You are all bullshit because I am biased with the spyder

The Can-Am Roadster: When you're too much of a wimp to ride a motercycle, but too much of a man to ride a bike.
-
Yeah 35MPG is pretty disappointing considering there is not much to the thing.
-
This thing is too heavy and it is not sporting. I like the idea but the execution is lacking. This is not a good looking machine, just something different. I hope they keep working on it, it is a great start.
-
Anybody know what kind of MPGs this gets ?
-
be that as it may, it still seems to make sense to me to put the two wheels in front, as weight gets thrown to the front outside of a vehicle on turns.
-
I hear you there, I'm going to buy one soon because hell, Who doesn't like the idea of a reverse trike that doesn't look like crap but instead looks like THIS?
-
I've seen the motdel and it really looks cool, i'd love to ride one... I read lots of comments about the spyder being the "street snowmobile", well consider that bombardier invented the snowmobile...
-
I have driven quite a few robins,the reason they fall over is that the driver/passenger are sitting too far forward and too far out of the front wheel,if you look at a robin chassis youll find they are rectangular with the front wheel hanging of the front cross bar,fine for slow speeds,but as I said too much hanging outside the triangulation of the rear and front wheels,that is why they tip over!!!
-
Do a youtube search on "Reliant Robin race" to see what happens when you put the two wheels in back.
-
What a pile of poo,and yes I do build trikes,everyone knows the twin wheel go at the rear,mid engined,with a good bike front end,tubular chasis using the engine as a stressed member,by doing that you can you some vast engines,V8's or 12's,the twin front wheel desighn has been around for donkeys years and all riders know it crap,the arses tend to fly out on them in the wet,when turning as there is little weight on the rear end.

can am > Yamaha
-
Its a street snowmobile! Now yamaha should build one too..but better.
-
this thing resembles the snowmobile platform... think of it as roadmobile or streetmobile... lol i saw the part where theyre sort of goin sideways on corners... Spyder drifting anyone???
-
I am in love all over again....and my wife knows all about it!!!!
-
I insist: they should have included a leaning system like the one developed by Piaggio in their MP3 scooter trike.
-
I really want one!!!
-
No currently only street versions!
-
I just HATE the way the call the bike a "product" and the rider a "Client" I mean I know that's what it is to them.But not to me. It makes things seem like they're all just numbers.
-
Why do they keep callingit 'the product' It's beast for fuck sake. They're way too clinical in their presentation.
