It's a Can-Am Spyder. Takes up the space of a car, total road hog, not convenient to park like a motorcycle, heavier than a bike, and expensive too. Looks like a snowmobile on wheels. I personally hate it... but hey, if you wanna marry it, be my guest. *yawn* Now if it had a futuristic overhead covering (like a car) for aerodynamics and rain protection, or it got 100+ to 200+ mpg, I would buy one. To me, if you're going to embark on a design, it should have a significant technical advantage someway or another. Furthermore, if you're going to attempt something radical, go all the way. They should have made this with a low recumbent postion (low center of mass), with fairings that are electronically controlled to behave like airplane sails to assist high speed cornering. If it could outperform both a car (in cornering) and a bike (in acceleration), then at least it could have bragging rights. To me, this is just another car. Makes you wonder if these guys did a market or focus-group survey to see if the Spyder was indeed what riders wanted.

  • I love the Spyder!

    The thing I love about the Can-Am Spyder is that I can park easily between cars like a motorcycle. When I am maneuvering through traffic I am in complete control, passing cars, and merging with ease.
    Another great thing is that all of those hot women more...who are are afraid of 2 wheel motorcycles love the roadster!
    Hell Yeah!
