Spyder F3-S Daytona 500!! - 1st Ride and Impressions! | BikeReviews

[@1990-t1j]

Just watched this again. Stunning. F3-S rules.

[@mr.s.9115]

Hey Shawn, thanks for the Spyder video. Man you have to be in the top 1% of KZbin vlogers for quality and care for the viewer. Thanks a bunch Shawn.

[@1990-t1j]

Looks cool. I love the bars and the rear seat cowl/storage pod.

[@jamespugh]

Shawn great ride of a f3 Daytona. That edition when came out lot dealer had up here. Know super hard find since Ryker came out. When do find one their every bit of $15-16k

[@troy9er]

Can an owner turn off the traction and stability control off on all the 2018 and up F3’s and F3 s’s??? Really like the F3’s and the F3S. Do I miss a lot by just getting an F3 instead of the F3S???

[@crofty5645]

Just bought this same model pick it up in a few days can't wait!!!!!

[@scootergirl8615]

Test road one this past Saturday. Had such a blast. Was gone for a good 45 min lol. They had started to get nervous. But it was so much fun. To bad it's priced kind of up there. Oh well one day

[@michaelt308]

Thanks for the great reviews Shawn! What is the maintenance on this machine? Is there more value in a clutched model or semi auto model (looking to get this model, and when I move on to different bike want to know which one will be more in demand-better resale).

[@ShawnSmoak]

Definitely more value in the SE6 models, as the 1330ACE motor no longer has clutch concerns of the earlier 991 twin engines. The SM6 model no longer has a performance advantage either. One by one, BRP is dropping the SM6 from the lineup... Thanks Michael!

[@michaelt308]

@@ShawnSmoak thanks for the feedback Sean! Can you tell me what the maintenance would be on a semi-automatic

[@voodoochild6741]

That's the bike im going to purchase at the end of the year! CANT WAIT!!

[@williejr3338]

Nice video. Thinking about getting a f3 limited, would like to see full detail review of one

[@Miguelito0oO]

Hi! Now that you mention it. What's your opinion about breaking in a motorcycle motor? I guess by what you said you wouldn't rev it high the first miles?

[@fehartwi]

Really enjoy your spyder videos. Would like to see a walk around on the new f3 limited if you get a chance. Hope to have one someday..

[@LimitedInfinity1]

I bought mine a couple of days ago.. If I put standard bars, and a larger screen on it, would it still be a "Daytona" ??

[@JeffJamesoutdoors]

Love it. Now it just needs separate brake controls for front and back.

[@budfans]

shawn how reliable are the newer spyders f3s? i like the tri glides but the spyders are cheaper and they seem to handle better but i know the tri glide wont catch fire.. your thoughts please since you work on them? thanks

[@Dongenton]

I’ve actually been looking at this Daytona edition, but it is a six speed manual. Have not ridden either yet but which one do you think somebody would prefer even if they have a motorcycle background , but also a lot of ATV riding ? I think the manual would let you feel more of the driving experience.

[@1990-t1j]

The bike he rode was a semi-auto.

[@markdrumheller185]

Shawn, I've been looking at the RT Limited, but even the cost of older models is a budget concern. I see several with the 998 motor that are affordable. My concern it that I would be buying an inferior product. What is your take on this?

[@LenosKrue]

hi shawn i have 2013 rs looking for bar risers can you point me in the right direction,

[@tomkirchhoff4672]

Was looking at a ryker 900 because they're cheap and I'm so tired after work riding a 1800cc was exhausting, but this thing has the power! And it's not a scooter automatic

[@frank09busa]

I've decided to purchase Can Am because you make these video and it just looks fun. thanks Shawn. you allowed me to make this decision easy.

[@johnoehrlein8379]

My debate, this one or the Ryker. Thinking this one, I'm a stout 280 lbs, need the power to haul the freight lol

[@miken1460]

I'm in the same boat....this or the Ryker?!? I like the idea of the Lighter weight and similar power to weight ratio of the Ryker 900. I don't like the fact that the Ryker is a CVT.

[@donlane2855]

I’m 6’-4” and weigh 250, and my 2017 Daytona 500 hauls me around just fine! It’ll do 102 mph in 4th gear! I just took out a 1956 Chevy with a 409 last Sunday!👍🏻🤪

[@rgamore]

I miss your spyder reviews, glad to see you haven't forgot us.

[@moose64]

Are these comfortable for long trips? That Daytona 500 is wicked looking. Needs a new pipe.

[@ShawnSmoak]

+todd baker - Yeah, they are amazingly comfortable on long trips! Though the F3/S are made for more local rides due to its streamline sport cruiser styling. If that's the type of riding you plan on doing, the F3-T/LTD models have creature comforts designed for the long hauls... Or, the RT models for the ultimate comfort, but they don't have the spirited handling and performance of the F3 line.

[@moose64]

Thanks Shawn...you're a wealth of knowledge.

[@noelpogiako1]

I have been following you on KZbin about the Can-Am Spyder. I am planning to get this 2017 Daytona 500 series as a demo unit from NY dealer. I need to know from you the maintenance of this trike compare to my 2014 Harley 883 custom 1200. I want something I can ride sporty and comfort for long drive/cruise like 3-5 hrs on a weekend also I really like the color yellow. One of our dealer in NJ gave up selling Can-Am Spyder and they keep just the Seadoo because they told me there's a lot of problems from the customers. I don't know if this is real. I know you came from stock HD 883 to another bike. Please help me to decide and give me some opinions about this CanAm Spyder Daytona 500 Thanks and I really appreciate your feedback.

[@ShawnSmoak]

I sent you an email kind sir..! Thanks for watching!

[@jimmonterosso9176]

it does look cool it should really move down the road better then my rt does thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@ShawnSmoak]

+jim monterosso - Thanks Jim!

[@nitrorc7769]

I really do enjoy your videos on the spyder it's making me want one.

[@JohnSmith-rs2hz]

Thank you for the great reviews!

[@OtisENGINEuity]

they should've made that model a manual trans only thing and given it more power. I still miss the sound of the twins though, I don't care if the triple has more power the sound of a twin is just better.

[@laurelv03]

Loved it I needed a spyder fix

[@kidda74]

Wow a jet ski for the road! :)

[@thebionicpig]

oh my goodness.... I felt like I was behind the wheel. VERY COOL EXPERIENCE!!

[@meganlegary4036]

love the video i have a rs-s and now i want to upgrade :)

[@slyguyaction]

You are truly making it really, really, really difficult to convince my wife to keep the 2015 FLRT FreeWheeler I bought her Shawn. Haha. She loves these Can-Am things. Especially the semi-automatic transmission. Damn you man. Haha!! Ride safe!!

[@ShawnSmoak]

Lol... Sorry Ryan! Just don't let her ride one, or you'll really be in for it... Hee Hee I haven't ridden a Free Wheeler yet, but they sure look cool! The salesman at NW Harley sent the wife a photo of the new 2017 Iron 883 with the exact color scheme as my SGS... Oh man!! Thanks Ryan! You guys be safe out there.

[@drummerdrummer]

Can we get an Iron blog soon? :)

[@happytoo10]

That's really nice,good to see you back on a spyder 👍

[@jagundala1]

Hey Shawn thats our Pittsburgh Steelers colors. That would be a hit in Pa.

[@denniscleveland9836]

What a Spyder , very sweet looking and sounds good to on video.

[@ShawnSmoak]

+Dennis Cleveland - She's something else..! Fun to ride and easy on the eyes... Thanks Dennis!

[@aussierob1947]

Did you not engage the parking brake before turning the key Shawn ? Tsk tsk. Hehe....

[@paulsullivan931]

Hey Shawn,thanks man,that was way cool,if I owned it I would have to call it the Bumblebee 😃👍

[@ShawnSmoak]

+Paul Sullivan - Lol, she is the Bumblebee version of the Spyder... I thought about that, but you're the first I've heard mention it. 👌🏻😎 Thanks Paul!!

[@RawLu.]

LOVE.

[@ShawnSmoak]

Thanks Robert!

[@ibobvt2]

Shawn Smoak Seriously you have the best Can-Am videos on KZbin. Keep up the great work. I alway mention your channel to my fellow riders. Love your vlogs too. Like how much of yourselves you and your wife put into them.

[@ShawnSmoak]

Well thank you very much Robert!! I really appreciate the kindness and sharing the channels! Hope you have an awesome weekend!

[@superman242242]

Not a motorcycle , just saying . Interesting piece of machinery though ! :P

[@ShawnSmoak]

+Wandering_larry - It's considered a three wheeled motorcycle, not a trike, as it in no way handles or looks like one. Other than the lack of counter steering, it's like riding a wide two wheeler... I bounce between two wheelers and Spyders all the time without a thought and love them both. Not everyone's thing, and I'm totally cool with that... Thanks for watching and commenting Larry!

[@superman242242]

I watch most of your vids ! And I'm not trying to put it down I just have a hard time putting it into the motorcycle class and consider it's kind of it's own thing . I think they are an interesting machine though and would love to have the oppurtunity to ride one some day

[@frank09busa]

Wandering_larry trikes are not bikes? so, what are they?

[@munkeenevahrong239]

Corvettes aren't motorcycles either, people compare and judge. I own both. My F3S is a blast. So is my VTX 1800. I warn people, if you test ride a Spyder, you'll likely want one.

[@rocket3man371]

@@munkeenevahrong239 I so agree! I own a 2017 daytona and 3 two wheeled bikes!

[@johnevans6399]

Looks like a really cool lawnmower, don't you think!? 🗽

[@douglascassetty6553]

Thanks Shawn now Penny wants to trade her 2014 Limited. NOT. It is a cool bike.

[@JosephBerger_1]

Shawn, thanks to you and your vlog I'm now a proud owner of F3-S. Here's what I think about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2bOpHhvZZJld7M
