Spyder anyone?
http://spyder.brp.com/
OK, it looks like a street legal snow mobile but I think I am gonna line up a demo on one of these babies. Looks interesting. Maybe for my wife that is too afraid to ride a motorcycle?

I work for a Can Am/ Ski-Doo dealer and had a chance to demo a Spyder for a few hours. What a fun and unique ride! I was very impressed overall.
Any of you who snowmobile will LOVE a Spyder as that is exactly what piloting a Spyder feels like....
The Spyder has huge advantages for riders with bad knees, or lower extremities issues in generall. Women are also showing a huge interest in the Spyder, no more "top heavy" feel, or the fear of lack of balance, or too tall of a seat height. This is the main reasons women get intimidated by motorcycles...
Take advantage of the demo programs and try one, you will love them!

For those that have demod this thing, how easy is his to tip over? I had a 3-wheeler ATV that was very easy to tip.

The Spydersuse a sophisticated electronicanti-roll system that when the Spyder senses excessive front wheel lift, the traction control unit applies light braking to the lifting wheel, allowing the front end to set back down.
But of course, once those crazy canucks find a way to "bypass" the traction control unit(s), look out...... people will get killed... (but have some fun in the process) LOL
