Forever mystified by Can Am's lack of style...

This was my solution-Asphalt grey to Dragon Fire red by way of a vinyl wrap

For the RTL's I think the Asphalt Grey is the best color. It changes color depending on lighting.

My 2003 BMW R1150RT is almost exactly the same color, and does that same gray/blue color shifting. I named her Emma Gray, because that is the question she is always asking.

I am forever mystified about Can Am and the lack of desire to provide new or more exotic paint colors and schemes for the new Spyders. The other Can Am models of 3 wheelers and certainly the ATV's or jet skis have many color choices, but not us RT riders, no no. We get 4 colors to chose from, but we can chose chrome or black. I ride a '21 RT Limited and there have been NO changes to the more current models that would make me consider an upgrade. Woohoo, Apple CarPlay (that isn't reliable), but I am a Samsung user. I know I can get custom paint done, but who wants to spend $30K on a machine, then another $5-$10k on custom paint? Every year, I wait with anticipation as to what they will release for the next year and I have been terribly disappointed every year. Granted, the machine is as close to perfect as one can get, but spice it up a little already! Chris

You can also find a member to swap panels with for a custom machine.

The first time I experienced this I asked the owner how she ended up with a color scheme that I knew was not factory. Sometimes people have to explain things to me that are obvious to everyone else. She didn't answer me but took me to her friends Spyder saying, "Let me show you something".

Both machines looked really good with the swapped panels. And it didn't cost them a thing.

If you are looking for style, you might have picked the wrong machine. Almost all my rides were black, and when my ride is doing what I bought it for, I'm looking down the road, so color hasn't much to do with anything.
