Saw a 3-wheeler last night.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;two wheels in front...one in back&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Said Cam am on side of bike .&nbsp\\; Looked pretty cool.&nbsp\\; Anyone seen one?&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

 

Yeah, called a Can Am Spyder. Made by BRP, of Ski Doo and Sea Doo parts.&nbsp\\;

 

I have seen a couple on the road here in the Chicago burbs.

One close up.

Kind of a weird deal. Not for me.

you are a mental midget.
&nbsp\\;
back to the post\\; yes, can am spyder.. made by bombardier.&nbsp\\; I met a couple that owns one and they love it.&nbsp\\; has 96 hp and handles very well.&nbsp\\; looks like fun, but nothing i'd buy.&nbsp\\; but if i had to ride a trike, that would be the one.

I spoke to a sales rep at a local dealer that sells them, and he said they are not even in the same league (besides 3 wheels) as a trike.&nbsp\\; They've got ABS brakes (discs all around) that are all controlled by the right foot, no right hand brake handle.&nbsp\\; Independant spring suspension on the wheels.&nbsp\\; Also have traction control and supposedly fantastic handling.&nbsp\\; And of course reverse for when you forget to plan ahead and fail at parking.&nbsp\\; He said, "These are for those that don't want to spend so much time watching the road and worrying about keeping their two-wheeled bike up."&nbsp\\; Personally I think they're a fad and won't be around long.&nbsp\\; Plus they have a $16000+ price tag.&nbsp\\; I can think of alot of other bikes I'd rather have for that kind of money.

 

May look fun, but my idea of being a comfortable ride isnt being bent over a tank like that.
