That's a pretty good review for the :spyder2:

I was wondering if anyone was going to mention the steering dampener.. They are about $500 ish...

And I LOVE this line... and the Spyders stock exhaust note sounded terrible. However, there is a Two Brothers aftermarket carbon fiber exhaust that sounds excellent. No save that, its one of the best sounding exhausts PERIOD. :yes::bowdown::firstplace:

Great article...I especially like this:

The Spyder was fun to ride and I do mean a lot of fun to ride. Unlike most bikes, the Spyders three wheel set up makes the task of convincing your girlfriend or wife to ride is much easier.

My Bride of 50 years would never ride with me until I got the Spyder!

Finally an article about the RS (in public opinion considered a Cinderella compare with the RT). :2thumbs:

Not sure how you would attach it. It will take some creativity, and a conscious effort to retain the same geometry that the unit was designed for. It would be nice to see one adapted...or a kit for the adapter parts. Not sure how the steering torque sensor would react.

I didn't care for this comment,

"Similar to a Mickey Mouse shaped ice cream sandwich, I only saw the Can-Am Spyder as a novelty act. Yeah its "swell" but a thick, rectangle shaped Blue Bunny ice cream sandwich is still tops."

Nice well rounded write-up.

I dont like the novelty comment either.. be that as it may.. the spyder has been around for 3 years now.. I really wish BRP would advertise the Spyder more... Can you imagine how many people who have always wanted to experience the one road feel of riding a motorcycle but just could not get over the risk of major injury, or paying a ton of money for a bike and dropping it/laying it down.. there goes your investment.. Then there is learning to ride a motorcycle.. that can take a while and dont even think of carrying a passenger until you have mastered your riding skills just for yourself.. then train your passenger to lean with you while they are perched like some misserable little bird in a cage too small on the back praying to god that you dont get them killed and you wobble your way down the road in the wind... Like I said.. WHY DOESNT BRP ADVERTISE THE SPYDER MORE.. all the people that would love the thrill of riding a motorcycle without the major issues.. would go crazy over it.. I mean they are offering all the Thrills with none of the threats.. I think I have saw one Spyder commercial on TV and then never again.. The Spyder needs a Better Advertising Campain... We dont want it to be a novelty that was just produced a few years.. Its way to Cool for that and ahead of its time.. which is the scary thing because most things that are like that.. disapear because the general public didn't find out about it in time/the traditionalist could not accept being obsolete.. We all need to sell the Spyder to anyone that asks about them... The more Spyders/the more dealerships/easier to get parts & service/better prices on Spyder stuff that is more the norm than rare.. Think about it..

"I really wish BRP would advertise the Spyder more..."
Well they did a lot of advertising last year so maybe sales are at a comfortable level so far this year. Good article, hits the nail on the head!
