2015 Can Am Spyder RT Limited walkaround

The Spyder RT Limited’s triple cylinder Rotax 1330 ACE engine and 6-speed transmission enable you to pass and cruise through town at low RPM with ease. It makes the Spyder RT limited the ultimate way to enjoy the road with comfort and luxury - from the exclusive touring seat to its generous amounts of chrome and Garmin† GPS.

[@dwaynewilliams6334]

Hey Chris, I finally purchased a 2017 Can Am Spyder RT Limited on the18th of May and it rides great. I want to thank you and your brother for the information on it. Take care and God Bless.

[@MichaelBrown-np1kc]

Nice Job showing off the 2015 Spyder very well done.

[@sierrafoxtrotgolf3638]

Best walk-around on KZbin! Nice job.

[@dwaynewilliams6334]

I agree with you 100 per cent. Chris. It's so practical. I've been watching several videos on this trike and I'm total impressed with the performance.

[@chriscaliente5033]

+Dwayne Williams It's an awesome machine.

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

That is an awesome machine.... After many years of riding two wheelers, I started having difficulties riding due to a leg ailment..... I was only left with a few options.... Trike convert my current bike...a 2008 Kawasaki 900 Vulcan Classic - buy a ready built trike - buy a Spyder or just give up riding in the breeze all together. The high cost of the trike conversion and the high cost of a ready built trike, ruled those out.... Giving up was not desirable, so that left the Spyder option. I ended up buying a 2009 RS SM5 Spyder from a lady who rarely rode it... I must admit, it did take a few days to adapt to the differences of riding it compared to a motorcycle, but I now just love riding it. Even the 2009 model has most of the features as standard.. ABS, Traction Control, Stability Control etc. It did take me a while to to get used to having no front brake lever, but the all in one foot brake stops it on a dime.... without lock up, even on a wet surface. Reverse gear is a bit scary at first...you must try to leave the throttle alone when reversing...it has the same power in reverse as it has in first gear. I found that the big rear tire will aquaplane if you hit a patch of water on the road, but the traction and stability controls will kick in and endeavor to stabilize the machine. By the way, prior to buying my 900 Classic, I owned a 1996 GL1500 GoldWing Aspencade.... I absolutely loved that bike, but that's when the leg problems started to show, so I very reluctantly sold the Wing... The GoldWings and the Spyders have a few critics out there among the biker fraternity, but I found that when you ask them if they have ever ridden either of them... the answer is usually no... (they don't know what they are missing.) Ride Safe and Ride Far - Cheers - Dallas

[@chriscaliente5033]

+Dallas Nyberg I've always said that the Can Am Spyder is great for a person that has health problems, or difficulty balancing a motorcycle.

[@dennissutphen9035]

Love your videos! Thanx for sharing! Bought the exact trike last Friday here in NJ. I learned a lot from you and Shawn Smoak. We're having a beauty November here in NJ. Three Harley Dude friends and I went for a nice 120 mile ride today. Third ride since taking delivery. Gained a lotta experience and confidence today.

[@chriscaliente5033]

+Dennis Sutphen Congrats on the Spyder purchase, I know you're having fun in NJ with friends during the rides, stay safe, keep it on 3 wheels, thanks for watching.

[@jackconnolly3462]

Thanks Chris. Very concise and an excellent intro to this bike.

My riding partner has a Honda Goldwing Trike. She loves it! If you guys are ever in the ATL, be sure to hit me up so we can all ryde!!! BTW, great singing voice. You should do that more often! Stay safe!

[@chriscaliente5033]

Brenda Howell Thanks Brenda, I would love to ride in the ATL, I've been through Atlanta on my way to Florida in my car on I-75 from Memphis to Birmingham, but not on my Goldwing. Thanks for watching, please subscribe, check out my videos, and feel free to leave feedback.

[@dwaynewilliams6334]

Excellent presentation, Chris. I'm thinking about getting a Can Am Spyder RT Limited one day. Keep up the good work.

[@chriscaliente5033]

+Dwayne Williams I like the Spyder because it is so practical.

[@tomfillmore9710]

Thanks for the review on the spider was great I have never tried one would be different that regular bike thanks Chris take care

[@NuShooter64]

Thanks for the video. I'm looking forward to getting my own Spyder soon. Im new to riding and think this is something I'll enjoy a lot. Great look at the features.

[@chriscaliente5033]

Bert Davis Bert the Spyder is great choice for new riders.

[@taskforceripper91]

Very nice I'd like to ride a Spyder one day.

[@chriscaliente5033]

+taskforceripper91 It's your for the asking.

[@fatcatcj1965]

Great review. Looking at a 2015 and it’s only $16,000 with less than 25,000 miles.

[@eldorazariaspallaisq6450]

congratulations, very good induction video

[@jerseymafia1923]

that's bad ass!!!.. love that color

[@chriscaliente5033]

Marco Gomez Thanks Marco for the compliments.

[@regmartin688]

Awesome bike love the color.

[@vinu413]

Chris, great review....my wife is wanting a Can Am as soon as she passes her motorcycle safety course. Very nice bike. Currently I ride a Honda VTX 1800, but looking to change over to a Goldwing in the next year. Nice video!

[@chriscaliente5033]

DARYL SMITH An upgrade from the VTX to a Goldwing is the way to go, the Can Am Spyder is also a great choice, thanks for watching, please subscribe, and leave honest feed back on any my videos, more videos are soon coming.

[@snocrushr]

I like the Honda polish in the trunk ;-)

[@chriscaliente5033]

snocrushr Wow! you noticed the Honda polish too. He was a Honda VTX rider up until a month ago, I think he was saving it for the new Can Am, lol.

[@nickheinz3737]

Great Review, thanks for sharing!

[@rolandmcneal3806]

Great presentation i been looking at the Can Am for a wile great job.

[@chriscaliente5033]

+roland mcneal Thank, this one is sold.

[@KenGayJr]

Great overview! Im sold 😁

[@preacheron3wheels802]

Hello Chris I just got me a RT looks just like this and mines is a 2015 but I was trying to figure out where is the connector for your phone in the front. I have a lot of music on my iPhone and I’m trying to see what do to start listening to my music do I have to go to the back of the bike trunk running a wire

[@dbest1aVlogs]

These can arms are really nice , not sure if I could pull the trigger on one , would take a bit of some thinking ... Sure has a lot of accessories .. Nicely outfitted.

[@chriscaliente5033]

dbest1a Vlogs Yea the Can Am are very nice, with lots of features and accessories. but I'm sticking with the GW.

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Hahaha I smell an argument between the brothers lol..

[@chriscaliente5033]

Lol, not true. When you switch from a 2 wheel, to a 3 wheel, the dynamics of a motorcycle changes, it's not a motorcycle anymore, even on a goldwing trike. The can ams, and GW trikes are very nice, good for people that don't like balancing two wheels, but on a spyder in a traffic jam, your stuck like a car. Their are advantages and disadvantages to everything, I just prefer my 2 wheel Goldwing overs a Can Am or Goldwing Trike.

[@chriscaliente5033]

dbest1a Vlogs My brother is 62, I'm 20 years younger, maybe in my older age I will consider 3 wheels, but right now I prefer 2 wheels across the board.

[@dbest1aVlogs]

I hear you , I really want to get to test ride/vlog one.. one day .. I love the storage capacity .. can you say ride from new york to cali on one .. haha..

[@Hecam17]

Very nice walk around gentlemen. I have the twin bike to this one, had it a month and it replaced a 2010. Very different ride, Much better. Red is fastest! See you on the road.

[@chriscaliente5033]

Hecam17 Do you take the Spyder out on road trips? whats were the most miles you put on it in a day.

[@Hecam17]

Chris Caliente 240 in a day. Live near the North Georgia mountains and have plenty of great riding within 200 miles. Actually bought it in Birmingham and had a 180 mile ride to get home.

[@chriscaliente5033]

My brother claims that the bike wiggles side to side as he's driving, so now he only drives on city streets, because of fear of the interstate. He will not drive over 65 mph, and he complains about engine heat, I really think that the problem is him, and not can am. I hope to be riding his bike soon and giving my personal review and my thoughts of who should, and should not buy a Can Am Spyder.

[@Hecam17]

Chris Caliente Keep in mind they feel like riding a quad not a 2 wheeler. Lean your body into a turn but the bike does not lean at all, at times it feels like the bike is pushing your body high side away from the turn. If it is jumpy or pulls while going straight it may need a laser alignment. Spyders come to dealer partially disassembled in a crate and alignment is not part of reassembly. If it pulls in turns he should look at a BajaRon anti sway bar, HUGE difference in turns at speed, especially if you are riding 2 up. A gentleman in the Knoxville area makes them. I also had to learn to loosen my death grip on the bars. No heat problem but I wear jeans and boots - AGAT.

[@chriscaliente5033]

I totally agree with all of your points. Why did you have a death grip on the bars, can you explain?

[@dahiadel2511]

Hello, I have a 2011 Can-Am Spyder RT. I am stuck on the road. I have a problem with the transmission. It does not transmit. What is the solution? Please help.

[@csxhogger1]

Your Bro going to Bling Bling in Memphis on his new Toy! Nice one I know he will will enjoy and hopefully ya'll can go on a tour together! Another vlog you can do!

[@chriscaliente5033]

Alexander Herring A tour ride with my brother would be great, I'm hoping that we can ride out on a long distance run soon because riding around town is a tease for the Goldwing.

[@snowball6389]

Just bought a 2011 with only 8500 miles on it, handles well but differently around curves, not like a two wheeler.

[@James-cn9no]

Does your brother still ride the CanAm? Likes it?

[@USAIRFORCE621]

Hello Chris I'm James. For the past 6 years I've been trying to find a mode of transportation that I could drive and enjoy, the catch is I'm permanently disabled With Cerebral Palsy which not only affects how I walk but also means my ankles are straight but at a bit of an angle so a foot brake would be tough to handle, I know it is possible to utilize a hand brake but I'm not sure where to get one, I'd most likely go with the Spyder RT since it has more room. Also on licensing, as far as I understand it all I'd have to do is get a 3 wheeled license from a Can Am driving school in my home state (Maryland) then take a 3 wheeled skills test which can be taken on the Spyder. Could you please help me verify if my info is correct? Thanks.

[@eyeofsolomon]

Greet Tour.

[@chriscaliente5033]

+EOS Studios Thanks.

[@christopherabram7087]

Canada yaaa!

[@blkmaleinct]

32 grand wow looks like a fun ride

[@chriscaliente5033]

blkmaleinct I'm sure a used Spyder wouldn't be that much.

[@blkmaleinct]

+Chris Caliente I sure you're right as of now I'm shooting for a victory crusier high ball,gunner or hammer.. that a sharp bike your brother has still..

[@chriscaliente5033]

Very true, let me know what your final decision is.

[@blkmaleinct]

Absolutely I will let you know maybe even make a gopro video ... im curious to see what I will end up with myself. Lol

[@chriscaliente5033]

Okay sounds great, I cant wait.

[@annettegilliard6997]

Hey friend if make any other video, I would like to see them stay bless 😎

[@didierelfassi2554]

yeah is very nice for you Didier

[@chriscaliente5033]

Thanks.

[@aviatorbigrcplanes619]

Dude that Can Am couldn't see 200 mph off a cliff with it's current aerodynamically design plus it's only 115 hp. I think 200 km [120 - 125 mph] is more realistic.

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

Sweet!

[@chriscaliente5033]

vac0002 He love it, thanks Vac.

[@chill62751]

Chris I'm taking my trike course at the end of the month. Since im a new rider do you think the Spyder is goods for someone who has never ridden?

[@chriscaliente5033]

Mark Williams Most definately Mark, the Spyder is so easy to ride, even for new riders, If you can operate a car, you can drive a Spyder. You have no worries about balancing like on a motorcycle, riding a passenger is also easy. Check out other videos in my library, and subscribe if you like, feel free to leave honest feedback.

[@KrazyKoolNYer]

Nice!

[@chriscaliente5033]

Krazy Kool NYer Glad you like it, thanks.

[@stephensmith1034]

That is quite a vehicle. I'd ride one. But the price is a little steep.

[@chriscaliente5033]

Buy used, but get a warranty.

[@bsharporbflat8378]

Thought you would have tries it out Chris to compare ride with your Goldwing

[@chriscaliente5033]

no comparison.

[@bsharporbflat8378]

+Chris Caliente I know but just wanted your opinion, I am thinking of getting a GoldWing but I must admit I am a little apprehensive of the weight

[@marcusredl7173]

My lady has an RT, and on the straight leave my F6B; almost. lol

[@chriscaliente5033]

You can't go wrong with a Spyder.

[@chill62751]

Chris will your brother get into making Spyder videos?

[@chriscaliente5033]

Mark Williams I think that he will in the future.

[@chriscaliente5033]

Mark Williams Hey Mark, I responded to your question by video, check it out here is the link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q527fHVqba-rgpo

[@chriscaliente5033]

Nice, thanks.

[@benwhitney8689]

Hi I'm new to your channel and I was woundering if you ride in Memphis

[@chriscaliente5033]

Ben Whitney Why yes I do ride in Memphis.

[@csxhogger1]

Shucks you two better open and sell Can Ams nice interview to boot!

[@chriscaliente5033]

Alexander Herring You right, Can Am needs to send me a check, LOl just kidding. I have learned so much, that i try to give back free of charge, thanks.

[@dawnrobb8809]

That's a nice Spyder Your brother's a lucky guy. Great informative walk around Are you sub'd to Shawn Smoak? He's a Spyder tech in Wash. state. Has a great channel. He's riding an F3 Spyder demo right now along with all his other bikes. Check him out

[@chriscaliente5033]

Robert Robb I will check him out when I get an opportunity.

[@RichardJoashTan]

Robert Robb I already subscribed him last 2014 since I am a Spyder fanatic since 2007 when I was in high school.

[@martybeidleman3027]

$32,000 for a trike??? Can't do it.

[@chriscaliente5033]

How about 25K for a Slingshot?

[@shadowcali559]

here were I live there's a dealer selling one for 10k I'd rather have the slingshot though but these are nice

[@WillBuryU]

Electric windshield but manual mirrors SMH

[@curtisallred7250]

I would get XM satellite radio with the RT LIMITED. Today's music is not worth crap. I like PRIME COUNTRY on channel 58 which is 80's and 90's country, I like Willie's Roadhouse on channel 59, i like 80's on 8 which is channel 8, i like 90's on 9 which is channel 9, and I like the Fox News channel on channel 114.

[@PHOTOSBYRK]

I had the opportunity to ride a Can-Am. Did not like the steering at all. Give me two wheels any day. And for $32K it can stay right in the show room.

[@chriscaliente5033]

I can understand how you feel, I prefer two wheels myself, thanks for sharing Sam.
