I was looking at some old pictures from last summer and came across this system I thought I should share. Can-Am Spyder.

Ben: Cool picks thanks 4 posting. I have seen a few of them running around. I was wondering about them and what they are like to ride and more importantly WHY?
I guess it's all the thrills of a Motorcycle with a bit more stability. or is it just somthing diffrent?

A customer of mine has one. He bought it for his wife. He and his son rode it quite a bit the first few months they had it, burned two rear tires off it, then after a while the newness wore off(at least for them).Now they're back on two wheels and it just sits in the garage.I think his wife rode it once. The stereo in that one is cool.Never seen one with tunes on it.

there was a demo ride day around here a few months ago. The wife and I went. cool "bike" with lots of pep. BUT, if you are a 2 wheel rider, you won't like it. The wife wants one, but I probably wont get it for her. If she wanted a motorcycle that we both might enjoy, I would get that instead

I know you don't need a motorcycle endorsement to ride them. That could be why ppl buy them?

Looks like a land sea-doo. Even more annoying.

Saw them at the bike show. IMO they should come with a handicap sticker.
