I bought a Can-Am Spyder! Let’s go for a ride!

Maiden voyage on my 2023 Can-Am Spyder RT Limited. We see some cool sights on a great first ride. We start at Buck’s Motorsports in Akron, NY, then visit Akron Falls Park, the Rich-Twinn Octagon House, downtown Akron, and Perry’s Ice Cream. #canamspyder #canamonroad #brpcanamspyder #brp #minimalism #adventure #akronfalls #octagonhouse #perrysicecream #bucksmotorsports #aquietplace2

Great first ride! I got a Spyder F3 last summer, and it’s Awesome!! Ride 2 wheels for years, but stopped around 2006. Didn’t imagine getting back on 2, but I got interested in 3 wheels, and so glad I once again am in the wind!! Be Safe and Enjoy!!

[@SpyderChrisYT]

So happy you’re back on wheels!

[@K22MDL]

Have to say I really enjoyed your first Can-Am video. It was well presented, edited and easy to watch. I too have a Spyder but the F3S. In the back of my mind I have a hankering for a Sea to Sky but wanted to ease myself back in to Spyder'ing, having owned one of the first Spyder's in the UK in 2008. Wow have they shot up in price! Enjoy your new machine and ride safe, Martin Lynch

[@SpyderChrisYT]

Very expensive machines, and I wish there was more competition in this field.

I really enjoyed your video. We bought our Spyder RT from Buck's just under 2 years ago. They're great folks in there. It's safe to say that I'm addicted. Please ride safe.

[@SpyderChrisYT]

Thank you! I love how so many KZbinrs are here in WNY.

[@tibadoe]

Congrats! Read through the owner's manual if you have not done so already. Lots of good info in there to help you get the most out of your Spyder. When you decide you need any parts or accessories, there are lots of great Spyder sites to check out.

[@SpyderChrisYT]

I’ve actually read it a few times before purchasing online. But I need to read it again now that I have the machine.

Welcome to the Spyder community, enjoy your ride & stay safe. We have a 2022 spyder rt ltd chrome model & love it to bits, only just got back on the road due to snow being on the ground! But back into hibernation again as we’re getting more snow for a week! Have fun regards Stephen & Pauline Alberta Canada.

Congratulations on purchasing your Spyder. Remember that your target audience is interested in the Spyder. You can throw in sights and sounds you see while touring, but the focus should be on the Spyder. Observe for example how Coach Bob talks us through his travels. Good luck with the channel.

Congrats on your purchase. I'm trying to hold off until May 11th; I'm signed up for the Can Am Demo event that day. Two Can Am dealerships in my area have the 2024 Sea-toSky RT (White) in stock. Thinking I'm going to miss out if I wait until May to purchase. Ride safe.

[@SpyderChrisYT]

I hope you get what you want and I’m sure you’ll love it.

[@cashxx]

I'd give the RT and the F3 a spin. The F3 feels like you're sitting more in it while the RT it felt like you are on top of it for some reason. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes, but I'd take them both for a ride if possible.

[@keithchrysler3732]

At least you will be able to test ride one. Our Tucson dealer doesn't allow us to test one out. EVER!

[@cashxx]

@@keithchrysler3732 The place where I bought mine wouldn't let me take it for a spin. Said they were sued and don't allow it. I said, well if you want a sale you will let me take it for a ride. No way I'm buying anything without testing it first! Part of the process! Like these gun stores with trigger locks and won't take them off. Feel of the trigger is part of the buying process! No sale!

I remember the feeling when I rode my 2022 RT Sea-to-Sky home and I still can't put it into words. It is my first ever motorcycle. I hope to take it out of winter storage this week to start my third rYding season. And I just started a Facebook page as well as making short videos on my channel. Cheers Chris! I hope to enjoy a ride with you one day!

[@SpyderChrisYT]

That would be great!

[@shellybulla8089]

A Baja Ron sway bar and Elka stage 2 shocks will eliminate the twitchiness. But once you get used to riding it you may not mind the twitchiness. I’ve owned a Can Am Spyder RTL for two years, they’re great bikes.

[@SpyderChrisYT]

Loving mine so far. I don’t feel the twitchiness some complain about.

[@rickbii63]

I have a 17 F3 and found you'll get used to the steering. This is my 3rd year on the spyder after about 50 years on a 2 wheeler. it's differant but is definately fun.

[@SpyderChrisYT]

I’m loving it so far.

[@keithchrysler3732]

Great video and I love the idea of 3 wheels as I am getting older and holding up my GW is becoming more of a challenge. The problem is that I have never seen any of these on the road in Arizona, not even one. Here in Tucson, I am not allowed to test drive one as the dealership blames insurance problems. The only other dealerships in the state are the same company and have the same policy. Perhaps that's why I don't see any on the road. They actually have an excellent price on a '23 but to me, no test ride = no sale.

[@SpyderChrisYT]

Too bad they don’t allow test drives. Good luck!

[@SpyderChrisYT]

[@americandude3825]

I’m jealous!!!

[@cashxx]

I hit the horn and reached for the front brakes and was unsure of the Spyder at first. Also the touchy steering. Probably the 3rd time out I gained respect for the platform and got used to the controls, steering, and everything. Usually if I go out it's about a 2 hour ride to some place and back. I would still like more power though, I think the engine is under powered and should be an 1800 or so. I have a 2022 F3 Limited Special. Bought it used with 500 miles or so on it for 20k last year. One thing I don't understand is riding motorcycles for a few hours I would be exhausted at the end. On the Spyder, I feel like it takes more to keep it in a straight line as it wants to follow the road imperfections and leaning into the corners at high speeds I feel like I'm leaning and moving more but feel fine after a long ride. Don't get that. For this year, I just picked up a peddle box and sway bar to get ready for this year! Safe riding! Congrats!

[@SpyderChrisYT]

They are definitely less fatiguing than bikes.

[@sarahhampton]

Hi, My partner is waiting for his 2024 Spyder RT Ltd to arrive in the UK. We took a 2023 for a test ride and found the steering very sensitive, as you reported. Found going around sharp corners very entertaining! When you have more miles on the bike we would be interested in any riding tips you can give. The video was a good mix of riding and interesting scenery, with perfect commentary. Keep up the excellent work and look forward to future episodes.

[@SpyderChrisYT]

Thank you so much! I’ll be posting more videos soon. We’ll be learning how to ride this thing together.

[@SpyderChrisYT]

There is one CanAm trike that claims to have some off road capability, and that is the Ryker Rally.

[@snoking1127]

You glide it, not man handle it on the open road. Want to go left, put a little pressure forward on the right hand handlebar.

No, I’m happy with my Spyder even in the twisties.

[@greggcarlson9823]

What other motor cycles three wheel did you try before you bought this Spyder ?

[@SpyderChrisYT]

None, nor did I test-drive the Spyder. After doing lots of research, I decided the Spyder was my choice. Harley makes a trike, but it didn’t appeal to me. There are custom built trikes, but I didn’t want to go that route. I wish there were more manufacturers of these kinds of motorcycles, but our choices are limited.

[@kevinwright4088]

The Can Am Spyder seems to be one of the safest ways to do business because it stops fast and does not hit hard and heavy. I recommend these for people concerned about rear ending or t-boning a family because the poor defenceless babies, little people, injured, disabled, and elderly need a better chance at life. Finally some sanity on the roads this is like the worlds animals and pedestrians waking up from a Hollywood blockbuster nightmare. Lets be human out there and if you don't need to take the big heavy vehicle for a joy ride don't, the crash is huge.
