These aren't motorcycles and they shouldn't be able to use them for the motorcycle test. There is a big difference between 2 and 3 wheels. ;D

 

[rodekill]

I see it as a trike. Not sure if those qualify for the test you referenced.

 

[strykenshane]

Yeah, they can use them to take the test in GA

 

[ronin]

Been looking at those, thinking about picking one ... in about 60 years .... when I can't balance a motorcycle anymore

 

[snowman68]

My uncle picked one up because it's faster than his screaming eagle softtail... By the way he's around 82

 

[UrbanRage]

Anyone had the chance to put the Stryker up against one?

 

[snowman68]

I may get a chance this summer he wants to ride together sometime but with his age he only rides when really nice out

 

[strykerhulk]

I Demo the can am spyder the sport one. It is nice in the sport model you sit like if you where in a sport bike with legs bent back. These things are fast. They have manual and semi-Auto.

 

[snowman68]

My uncle was on his 03 H-D and his buddy on the can am the did a few rolling starts and every time it would just blow past the H-D, so he bought one just for the speed and the fun factor..... Lol old motor heads never die

Well here i'am gang i can answer your questions because i have one. Let me begin by saying these are nothing like motorcycles accept for the engine and throttle. BRP markets these as roadster's and yes you can take your road test on them in New York state if you test on 2 wheels you can drive both 2 and 3 wheels if you test on a three you are limited to just 3 wheels. Yes its fast 0-60 4.5 seconds. I will see if i can post my you tube video here.
Most of the video shows my lights i installed in my bags and the turn signals,brake lights under the seat also the plate bracket. its not the video i was thinking of too show you but the one i wanted you to see i have not uploaded to you tube cause it takes so long. Yes i added all the lights on the bike even the ones on the front fender and the ones under the front A arms. enjoy

Roger, Do you have any difficulty switching between the Spyder and bike? I rode a friend's for a period of time, and did not like the fact that it does not lean nor counter steer. Other than that, it was a blast to ride, and I didn't have to worry about it falling over if I forgot the kickstand ;D

 

[christopher]

I'd rock one. I'm thinking about getting a second bike for the winter months so I can sit behind a screen. I just can't do it to the stryker. :-\

 

[Frag]

I do not like those. But I have to say that some of those trike are more powerful than any cruisers ... but not as much as Sportbike.

No not really but the first time you ride it it does take about 50-100 miles to get use to it.

I could understand that but their are advantages to the spyder like last year i was riding home from americade in lake george and it was raining hard and the guys on 2 wheels had to pull under an overpass to wait for the rain to slow down not me i just waved and blew the horn couple of them said i was number 1. lol. The other 2 advantages are you stay warmer on cooler rides and you can relax more on the spyder.

Well yes and no in a drag race i will beat any sport bike off the line but eventually he will catch up and pass me depending on how long the track is. The aftermarket for these things is awesome i changed out bar in the front i can take a turn fast than a sport bike. Check you tube i know their are a few spyders on their racing at the track.

 

[UrbanRage]

Dam they sound like a blast. I will have to watch some videos on you tube.

 

[Visionary]

I was told in NY, you can take the test on it (Can-Am) but you are restricted to 3 wheels. However if you take the test on a Trike you get your full license because the rear wheels on a Trike are considered accessories...

 

[christopher]

because the rear wheels on a Trike are considered accessories...

Thats probably for the removable training wheels.
