The year was 1974 . I was in my second year at high school. I had heard about the awesome power of the Can Am Rotax engine and I wanted one. I worked after school for months and saved every dollar. I bought a new, 1974 Can Am TNT 125 for $1065 and took it out for the first time to the grounds of my high school. The power was amazing! It had a plastic tank and fenders so it could handle abuse. I even bought the same shirt that Ryan wears in the video. When I turned 16 I licensed it and rode it to work. I loved that bike. It was unlike anything else in the market.

As a Ryker owner, I think this video is a perfect representation of why some people will love Rykers, and some will wonder why anyone rides them at all. They are unruly, physical machines where you really do feel the road like nothing else. You can swing the back end out with ease and spin tires all day long. If a normal bike is a horse, elegant and fierce, the Ryker is a giant boar, wild and instinctual. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

[@ionceateapinecone]

The fact you can still buy and ride running Skidoos from the 60s is honestly a testament to their quality. I had a 64 Olympic and while it made all the power of a lawnmower, it's narrow frame and grunty single cylinder were ideal for cutting new trails for the bigger sleds to follow.

Great history lesson on Can-Am, most of which I didn't know. After riding motorcycle for over fifty years, medical issues made riding a thing of the past. My wife must have seen it coming and told me, for several years, to test ride a Spyder. I was dead set against three wheels, most especially if two were up front. Eventually I sadly sold all my bikes and listened to my wife. I now own a 2021 Spyder F3. I was lukewarm about the idea at first but now I'm very glad that I bought it. The Spyder keeps my knees in the breeze and a smile on my face. And you can't beat that.

Love it! Every time I find one of these super old videos, I find out that Ryan puts out gold even in his younger years.

I was born and raised in Quebec, not far from Valcourt were all of this wonderful story began, I thank you for reviving these events it was very well done. Good job neighbor.

[@larryboles629]

I own a 2017 Cam-Am Spyder RT also a 2019 Spyder ST, to say I love them is an understatement. The amount of tech in these bikes is off the charts. The Rotax power plant is dependable as hell. Yes with the stock tires at 20 psi do cause the bike to feel "squiggly". The cure is good quality auto tires at 32 psi. A totally different world. Also with all the tech the bike has to use a belt drive to transfer power to the rear tire is a let down. I would and will buy another one. Your channel really is amazing. Keep up the good work bro.

I Raced on a MX1 CAN-AM back in 70's. Fastest 250 I ever rode. This was one hell of a great episode.

Thanks bruv

[@livewire..]

Good history lesson! Now I remember where I got the three-inch-long scar on my left shoulder. A 250cc CanAm TNT and a 110 lb16-year-old were not a good mix.

[@boiledelephant]

Mate it's Canadian af that you were able to forget the origin of a 3-inch scar in the first place.

[@livewire..]

@@boiledelephant So true

[@zazarays]

Are yall talking about that Black widow bike? I dont understand what was going on there. It didnt handle good? Why did the racers refuse to ride it?

[@livewire..]

@@zazarays I remember the CanAm motorcycles as very powerful and very fast bikes. No, they did not handle well, mostly due to the poor suspension and frame flex.

[@Imightberiding]

Dude, that Can Am moto jersey is the coolest garment I have seen in years. Can Am was considered a top shelf choice of serious off-road & enduro riders from the mid 1970's until 1981 or so. I know this first hand because I'm old & graduated from High School in 1981 after riding them since 1977 & went away to college & met other Can Am owners who had just purchased a recent Qualifier. I loved & still miss those high rev snappy power bands of the 2-stroke Can Am's for off road (you definitely had to know how to ride & manhandle them) & Yamaha RD 350's & RD400's for the street. Also had a 1977 Suzuki Triple 2-stroke liquid cooled GT750 (Water Buffalo or Tea Kettle)Very sad to see them all go away. Yep, Suzuki conquered everything off-road at the time with their lighter, easily ridden, more manageable & very quick new RM's. Back to the point, I gotta get me a new Can Am jersey. Also, love the traditional colour scheme on the Ryker.

[@Jasper3478]

I bought a Ryker Rally just a month ago and it's honestly been one of my best purchases I've made yet. It makes going to work everyday a fun experience and it's just an absolute joy driving around everywhere down here in the American South.

[@numetheus]

I ride a Ryker. Absolutely love it. Are you going to put out a full review of it?

[@rendezvouswithdestiny1717]

Wow 😳 this was so awesome! Informative! Gripping! Exciting! I know any Canadian that watches it will feel a sense of pride! Thank you for such quality content!

[@jonstone2466]

Nicely done. I am a biker but also love the Ryker. Different riding experiences for sure but each has its own thrills. The Ryker is a fun machine and the absence of the refinements found on the Spyder I think are actually a plus. Both full road niches that nothing else touches (and don’t say Polaris Slingshot as it is a car).

[@ghostg16]

dude, how great is the production value on this channel?

[@ManiacRacing]

I had a 1976 CanAm TNT 175 and I can vouch for the power. That bike was still outrunning new 250 MX bikes well into the 80's. I'll never forget the look on the face of our local rich kid '83 YZ250 rider when I passed him on my beater 3" suspended CanAm.

Rotax is still owned by Bombardier, still produces the engines for their quads, snow mobiles, aircrafts, and even motorcycle engines for BMW (and according to wikipedia for Aprillia too).

[@Frejborg]

Were also used in some Buells.

[@georgeerhard1949]

@@Frejborg Correct! The Buell Blasts were entry-level bikes used in the HD Eagle Rider safety courses, if memory serves.

[@ryancraig2795]

This sort of thing is why I watch your videos, Ryan. Fantastic production values, and more about the history of Bombardier (BRP) than I knew before. Still don't think it's a motorcycle, but I'll wave at people riding (not driving - riding) one.

[@mattgoodmangoodmanlawnmowi2454]

Where did you see someone riding one as opposed to sitting on top of one?

[@anthonyhulse1248]

After a knee replacement and cancer I bought one. Turn off traction control and Sliding it round corners is a hoot. It’s great on the gravel roads round here.

[@jackmoore3705]

I worked for them back in the 90s. The test center was on the Intercoastal waterway in south brevard county Florida. I started just after the release of the 717. Best little power plant rotax ever built. The end of my time with them was the 951. We killed almost five a day. What power when it ran right. But that’s bomb*ba*deer. What a great video!!! My favorite was the HX.
