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.
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

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.
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...
The Spyder is More like a SeaDoo On Wheels LoL!!! Id Rock It!...... For My Wife?? She would prolly enjoy it more than me??? But Rogers Spyder Is More Like My Taste If I Get One.... Love The LED's Looks Tight

These are definitely not motorcycles. They were actually first created by Bombardier (sub company now Can Am) a snowmobile manufacturer up here in Canada. If you look at them they are very similar to snowmobiles, except skies are replaced by two wheels and the track is replaced by a large centre wheel.
If you can't balance your motorcycle anymore, then its a great way to still enjoy the road.
I agee and it matters not if it is a real motorcycle or not. Those that ride them enjoy the wind in thier face or fist in the wind if you will. Wether it has two wheels or three, it is not a cage.
These things are like driving a scooter, or a fat chick.
Best not to tell anyone.
