Does the Can-Am Ryker 600 have enough power for you?

[@FloridaCatholicGuy]

Just got the 600 this week! I love it! Traded in my Harley for a 3 wheeler. I am getting old and the stability of the 3 wheels and the automatic trans is a big deal for me. Not having to shift at every stop light is a game changer.

[@3WK-ADV]

Congrats man, hope you've been enjoying and staying safe!

[@ryker_bee]

I've had my 600 for just over a year now and about to hit 14k. I do a mix of city, back-road and highway riding. Congrats on you and the others on the instructor course! Ryde safe! ✌

[@3WK-ADV]

That's some solid mileage! Thank you and safe riding out there!

[@benfrank1583]

subbed your channel. nice mileage on yours to let us know the reliability. what's the highest mileage 900cc anyone heard of?

[@ejf0255]

Anything you can tell a newbie ??? I just bought a 600 !!!! 1st bike !!!! Ever. Thanks.

[@johnd9031]

My 21/600 has more than enough power to keep up with the various two and three wheel bikes in our club. Probably the most dangerous issue is to have too much power and think you can handle it. Better to use brakes to get out of a problem situation than the throttle.

[@keepinitallthewaypodcast6686]

I really like your response. This really help me make my decision

[@jeffholmes2459]

Sometimes you need more power to avoid a situation..

[@edmondor5408]

"The controls feel supple..." Stay away from my controls! LOL. My wife and I both have 600's. Love them!! I especially like the choppy sound of the engine from the 2 pistons (instead of 3).

[@3WK-ADV]

HAHA! Something about the way those controls felt man! Maybe it was that 600 engine sound setting the mood.

Nice! There is nothing like riding a Ryker!

[@genegoodwin8925]

I've never ridden a 900 but I rode a 600 home 100 miles and was passing cars at 75 to 80 mph. I thought it had plenty of power. I don't do burn outs or play on a motorcycle, I did all that when I was young back in the 1960's. Now I'm OLD and am happy just to be riding. I own a Harley Daividson Tri Glide Ultra but the next time I trade it just might be for a Ruker 600. The Ryker handles way better than the Harley, or a Gold Wing trilke and even better than a CanAm Spyder. I can honestly say the Ryker is the best handling three wheeler I've ever ridden and more fun. Thanks for the video, ride safely and snjoy every journey.

Thanks Donn! It was a great experience getting to work with you and the rest of the class. Safe riding out there!

[@alexbenjaminlubbers]

As a disabled rider, I've been chomping at the bit ever since I discovered these machines. I was riding a Chinese trike scooter for the past 3 years, since I started in 2019, but the appeal of these machines has caught my eye. Unfortunately, due to my lack of a driver's license, in the state of Michigan, I can't legally ride one at the present moment. Hoping my state representative will read the email I sent him and realize, even though I'm the one voicing the issue, that there are plenty of potential riders being gatekept from the joys of riding anything worth it, by unfair rules. Love these videos, you make me happy dude.

[@3WK-ADV]

Glad to be able to share this experience with others, and I hope you're able to experience it for your self as well!

[@alexbenjaminlubbers]

@@3WK-ADV Looking at possibly getting a license this winter and jumping on a Ryker once I can afford it. Thank you for the awesome, informative content!

[@Nippy2x1]

Great video. 👍 I got a 600ACE for many reasons. 1st the price, if I decided the Ryker isn't right after all I didn't drop as much cash. Also would I miss the 900ACE for that price? Apparently not🤣 2nd everything I've put on my 600ACE will fit on a 900ACE. I keep the OEM parts. So if I decide to upgrade I'm not buying that shit again. 3rd the speed get me from 0-70 in the time it takes to say whiplash. 75mph on the highway all day and if I need to pass it rolls to 88mph. I'm riding to the hill country and this ride is great out there. The 900ACE I know myself and will ride 90-100 everywhere. Didn't want to die or go to jail so the 600ACE keeps me in check. 4th the maintenance is cheaper. Less oil for the oil change and smaller filter means less $ on maintenance not much but every bit helps. Only two spark plugs to change instead of 3. 5th as long as it's a Ryker you're going to have fun👍 Edit that 600ACE exhaust sounds way better waiting at a yield under a bridge then the 900ACE in my opinion 🤷

[@3WK-ADV]

All good reasons man!

[@Nippy2x1]

[@BlueOvals24]

Man you make a good point about being able to upgrade to a 900 if the 600 just isn't doing it. And the 600 does sound so amazing. I just want to know if you can get the rear to slide around a bit without a sport mode

[@adelewis-higham643]

Great video, I’m looking to get one of these and am really undecided about whether to get the 600 or 900. I’m swaying to 900 because of the increased hp and it’s the same power as my current motorcycle. I’m a lady into my 50s and feeling that I’m not ready to give up riding and love the idea of that 3rd wheel stability. Love your voice, so calming and clear.

[@3WK-ADV]

The 900 won't leave you wondering what if you had a little more power (at least for most folks). Thanks for your kind words! I hope you get to continue enjoying the ride for years to come, see you out on the road!

Nice rip, I rode a 900 in my 3wbc but I'm thinking I may be satisfied with the 600 just fine. I won't be on the interstate often and it should do fine. God bless, Rob

Try it out! It's a quality ride just like the 900.

[@kevinolson1070]

So cool that you and Beth from Ryker Rydes were here in my backyard. Wish I could have said hello and welcomed you to the Treasure Valley. I have had my 600 for a week and it’s everything I could have hoped for in an everyday commuter and fun ride on the weekend. Hope you enjoyed your time here in the Gem State.

Hopefully I'll be back one day with more time to explore!

[@robertschneiderjr280]

i just bought my first Can Am Ryker 600 today the dealer has to put it together and should be ready next weekend i cant wait to ride. i took my 3 wheeled safety course at the end of June and recently got the motorcycle endorsement on my license.

[@BlackphoenixEntertainment]

The sound of the 600 is unique. You can tell the different between the two right away. I test rode a 900 and I wouldn't want anything less. Plus you would really want that extra power if you do alot of highway riding.

[@3WK-ADV]

Yeah, tbh I didn't even consider buying the 600 too much early on, but now I could see it checking enough boxes for a lot of people. For me, I'll almost always choose mo powaaaa baby!

[@beataddict5475]

If anyone with a 600 feels uncertain on the interstate with quickly getting your speed up to pass vehicles, just invest in a pedal commander. They are 300 bux but they give discounts every other day. Even b4 my pedal commander I was zipping around on interstate but it has the take off of a 900 with the pedal. commander. It doesn't give actual power but it can have u at 70mph very quickly. Only thing the 600 is missing is sport mode.

[@3WK-ADV]

Good suggestion since the acceleration is what I think people would miss most from the 900 to the 600.

[@BlueOvals24]

So does the PC make up for that lack of sport mode? Can you get the rear to slide around with it? I just want to know if there's a way to make a 600 slide around for the times when you are sitting at a stop on an empty road and want to slide around the next corner.

[@beataddict5475]

@@BlueOvals24 that's only thing missing that I been trying figure out if its possible.

[@BlueOvals24]

@@beataddict5475 That's the only thing I'm on the fence about with the 600. From what I hear it has enough power for my purposes and it sounds more motorcycle like, so I'm nearly sold on it.

@@BlueOvals24 yea I feel you

[@johnsorensen3831]

I would just say try the 600 and the 900 to see what you like the best. I’ve owned about 20 motorcycles and 18 snowmobiles over 50 years. Every time I went with the cheaper ride, I was always disappointed. I thought buying the smaller cc unit would be easier to ride and certainly cheaper. After riding a season or two, I was bored and looking for more power. It also hurts when your buddies pass you up on the more powerful units. Learn from my mistakes! Save up a little longer and get the bigger rig.

[@3WK-ADV]

It doesn't matter, car, motorcycle, garbage disposal, I always want the most power I can afford. It's just my default setting.

[@northernwiman.7472]

Great video thanks. I seriously considered the 600 and just pulled the trigger on a 900. I love it! But I would still like to try out a 600 just to satisfy my own curiosity.

[@dareelamb1964]

I just discovered these machines. Yes, I live under a rock. Lol Anyway, I’m been taking a long hard look at the 600. Slightly cheaper then the 900 and since most of my riding is in town I figure it would be more then enough. Great video! Ride safe.

[@3WK-ADV]

It likely will be, they also sound a little cooler which is an unexpected plus. Thank you!

[@3WK-ADV]

[@MrBTRDAYZ]

This was a great video review, 3WK!!! I have a question, but first let me lay out my understandings, and you correct me if I'm wrong: - Ryker 600 have street tread pattern tires for better traction on asphalt. Rally has dirt tread pattern for better traction in the dirt. Both tires are same size though. - Rally rides 1" taller off the road surface than the 600. - A stock Rally weighs 64 pounds more than the stock 600. With my understanding, I'd expect the taller ride height of the Rally would give it a higher center of gravity. This combined with the extra weight and less grippy tires, should mean that the 600 may be able to outhandle the Rally when the asphalt road gets twisty. I'd expect the 600 would be able to turn left and then quickly transition and turn right more responsively than the Rally. In fact, I believe that if the road doesn't have enough straight-aways for the 900 Rally to exploit it's HP advantage, I think not only can the 600 keep up with the Rally, but may even be able to outrun it, assuming both riders are of the same weight and skill level. Would you agree?

[@3WK-ADV]

Not a bad train of thought. Another variable to consider: The new Rally has advanced adjustable suspension, that could provide a cornering advantage if dialed in correctly. Regardless, I don’t think the the performance in the twistys would be vastly different on either model. Straight line that is a different story.

[@thomasdausch8557]

Greetings from Florida, new to your channel and subscribed, i am just starting to look at a new possible toy, I come from around 30yrs of riding experience, last bike was a Hayabusa, no longer can i handle weight and performance of said bike, so i am looking at 3- wheels,,watching lots of vids on the Ryker and seeing alot of issues with the bike , your bike does not seem to have any maintenance issues,, what is your feeling of the low ground clearance on your bike , keep the vids coming and ride safe in the Atlanta area. i would be riding all the time north of Atlanta. Stay safe my fellow rider

[@3WK-ADV]

Thanks! I have so many good memories in Florida! My 2019 Ryker has been pretty dang reliable. The one issue I had was related to the coolant resovoir and it was handled under warranty. I recommend extending the factory 1yr warranty to at-least 2 or 3 years and then you will be pretty well covered. Ground clearance has never been an issue on road, and I wouldn't really do more offroading than a dirt/gravel road on a Ryker. I look forward to sharing some videos of me doing some North Georgia riding soon. Thanks again and stay safe!

[@jasonthemason1971]

Yes it does. Everyone seems to think they need the 900. I can do, keep up with anyone on a 900 rally or sport model Ryker……. On my 600 Ryker Ace.

[@3WK-ADV]

Yeah man, I enjoyed it. Plus with an exhaust the 600 sounds great!

[@genegoodwin8925]

I live in Ohio where the highest speed limit is 70mph. I drive a 600cc Ryker 100 miles home for our son right before Christmas at 70 mph and crack it open a couple of times and it seemed to pick up and go just fine. I never went over 80mph, Ohio has plenty of state patrol officers which like to write tickets at about $150 each. So I think for people who live in Ohio the 600cc Ryker is just fine, unless they want to do some hot rodding or want to pay fines, and maybe lose their license, they would want the 900cc.

[@miller6698]

No, I went to dealer and they had a 900 on floor, I said “I’ll take it”. No test ride, just give me your best price and I’ll take it. When I went to pick it up they wanted me to take the 600 so they could keep the 900 for their “sales days event” I refused and drove the 900 home. I would have gotten the rally but the didn’t have one. This was in 2019 and Rykers were hard to come by.

Im planning on buying one next summer for city riding and just around town every day commuter. Do you think the 600 will be enough power? I dont plan on taking it on multi city trips. Really maybe hour drives tops.

Honestly, I think it will have plenty of power for you. And if you ever get the itch for more power down the road, people do have good success tuning them in the aftermarket.
