The Spyder ain’t a car and it ain’t a bike, and if you’re looking for the core qualities of either, you might be disappointed. But if you’re in the market for a fun-yet-unintimidating ride, Can-Am’s new roadster might be right up your alley. Can-Am says: “Spyder brings the active riding style commonly associated with off-road vehicles to the road. The result is an entirely new riding sensation on pavement.” The Spyder’s Rotax V-Twin produces a claimed 106 hp at 8500 rpm and 77 lb-ft of torque at 6250 rpm, channeling the leftovers and noise out of a 2-into-1 exhaust. ---

I looked at one some guy had around clifton park. He had some custom billet pieces, custom seat, yosh exhaust… Lots of money in that thing. It is literly a Rev snomobile chassis with tires instead of skiis, and swingarm and wheel instead of track and suspension. If you put two fat asses on the back you might be able to wheelie it, but it would more than likely flop right over once you stood it up. Personally I wouldnt be caught dead on it. ---

> [@SSmokinn SS](#): > > seen them at seymoures…I wonder if i could wheelie one lol Stock you can’t ☹ I took one of these for a test ride from Seymours when they were released. They’re a weird ride. There’s a boat load of electronics on this thing to help stabilize and control it. Actually has traction control built into the ignition, so wheelies are out of the question. I imagine someone has/will build a cutout system or something soon to solve that problem. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/can-am-spyder/237548.md?page=2)
