BAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA Why would i subscribe to some loser with shit opinions on vehicles? If you didn't get paid for this then that's sad lol
Perfect vehicle for baby boomers who can no longer hold up a heavy tourer. I sat in 95° heat for an hour because of an accident and all of the two wheeler goldwingers had to dismount or fall over from crablegging the big beasts 😁.
Now thats what I wanted to hear.
Shit I'm buying one for deliveries lmao
yes,that is my issue. I still enjoy riding but have to face the reality of my & limitations.
…age
Local PD bought them instead of bikes for stability on the terrible city infrastructure
The transmission is semi-automatic. You must upshift by using the switches. It will down shift by itself.
I picked up a 2022 Sea to Sky yesterday. 38 years riding motorcycles before this.
Some negatives-- the plastic feels like trash. Hasbro toys in the 80's kind of plastic. I don't know if that is a paint job or simply blue plastic. It looks nice, but it doesn't look like paint. The wind deflectors feel like parts off a child's toy. All plastic parts have molding edges left on them.
The DCT is at best...primitive. I have a Honda CTX with a DCT (that is now in the Gold Wings) and it is amazing. In comparison the Spyder's DCT is clunky, loud, slow, and janky. It isn't even close to the Honda DCT.
Controls could be in better locations. Its awkward engaging the cruise control while maintaining throttle. I don't know why there are a dozen controls for the radio. Half the buttons on the bike are just for the radio.
The gas fill hole is the size of the pump nozzle so you cannot physically see the gas level. You must rely on the pump to stop itself like in a car. I just turn the dash on and watch the fuel gauge. I can always smell gasoline. The cap is on tight and the seat down, but I can smell gas at a stop or when I pull into my garage.
It seems to run hot under the hood. The speakers for the radio and the little glove box are both rather warm to the touch after a ride. I wouldn't actually want to put my phone in there.
The power steering is way too responsive and makes the thing feel very nervous with even slight inputs - like over rough roads- the suspension does a great job eating bumps but any tiny movement of the bars results in the machine acting instantly and rather quickly. Simply put- it doesn't 'flow' like a two wheeled machine. It takes active riding and simply isn't nearly as relaxing to drive as two wheels. It's very much like an ATV- except at much higher speeds than on a trail in the woods.
I still enjoy the heck out of it. But for almost 30 large I can see where some improvements could be made before I had 100 miles on it.
The Can Am is not a dual clutch transmission as on the Honda's. I've ridden 800,000 miles on two-wheelers and admit, the steering on the Can Am takes some getting use to, but I am getting there. I have only had the RT for a month and 1500 miles, but I am getting more relax. I agreed with the radio controls and the cruise control. Overall, I am very happy with the RT, but still have a couple 2-wheelers to ride for something different.
Totally uninformed video. A well maintained Spyder is high mileage at 120k km perhaps, not 40k. I drove a 2017 until 160k km without major breakdowns, except a belt/pulleys assembly and i sold it in awsome shape. It was a daily drive. As disadvantages i would consider: takes a lot of space to park, can't filter lanes, service can be a bit pricey (not more than a BMW, Ducatti etc), on cornering it takes more effort than a bike. Pros: good fuel consumption (7l/100km), great lightining system (even if only halogen) pretty fast, stable, smooth, seating & ridding positions are awsome, good sound system, a lot of storage space, 3 cyclinder sounds awsome over 4k rpm and have a long service interval, saddles are soft and confortable, good wind protection, gearbox is nice and finally, the wow factor comparable to a Lamborghini. As you might guess, i would buy another one any day.
2 wheels make a single track, ez to avoid bumps. 4 wheels make a double track, difficult to avoid all bumps. 3 wheels make a triple track, impossible to avoid bumps. Bumps could be any road hazard.
Says the one who’s never driven a 3 wheel🙄
@@Pickle_Riiiick and u would know that how?
@@kevinnielsen1356 by your idiotic comment. I can tell you’re in the 1% of two wheel riders that don’t give the peace sign when driving by a 3 wheel rider. Hating on 3 wheel bikes for no reason at all. If I enjoy my 3 wheel bike that’s all that matters I could care less what you think.
Wow, never thought of that! Thanks!
Just got a spyder 2008 model no stereo or cruise control. 100 mile trip was comfortable though. Front tires close enough to avoid most potholes, just don't try to straddle one or the rear wheel will hit it. If not avoidable straddle anyways, because the back tire is toughest one.
No wonder it looks like a snowmobile.
It was created by the company that INVENTED the snowmobile.
up to 60,000 miles? I wanted to get one as a daily smh
Presently on my 4th Spyder--all used sans the latest one. Even had a '13 (we don't talk of that one). Absolutely LOVE the brand (would love to be the official Can-Am spokesperson).
My credit union here in Vegas finances me for these bad boys at 10 years--crazy! So...the payment is really small. I make double payments...and you know what that does to my FICO?! Thanks to my Spyder obsession, I have a 750 FICO!
Present bike is the '21 RT Limited--$33K fully loaded. And worth every penny: killer stereo, incredible storage, heated seats and handgrips. And maintenance? Once a year, there is a laundry list of stuff that gets checked out--all for about $375.
I personally think Spyder is the best thing to ever happen to a motorcycle.
Please give me the name of your credit union!
“We don’t talk of that one” 😂 thanks for the comment. I’m sold
@@letitiasignater252Did he ever give you the name of the credit union? I need to get that deal myself for a 10 year plan. 💯💙
What was the story with your 2013 model?
How do you feel about the mechanics? And the Dealership that service, the can am. This is wants holding me back from purchasing one. Who would you recommend. People tell me to stay away from Ride Now dealership.
Maybe in a decade more itll be efficient. 60g Life milage is CRAP for 25g upward.. Also THE DANGEROUS HEAT is NOT A SELL . WHATSOEVER . 👎👎
I own a spyder 2021 and you CAN put it in sport mode which give the ability to drift.
What model
25K is high miles? Goldwings are just warming up. 😂
Nice looking but I’ll pass no thank you I’ll stick to my Honda
I have owned my 2012 RTL for over five years.
I'm lucky to have Spyder pop's and Lamontster within a few hours of where I live for my maintenance needs. The video is partly correct. I have had issues with mine, especially electronic. Chasing an brake error code now when there is no brake issue. Just had it all checked out.
As far as the price discussion, I think when you actually compare Spyder s to a Harley or Gold wing trike. The Spyder is on the lower end. I've seen most of the other two going for $30k and up.
I would also consider the Ryker as entry level.
All in all I would still go with a Spyder and I ride all year long.
Have you got caught out in the snow and how did it do
Spyder gets good gas mileage, I can drive for 2 wks on $20 to work and home.
U can keep the vss from coming on u have to upgrade the sway bar and shocks because the stock sway bar is too thin to keep the stability of the bike in corners..baja ron sway is way thicker so the stability is greatly improved and shocks also assist really cause the stock shocks are bad especially the rear shock it's really easy to bottom it out..elka, m2, wilber(overseas riders), king shocks are worth the money but it also depends how u ride to I have a f3 so I notice it but if u have a rt then it may depends same with the ryker as well
I’ve always been interested in the Spyder. Never been particularly a fan of motorcycles or bikes in general, father scared me away at a pretty young age with a gruesome experience he had, but I’ve always rode ATVs and currently own a Can Am outlander and I think the spyder is a cool middle ground. Maybe once I pay off all my other vehicles I’ll get one.
I’m 40 young and healthy. I don’t prefer a two wheel motorcycle. Especially in Florida…. I ride pass all the other 2 wheel motorcycles in heavy rain that are stuck under an underpass waiting for the storm to pass on a high way. Multiple times safer and stable than a 2 wheel motorcycle and yes it has handle bars so it’s a motorcycle a cycle with a motor, no convincing the haters just move on…. best thing about it is that I can ride the bike naked with no bags and windshield and it becomes a sport ride and when I put the bags and windshield it becomes a cruiser. It’s best of all worlds.
can't wait to get a can am when i'm older and don't care to ride a heavy bike anymore and balancing and being in pain and all that junk.
looking forward when i'm older to have cruise control and full balance on its own.
And it is definitely NOT unfortunate a spyder can't do a wheely. would be dumb anyway if they could.
Don't listen to Fast Lane TV, either he hates Can-Am, or he wants you to buy made in China. Can-Am doing great and I enjoy every minute of it.
I'll consider the Yamaha Niken before this.
Great advice. Gonna get one soon.
You really have no idea what you are talking about do you? There are so many false statements in this video. Apparently, you don't have a Spyder. Maybe you should review bicycles.
Thank you so much that help a lot. I’m looking for one.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍
Thanks for reading out the manual...
I've owned two. The dealer is just insufferable, all three of them I dealt with. Get ready to bend over and hold your ankles! Super expensive to repair, total lemon. Both of them I had were more expensive to repair than my M car. Ridiculous. You hit 95 and you risk the death rattle, fyi. Tires don't hook up at higher speeds, it's just junk.
Looks like those cars were more high-maintenance than a celebrity! Perhaps it's time for a change.
My best guess is that you’re not buying a Spyder to do 120 mph or to pop wheelies. We’ve owned our ‘22 RT for almost 2 years and find it well made, reliable and a lot of fun. Plus my wife and daughter will get on it.
That's awesome to hear! It sounds like you're really enjoying your Spyder!
Test drove a new Can-Am and found it twitchy and when on roads that have slight (and hard to see) uneven surfaces, the bike wanders all over the place. 2 other riders that were there, were part of the 1+ hour test ride, felt the same way. We were all disappointed.
BTW, the test rides were done by Can-AM so those bikes were perfect (well, not quite perfect).
Here in NL spyders cost a whooping 30.000$ my spyder costs a total of 34.000$ full decked out
I'm in Ontario Canada and the RT Limited is $36000 and Sea to sky is $37500 plus tax at 13%
4:24 That's a Ryker, the Spyder's more afordable "Little Brother" .
I rode Goldwing in 1998 I might buy Spyder cause of my age now hehehe...
Ya'll don't have your own content, you just take it from others. I have seen at least 6 or seven different videos mashed together.
Maintenance to me it's too expensive on a Can-Am. Front end alignment for a Can-Am is way too expensive and too often.
I wonder if SRKcycles knows you've used this much of their footage.
I totally disagree they are junk buy a motorcycle learn how to ride! Two wheels are the way to go😮
you say 'poor gas mileage'... but what is the actually number?
GREAT information right here. Well represented, my friend. Cheers!!! ✔️💯💪
It's all about that top-notch representation, right? Glad you liked it!
Good info, didn't know about the issues on the 2013 model. I have an order in already, been waiting for delivery as this year has been complicated by chip shortages and other part delays. Hoping to get some good news soon as my date has been pushed back a few times already. But still hyped and excited to get it...
Yep, my 22 RT Limited came in a month ago but is missing the park break module and reverse module so I can look at it, but can't ride it.. so frustrating
@@macwiller2105 hey, I just got the word - bike in, parts in!!! I can pick up next week 😁 My special series was missing same parts, but only took just over a week to get them. I hope yours come soon - I've been hearing parts have been arriving more frequently now so hope to hear good news on your end within the next week!
@@kdub607 and I'm in Canada too 🤣 seems like we're last on the list for the chips.. make them here but make everyone else happy I guess..
@@macwiller2105 oh snap, Mac! I didn't know that - that really sucks! I hope they expedite you, sorry to hear you're still waiting. But I know you'll love it once you get it out on the road. Setting up so I can pick up next Friday, so keeping my fingers crossed on a smooth delivery.
@@kdub607 it's been a LONG month waiting, the dealership said "do you want to come by and see it" I said, "no not really, because I'll want to ride it even more then" I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end.. and all will be forgotten
I know this is an older video but is the Ryker closer to a motorcycle? If not, is there a different factory made motorcycle outside Can-am that is as stable as a car but corners like a motorcycle?
@FASTLANETV14 ?
Gotta get one of these
With the nerve damage progressing in my back this is a great alternative while still keeping my regular bikes till I can no longer use them
A man at my father’s church bought two for him and his wife and they both love the Spyder, they fully switched from bike to Spyder and I don’t think they regret it.
Same story, nerve damage on left leg. Already down 40% from a previous work accident/surgery and now am facing my next surgery and debating the future of my 22 ultra Limited sitting in my garage next to my wife’s RT/L so I do have the ability to create a long term decision. However not being able to foot shift my Ultra is killing me.
Could you please tell me how the l Fuel mileage mileage is low what I can do about 2:00 miles and a 14
30.38 MPG on average
This is very ugly to see it on the road 😢
The RT model $23,500? More like $27,500.
The regular RT is 23,200. The RT limited is 27,500. I just bought a 2022 RT limited, it’s awesome!
@@shellybulla8089 thanks for the reply Shelly. Is there any wiggle room on price at the dealerships or are they selling for MSRP because of supply?
@@craftylimey my dealer is selling at MSRP. I called several others that are adding up to 4000.00 in fees.
@@shellybulla8089 I heard good things about Seminole power sports. Is that your dealer?

Why does "FAST LANE" believe it is necessary to have backgrount "music" while the narrator is speaking?
If you want one go out buy what you want
This voice over is pretty horrible.
27,000 for a base model in Canada
how is this a buyers guide??
Can I race a can am Spyder flattrack ?
what's a top of the line of the line motorcycle that's similar to the Spyder?
Check out the Vanderhall. Or, if speed is your thing, a Compagna T-Rex. 🍻
Buy a manual and do it yourself
I have experience riding motorcycles and their dangerous in case of falling ,crash main reason I like a can am Spyder safety reasons and Spyder basically spring and summer vehicles by November to in the garage till spring

Is one of the owner of this brand motorcycle 👌
No one cares
Only 60k miles? I was thinking about getting one, that seems really low but tbh I’m not sure
im 55 i just completed my 3 wheeled motorcycle test this past weekend and i passed im going to look at a Can Am spyder this weekend first i have to go to DMV with my waiver to get my motorcycle endorsement on my drivers license.
Skidoo bike
Is it good for tall riders? I'm 6'5".
Absolutely
exactly don't buy can am, whoever built it must be The cosmonaut
i’ve driven one. not impressed tbh. it’s fun-ish but i rather my motorcycle
Hard to find anyone to work on the spyder or CanAm in LA County CA. Very hard to get any three wheel motorcycle repaired.
Hey, you need to review the RT limited as well, not just the F3.
Wife bought a 2015 RSS Spyder with 18k while it's pretty quick Can-Am don't want you to ride it aggressively like a regular motorcycle. I believe it's overbuilt technically. Transmission can be clunky and funky you have be very careful of after market add ons like LED's and radios as it could cause issues with your computer and battery life. Engine runs at 1300-1400 RPM it's a little high but it's programmed like that prolly for the automatic downshift on the trans. Too much can go wrong with this thing so I'm not comfortable or confident over the long haul. 25k considered high mileage? no thank you I'll stick with my Honda Valkyrie.
“Clunky and funky” sums up all of Can Ams transmissions. I ride Can Am ATVs and we call it the “Can Am Thrust” when you put it in park you have to rock ATV forward and back to get the gear to set.
I've done 65,000 km on a 2020 RTL, so by your view it should be ready for the scrap heap
Thanks for sharing your experience with us, it's great to hear about your journey!
I loved quads, side-by-sides, and snowmobiles, so a Can Am Spyder is a much better option than a heavy tourer or cruiser than has many inherent dangers and downsides. To me, it may not be worth the risk to ride on 2 wheels, but motorcycles are a lot of fun.
Who needs two wheels when you can have three and still feel the wind in your hair?
Good luck finding reliable and affordable maintenance. Mine spend more time in the shop than on the road. An oil change is $300+
Thanks for the heads up! I'll definitely keep an eye out for better maintenance options.

Poor fuel mileage ? I wonder why ? These things should get 50mpg 🤷🏼♂️
It is a 1330 cc engine
@@micaKTM1290 yea? I get 40-45mpg from a 1600cc engine. So that isn’t it
In the biker world we call these people cagers
They should make the Spyder completely automatic like the Ryker is. That would be my purchase for sure
Same
It's a push button transmission, extremely easy to use. Just press + for upshifting and - for downshifting. It will downshift itself if the rpms get too low.
@@robs9324 ok. To upshift do u just listen for the sound to do so?
@@a.d.c7941 . Yes you can listen for the sound, but it does have a tachometer. My wife’s spyder with the 998cc engine won’t let you upshift unless your past 3,000 rpms.
@@robs9324 I really appreciate this info man. I have always wondered how this works and it sounds like it is pretty easy to learn. Thank you Sir.
What is the fuel mileage?
30.38 MPG ........if you don't ride with your throttle wide open.
@@ak_downrange_threat7251 thats really rotton MPG. My Subaru outback with 2.5 L engine gets 33 on the hiway averaged over a 3000 mile trip I took with it last year. Would think something a lot lighter and smaller and with less frontal area would be able to out do the old sub.

Went from a Ryker Rally to Spyder F3-T and love Can Am products. Only issue with the video is you show a Ryker fuel system with the plastic tube provided, but the Spyder's is totally different and no tube needed.
I’ve had my ryker for two yrs and never once used the tube lol thinking of upgrading to a spyder how do you like yours over the ryker?
@@Pickle_Riiiick My F3-T has semi auto trans that requires upshifting. That's different than the fully auto Ryker. But it's like going from a starter bike to a luxury model. Spyder is way better.
@@Seanemak1 yeah thinking of going to the f3-s but I’m worried about shifting I’ve never shifted anything in my life😂
@@Pickle_Riiiick it's not difficult once you get the hang of it. You'll get used to it quick.
Could've just left it alone with "don't buy a can am" hahahaha. If you want a motorcycle buy a motorcycle. Like you said, Can ams are more snowmobile than motorcycle.
Couldn't pay me to ride one of these ugly try hard motorcycles! If you cant handle 2 wheels stick to a car!
An absolute ignorant thing to say some people have been riding 2 wheels for years...but age or disability prevents them from now riding 2 wheels so this is the only option to them if they want to carry on with the experience of the open road.
Let's just hope you never become disabled eh...but you will certainly get old...if your lucky.
Then don't buy one and stfu.
A motorcycle has 2 wheels, this is nothing more than a motorized tricycle.
You don’t own either boomer!
So a Harley Davidson trike is not a motorcycle?
Have you tried to ride one.
@@rykerbill6832 Indeed I have. They feel like trikes in a sense. The Harley is louder.
Tricycles have 2 wheels in the back, you sound young...when you get older and those joints start aching..then talk!
Typical GIRLS bike
Or disabled people who can ride 2 wheels anymore!! Muppet
You getting one then?
Tested one didn't like it at all went with a harley trike
Why have you included Ryker clips in a review of the Spyder? Especially the Ryker's auxiliary fuel filler tube.
