I'd like to test ride one.

My gut feeling is that they might be underpowered though. Needs a turbo.  [evil]

The regular models are a bit underpowered from what I remember. But I do think there is an "s" model.

My neighbor across the street was inches away from buying one last year... He developed a case of Monster Envy from looking at my M900 in my garage, but was afraid he'd crash a two-wheeler and kill himself.  So he found a guy with a Spyder and took it out for a ride.  He was getting ready to go back to the guy's house to buy it when I convinced him to take the ABATE rider course instead.

He got over his fear and passed the course, and wound up with a pretty sweet F800ST instead of the CanAm.  But he still doesn't have anything bad to say about the Spyder.

a guy brought his brand new spyder down to my shop last year for some "customization" He told me he wanted it to look like a ny yankees jersey... it came out like ass and really didnt want to do it in the first place. it did look like a jersey though big number 2 on the back and all. kind of put it into perspective of the kind of guy that buys a spyder...

I'm still ambivalent about the Spyders, but I wouldn't have scorned my neighbor if that was what he chose as his intro to riding.  I was just glad the guy acted on his dream of riding instead of doing nothing.

That said, if I gave up two-wheeling in favor of three, I'd be going this way:

I've seen a guy here in SoCal riding his can-am.... with a special rack on the back that holds his wheelchair...!


When you Can no longer ride on two... Go for three [thumbsup]

That guy gets the wave for sure.....  [moto]

IF I ever purchase a Can-Am before the first mile is put on the turbo is being put in.

Every time my dad and I start talking long-distance riding trips, grandma starts wanting to buy a spyder again... certainly would be an improvement from the scooter she rides around Sams club on.
