Default Can-Am Spyder

Whoa. A 3-wheeled contraption with the 2 wheels in the front. Check out their home page. I really don't think this is going to take a bite out of my Harley stocks!

At $15,000 MSRP, that's the most affordable 3-wheeled bike I've seen yet. If it can match the performance of the MUCH more expensive T-Rex... I wouldn't be surprised if I see a few on the road.

My wife brought me an article in the paper about them a couple weeks ago. She wants one.

1000cc and someone in a different thread quoted a $15k price tag for the base model.

Looks like there's not a bit of comfort on that thing for a tall rider. Cool design though.

My brother and I test drove the things for half an hour last Saturday here in Phoenix. Interesting, but we were glad to get back on the Harleys. My brother {who most days could just take the purchase price outta his pocket} was'nt impressed at all. Real uncomfortable riding position, no hand brake, kinda 'jerky' steering, hard to hold on even on a slow corner, real plasticky. I think they will probably sell well initially, but fade pretty quick. Just not that much fun.
