Don’t buy a Can Am before you watch this first

After years of riding and building Harley's and Honda's at my age, I don't care what others say... I only care about what is comfortable for me... I outgrew my ego a loooong time ago... bless you brother keep up the great videos.

I’ve been riding two wheels for 30 years and just got my wife a 2019 spyder F3S special edition, she is pissed, I literally can’t stay off her new ride it’s so much fun. No it’s not a bike and it’s not a car it’s a whole new animal and boy is it fun. Do people wave at me when I take it out, hell no but I ain’t got time for snobs but I’ll still be waving 👋. Best of all I get to go ride with my best friend, my wife. Peace

[@jackson7421]

You DO NOT have to wait to start these. You can bypass that by turning the key and hit the mode button right away and the start button.

[@Raining_H]

As a 24 year old i wouldnt see myself buying this for my main motorcycle, but i would buy one just for fun on the side. I ride a 2000 honda vtx1300cc and i could deffinatly see havin one of these just to change things up every now and then

[@RevJay_Rides]

Our chapter of F.A.I.T.H. Riders has a man who is 84 years old who rides one of these. That’s cool that he’s still out riding with us.

[@opichocal]

I have a 2015 F3 and here’s the cons....expensive suspension sucks, bottoms out a lot, parts and accessories are pricy , maintenance is high, runs on premium and only 30 mpg, dealerships are slow to repair because parts aren’t readily available. I still love the thing!

[@1990-t1j]

This one has aftermarket handlebars. Less than 5 seconds to 60 is fast enough. I bought a new F3-S a month ago and have already clocked up more than 2,500 miles. They take a bit of getting used to, but after almost 250,000 miles on motorcycles, I am going to sell my remaining two bikes, a Buell Ulysses and a Yamaha MT-01 because I don't want to ride them anymore. Why? I prefer my Spyder!

[@Frankietomatoes6189]

Just picked up my f3 2 weeks ago and loving it. I have a Yamaha Stryker but I don't want to ride it lol. You can't beat the spyder.

[@BlackphoenixEntertainment]

I motovlog on my 2013 Can am Spyder RS. It's great for just cruising around and I installed a Power Commander V so I can really get on it when I want too. It's so much fun.

[@chuckkelley5894]

Many people, maybe most, give up on Can Ams before giving them a fair shot. If you get an RT or RT Ltd and you're coming off of a fairly long history on two wheels, you're going to have your work cut out for you. That was my situation and it took me 5000-6000 to become one with the machine. I accomplished that by riding 100-150 miles per day practicing in the twisties in Northern Colorado. I was ready to kick it to the curb for months. But, once I got dialed in, man, there's nothing like it! I hooligan this thing like a sportbike; 23-35 MPH corners at 60 plus, hanging off the side and blitzing out. I suggest for like souls to try anything in the F3 lineup. They weigh less. a lot less, the rider sits inside it rather than on top of it like an RT. I tell people that a Hayabusa and a Daymac Go Kart played spin the bottle and my machine is their love child. The choice; a motorcycle or a Sportkart!

[@Winterstick549]

Plus you can get soft bags and a taller fairing for the F3 and weigh much less than the RT

[@joejaramillo2044]

I went to the Can Am Demo Days at my local dealer. Awesome ride. Now looking to buy a Can Am Spyder f3 Limited. Like nothing i have riden before.

SKI DOO! SEA DOO! SPIDER!!!!! The CLOSEST vehicle BASED on this design that’s ROAD LEGAL! May have access to HOV lanes. Can RUN WINTER TIRES!!!!! HAS MORE ACCESS TO MORE ROADS THAN QUADS & SxS!!!!!!!!! NO IT IS NOT A MOTORCYCLE!!! I’m GLAD something like this CROSSED that gap to offer an ALTERNATIVE to TRANSPORTATION that SHOWS MORE than just a RECREATIONAL vehicle!!!!!!!!!🧐

[@tjcmoto5484]

Or is it a motorcycle for the winter.

[@badger3184]

I'm new to motorcycles. I don't even have a m license. But I always make it a point to give motorcycle riders as much space as possible. 1. Are these good for motorcycle novices? 2. Do I need a m license? 3. Are they better than 2 wheelers? I can trust my skills, but my problem are other drivers.

[@brianmorse8811]

It's a skimobile built for the streets.

[@michaelscott369]

You are a man I love you I was going to buy a street bike I have no experience on the street you have convinced me that’s not a good move so I am older I think you’re right about me getting a Spider a ride for wheelers Mel I have a renegade 1000 and it is a beast love that thing but it’s time for me to ride on the street I’m going to retire pretty soon in about 3 to 4 years so this is the direction I’m heading thank you so much for your input have a great day God bless

[@ckim6400]

I had an early Can Am with a 990 Rotex and standard transmission. Not in to automatics. Trust me it's not like riding a motorcycle, if you like leaning into corners it's just like riding a quad, it's more body lean which is ok if you like riding quad on the street? Would I buy another one? doubt it. kept it about a year and moved on.

[@bobvedder2451]

I test drove the canam spyder, i did squeeze air reaching for the front brake.

[@tootall5559]

since they first came out, I've thought they were nothing more than a snowmobile with wheels instead of tracks and skis. Now they're very fancy, but frankly all that electronic crap is asking for trouble. computers and sensors and switches will fail eventually, no question about it... and when they do, they're difficult and expensive to fix.

[@dionmoore879]

I took the Spyder class back in Aug. These are super fun to ride. Me and 2 other fellows with 5 women. None had motorcycle license or experience except me. every one 50 + in age. Noobees find these less intimidating than 2 wheels. Maint is weird on these. Real funky oil filter. about $150. filter , 6 O-rings and oil. That's if you do service yourself. Dealer, probably get you for another C-note. The F-3 didn't look to bad. Only a couple pcs of tupperware. The RT, forget about it, lots more plastic and you gotta take the right side mirror off. And I though only the Germans were this ridiculous . I still may get one, as they are a hoot. If Honda ever produces one, the Spyder will be in deep trouble.

[@ronaldyager9463]

I took the basic three wheel training course the middle of last month. There are a lot of big ego's out there. It sure as hell is a motorcycle. But, a lot more stable. You learn all the same stuff as a two wheel motorcycle to get your endorsement. So happy to sit on a stable bike.... Safely First! I have Cerebral Palay and had a blast on a 900cc Ryker. I will probably buy An RT Limited though.....The instructor was 100 percent correct. After the better part of a day learning how to use the Ryker I was tired. The RT Limited is the open road Cadillac of motorcycle riders. Semi Automatic, ABS, Stability Control, Heated Seats, And hand grips, plus a lot more. A true motorcycle that a disabled person can operate with confidence, and safety #1. Buy the way! Do you know what ego stands for? "Edging God Out!"

[@dennyhensley7762]

I keep wanting to put my feet down at every stop and reaching for the clutch and brake. They are great for couples VERY forgiving when you have a rider that is inexperienced with the geometry of riding.

[@gerneticut]

Im not a big fan of these but my buddy has been getting them in recently for custom stereo installs. He still does more slingshots and baggers.

[@TheDaltonmichaels]

ok , after you said you have ridden one in the snow , thats the only thing i can think of that would be more fun on this than any other bike on the street , throw some studded winter tires on it and just rally it around on the streets. would probably be a blast.

[@jasonroberts8206]

They do look like a lot of fun.

[@DanS-kh4tc]

They are great until you have problems with the machine and no one in the Dallas metroplex knows how to fix it.

[@jimroscovius]

[@tomlyth739]

[@greatkingrat]

In New Zealand it’s classified as a car and you can ride it on a Car License only. One of our buddies on our ride, rides one of these.

[@Paul49myspace]

If I need the stability but want to feel the wind I will stick to a convertible. Big motor in this puppy certainly quicker then my option.

[@d.knight6008]

Don't knock it till you've tried it. Spyders are cool because they are different. They don't look like 98% of the bikes on the road, which most look alike.

[@Paul49myspace]

D. Knight To me it is the width of these units. It takes up pretty much the whole lane. So for me I would rather jump in a convertible. Then there is also fowl weather protection advantage. To practical? Snowmobile on wheels and yes they are fun. Best MB ride ever? Montana West to East Glaciers. Anyone who could ride any open air vehicle would be in awe! Cheers “D”

[@bfarm44]

For someone like me with permanent nerve damage in my back this is perfect. Push on the opposite leg in the corners

[@roger4375]

Depending on where you live and in my case Massachusetts, it is tagged as a motorcycle but so is a Polaris Slingshot. They are actually a “TRI-MOTO”. Not really considered a motorcycle by the true definition [of what a motorcycle is], but...... it NOW fits the broad category for registering it as such. It’s like if I remove the left front tire from my minivan, does it make it a motorcycle? I’ve built two custom three wheel vehicles and they are both registered as motorcycles because of the wheel count..... Fun.. oh, yea.. like a barrel of monkeys...... it’s all about the journey not the destination or what you use to get there.

[@CriticalThinker08]

I live in Mass too & own a Spyder. Most fun I've ever had besides with a sensual woman. Fast too, I'd say I do close to 90 on a regular basis, no worries

So it's more like a 3 wheeled convertible? I'm a good motorcycle rider, and wondering how hard it is to switch between this and back to a bike? I'd like to have one of these for long distance touring. Two wheels for around home and to ride with my two wheel buddies.

[@918Mitchell]

I used to love to ride, my back and knees can't take the miles anymore. Seriously considering a touring one of these as an alternative.

[@scottdavis9318]

Get one with a backrest and tunes and you'll be having lots of fun. Play your favorite jazz music and you'll be enjoying what many other riders enjoy. Wind therapy. Life goes by quickly so add a little fun if you can.

[@denniscarver7681]

On the older spyders you have 2minutes or so you can park turn off bike. Fill up, get drink, you can turn them on start and go. The bike weighs F3 815 lbs. it has 115 hp. Now take it to pitbull, Lamonster they can make you out front of the pack. Mine burns rubber and I want to ride a wheelie. Am I alone?

[@Urrelles]

The only downside is you cant corner as well in a converted trike. I learned how to ride on a custom Goldwing Trike. If you take a turn too fast the thing will start to tip. Whereas the Can Am Ryker I ride now hugs a corner and will never tip. All I have to do is lean. Also itll be tough for you to get rid of counter steering if you ride a trike that feels like your Goldwing. My father had a hard time switching between his trike Goldwing and regular one. Basically, Im saying, if you love barreling through turns, dont use a converted trike, just buy a trike designed for it and retire your Goldwing.

[@daveco1270]

i'm sure they're fun to ride, but I'm not a fan of the 3 wheelers. If you're a motorcycle person who can no longer ride a bike for some reason...by all means get a Cam Am and enjoy the crap out of it. Otherwise, just get a motorcycle.
