Default reverse trike

We were at Daytona this year and saw some bikes that had 2 wheels up front and one on the rear. They kind of resembled a reverse trike with the same lines as a sport bike. I had a few Jaggerbombs under my belt when we saw themso my memory is very vague but I was curious if anyone knows what I am talking about and if so what are they called.

They're called a Spyder. I saw them at the Beach and Bikefeast on South Pardre Island a couple weeks ago. I live nearby and decided to go this year. They're pretty cool. They were giving test rides but I didn't take the opportunity. I think they might also be called Can Am Spyder. Here's the link http://spyder.brp.com/

I have looked at both website and neither give any info abou the drive train. I am not interested in buying just curious what kind of motors and hp these things are running.

I was riding behind a T-rex at the Lone Star Rally last year and the police pulled them over for no obvious reason neither one of us were breaking the law i think the LEO'swere justas curious about the thing as I was.
