Ok these are starting to show up a lot more on the streets around here. Was wondering what you think or know about them?
I sat on one at a motorcycle show last year, was kinda cool, but never tested one on the road. Anybody here have one?
What gets me is, the price. Supposedly made in Canada (Valcourt QB) yet on the Canadian website they are about $3000
more per model than in the U.S.A. And "our" dollar is suppose to be higher in exchange rate? (end rant)
Anyway, last year I saw a guy really working it through the corners, looking much like when riding a snowmobile as far
as effort to turn. So are they a chore to ride or as easy as a real 2 wheel motorcycle? Apparently you can get your
motorcycle certification license on one. Here is a link to their website Can Am Spyder
Pricing starts at, RS $16,500 US ($19,300 CDN), RT $21,400 US ($24,900 CDN)
The one at the show $30,000+ CDN and had a matching trailer for $5,000
