What is it about the Spyder that

[SilverFox1]

I agree entirely with everything that was said above. At 63 yrs old I feel that my life has changed around completely. I now feel like I'm 63 yrs young and getting younger all the time. I pray God that my health holds up. I like the way it looks. The way it rides. The way it handles. I simply love everything about it. I have to make a confession though. I sincerely believe that what I probably love the most about my "Whyte-Steed" is the attention it gets every where we go. It makes me feel like a "Knight in shining armour" riding into town. It's a non stop question period every time we stop for fuel, coffee, ice-cream or just a rest stop along the road. I must admit that I realy enjoy every minute I spend with people asking questions. I have never had any problems with stupid questions or bad comments of any kind. Especially when they ask me "Are you allowed to land this thing anywhere you want"? I guess having spent 47 years of my life in sales has done that to me. I will never go back to two wheels.

PS This ryde is our ninth motorcycle! We purchased it for our 40th wedding anniversary. I guess you could say we're on cloud nine! Best of all,,, my wife really enjoys ryding with me now!!! :2thumbs:

Price?

Because it is so expensive so we'll look dumb being not happy with it?! (it's the same on any forum...best ever bike, car, camera, gun).
And for me it is easy to ride with only one and a half arm.

Life is not a dress rehearsal.

SAFETY: I can't lay this byke down like I could a two wheeler. With the 3 wheel stance, gravel & wet spots aren't really an issue, so we can ryde year round.

:agree:
Same here!

Personally for me with nerve damage in my hands and feet and not being able to hold up a bike and having a clutch to worry about I would not be riding a bike . The spyder RT S with SE5 transmission has allowed me the open air freedom of a bike with the stability and creature comforts that I need to be comfortable. I have met alot of great people and made some new friends to ride with. I can also ride with my friends that ride bikes too. I don't care about the fuel economy as I did not buy it for that . I ride it like a snowmobile and as with the snowmobile you are always looking ahead for fuel stops. I Bought it from a great dealership that is not the cheapest or closest to where I live but the dealership is a full line Platinum BRP dealership that have great staff that have fixed and will fix any spyder issues that may come up. I really enjoy riding our spyder and my wife has become quite a spyder ryder herself. She is slowly starting to want to get her motorcycle liscence but what is stopping her is that she must use a two wheeler to get her liscence as noe trike safety courses are yet available in Ontario.

Mark i took this off the mto website 8.How type of licence would be issued to riders who take their test on a BRP Can-Am Spyder?

• The “Spyder” has two wheels in front and one in back, a steering handlebar, straddle seats, right-foot actuated braking system (rather than handlebar actuated), and a clutch.
• Anyone taking his/her road test on the BRP Spyder would receive a restricted M class licence.
• This means, he/she could operate this type of motor tricycle only but not a two-wheeled motorcycle.
• The Spyder is an “open” vehicle, which has a windshield, no doors, no seatbelts and no airbags, and can accommodate one passenger straddled behind the driver, with an adjustable seat back.
