place.

But the V-Max fills the bill for the need for speed and tilting horizons. Luckily I have no problem switching between the two great machines.

Wow. You guys are amazing. I’m getting close to the day of getting my first can-am, so all these comments made me even more confidence that i’ll enjoy them for sure.

Thank you guys.

Love my 2019 Special Series F3-S. In the UK Spyders are a rare sight, when people see me they think I am rich and a celebrity, no other ride I have owned makes me feel special.

 

[Chupaca]

Oh yeah !!!

It has not changed over the years..(2012) the same feeling each time I am out be it a short ryde or a trip. I have an RS sm5 and we will ryde off into the sunset as they have nothing as fun in the line up. :2thumbs:

 

[Yeochips]

9300 miles in 7 months. LOVE IT

 

[308gunner]

I'll never get tired of mine...why??...because they are fun...not many people have them...so it's unique!!!..and with certain upgrades you can make your spyder a lot faster... exciting!!!..it depends on what you want at the beginning...so the hype never goes away.

 

[Big F]

I'm on my 3rd Spyder and the "hype" is as strong today as it was with my first one 9 years ago!! I try and ride almost daily, especially on short errand runs where I don't have to carry bulky things back home.. AND, it beats the MPG of my 2019 RAM almost threefold...

[mmmdowning]

I love riding mine. Ride it to work almost every day, about 130 miles. I put just over 14000 miles in 14-15 months. Wouldn't change back to two wheels.

 

[Bob Denman]

What's this crap about "hype"? :dontknow:
It's the real deal! nojoke

 

[MakoShark2]

Oh yes... It's unique and a bit exclusive and exotic... Not only for the looks, but also the feel and ride.
