I'm the guy that rode many two wheelers for years.i have no health issues no back problems.no issues at all I think it's just a beautiful bike I haven't seen anything like it anywhere.Its the new trike to me up to date model I'm kind of tired of the old just outdated trikes..its much safer for the wife to drive and learn .and more stable with the two wheels on the front .you can lean if you want to but it's not going to change the way the Can-Am drives.I can enjoy my stereo or the music I like without the bike being as loud as my music.(Harley)I can turn corners or do deep curves without my muffler or kickstand catching the road .now the Goldwing are nice trike just as the Harley.but the one wheel is a safety issue for me.(remember they did outlawed the ATV 3 wheelers years ago) now Goldwing do have a reverse trike they make .but I just like the up to date look on the Can-Am RT LIMITED.its just a choice of what a person like I'm not dogging anyone I'm just telling what works for me and the wife.and will ride with other three wheelers I just enjoy all the bikes riding together in the country side or hiways.i think it looks really cool.and it really isn't that much of a different feel.you just use less body parts to stop and go on the Can-Am Spyder RT LIMITED.i make sure I call it what it is because the Rykers and other Can-Am are the sports version and it's a totally different bike.it kinda like the Honda sports bike and the trike touring.no comparison to each other.
Hey, Chris, I passed my course, got my endorsement on my license and I'm doing another test ride on the RT Limited this Saturday. Thanks for the info. Keep up the good work.
My wife is watching this with me and she loves it! This is the bike she wants and keeps telling me that when she ready the cam am spyder is her next motorcycle! Thanks for sharing!
Krazy Kool NYer You wife will fall in love the Spyder, its so easy to ride, don't let her make the video, "take my husband, I'm keeping the Spyder." It is very comfortable and fun to ride, even riding two up. I could see myself having a Goldwing and a Spyder, riding together you and your wife will love the Can Am.
You da man, Chris! I'm a Harley owner, but in Calif, you don't need a MC License to rent, so I got my good friend coming out and riding in February. I sent him this video! thanks!!
San Diego, Man.... Take that Goldwing there! She'll appreciate it! I rented a Goldwing in CA, it was White and people thought I was the police! They were moving over for me in Death Valley!! :D
I've owned a 2002 GL1800. I test drove a Can-Am Spyder RT-LTD on 9/14/16. To be honest, I felt way more comfortable on the Spyder. I put 35,000 on my Goldwing and because I'm only 5'6" I struggled at every stop sign especially two-up. The Goldwing was sold for financial reasons but my next bike will be a Spyder.
I really like the Spyder. I would have to have the RT model for me and the wife for touring. Its a tough choice between the Spyder and the Goldwing Trike. I like both. I'm 66 yrs old now and my balance isn't what it used to be so the Spyder or GW Trike would be perfect for us. This was a good video.
Thanks for the video Chris. I did a demo on a Spyder about 2 years ago. Decent ride and power but price is just too much. Can't justify it. I'm riding a MP3 500 now which is a trike as well. I'm like you in that I love all motorcycles. Have fun and be safe out there.
I know you all think I'm a wimp, but I jusr went from Yamaha Majesty 400 to a 2012 Spyder RT Limited. I took it out on the Interstate highway for the first time. What a rush!! A bit scary, but I just need to get used to it. I had done some highway riding, but not on the freeway. Looking forward to more!!
Chris Caliente , I've tested the 3 wheel, I think I like the it, my wife would rather I get the Spyder cause she won't ride a 2 wheel. So it looks like 3 wheels for us.
I appreciate that Chris, I don't think I will either. I test rode the Can Am Spyder F-3S model, which is their cruiser type model, didn't get to ride the RT-LTD, but the RT is the bike i'm seriously considering, I like the red your brother has, but I want the black one.
Your videos are very informative and they give the viewer a sense of what it is like to ride a motorcycle could you do a video on maybe a long road trip talking about the positives and the negatives, by the way through your videos I am now seeking to purchase a Goldwing. thanks.
Hey mike, this is BigBoi00 from Chicago (2008 GL 1800). I really like the way your headsets work. I like that you don't have any bulky hardware or mics on the outside of your helmet, and that the audio is so clear from you as well as the other riders! What set up are you using? Can you offer advice on a cost effective blue tooth set up?
Hey chris this is my dream bike I never rode bike before ! Honda gold wing is too much money atfer looking around for my first bike I’ll start out use on first !
What happening bro. Glad to see you checking out the can am I recently bought a 2017 last year. Left over with 1 mile on it. It's a rt ltd. Real smooth. So I was wondering weather or not you worked on it or took it to the shop for service. It you are performing your own service, what jack are you using. I'm assuming that you have a spyder of course.
They are nice .. I feel they shine for 2 up riding .. Also they shine at luggage capacity, they are hard to beat. A trip from ny to Cali .. I'd love to have this .. Everyday riding ... No way .. I rate them high if looking for a touring 2 up bike.
Lots of comfort on this Spyder! How much do these typically run for? I didn't realize that you still lean while riding this, just like on a motorcycle. Nice that it has cruise control. I'm the same...I like just about all bikes. I've even thought about getting a little Honda Rebel; that's what I learned on in my basic riding course. haha! I'm like a "fat kid in an all-you-can-eat buffet" Nice review!
+WheelsNotHeels Thanks Wheels, a new Spyder RT Limited retails around 32K. In a curb its good to lean towards the turn, it a smooth easy to ride fun machine, I prefer the GW over the Spyder, but it's a fun trike to have.
+bob barretto Yes Bob, to shift gears on the Spyder you just press a button when you're ready to change gears, you don't have to even let off the throttle. When let off the throttle, it down shift automatically by itself. Their is a downshift button, but you really don't have to use it.
how is it as far as shifting? I have a 2016 RT Limited an the shifting is real rough. It is loud and jerky and feels like its falling through the floor until around 4th going into 5th it smooth's out. but getting into 1,2,3 and into 4th is a loud CLANK and jerk of the bike and rough shift
So how would you rate the comfort level between your wing and the spyder? Also, what's the MPG on the spyder? Curious if you have to fill up more often.
+Scat I rather ride a Goldwing, but the Spyder is nice too don't get me wrong, riding 3 wheels are not the same as two. I believe the MPG on both the same around 40mpg.
+parishm The Goldwing is the Flagship of motorcycles, a Spyder is not a motorcycle, 3 wheels is not the same ride as 2 wheels, but the Spyder is a very good ride.
It's not a motor cycle it's a motor tricycle. The main point of owning a motor cycle is so you can filter and not be stuck in traffic jams, so why would someone pay 32K to be stuck in traffic jams?
+beebeer54 Good point, I also prefer two wheels, two wheels are not the same as three wheels, but having 3 wheels does have some advantages, bike doesn't require balancing, easy to carry a passenger, and semi-automatic transmission. Ride whats best for you, just remember, it doesn't matter what you ride, as long as your riding.
+beebeer54 It has a motor and is a tricycle so it is a motorcycle simply meaning motorized cycle what it is not is a motorbike bike being short for bicycle. Not everyone lives in an area with heavy traffic and use whatever they have to enjoy the open road so if they like it then good for them. I prefer more traditional cycles myself.
Better than a goldwing to me. I’ve had both. Loving my Spyder

+Piney Winston Thanks Piney, Harley's are great too, I've never been to california other than LAX. Ride safe out in Cali, thanks for the referral.
San Diego, Man.... Take that Goldwing there! She'll appreciate it! I rented a Goldwing in CA, it was White and people thought I was the police! They were moving over for me in Death Valley!! :D
Way to go...
Thanks, Chris... I signed up for a class for next month

+Daryl Winn Are you in the market to buy a Spyder anytime soon? what State do you live in?
Thanks for the video Chris. I did a demo on a Spyder about 2 years ago. Decent ride and power but price is just too much. Can't justify it. I'm riding a MP3 500 now which is a trike as well. I'm like you in that I love all motorcycles. Have fun and be safe out there.

Thanks Chris!! Just what I was looking for. But I still need to know how you link your set up to the other guys you ride with....
+Big Boi We use Sena bluetooth wireless headsets in intercom mode.
I got a 2015 spyder rt limited looks just like the bike you are riding same color. Exact same bike
Chris thanks for your review. I enjoy your videos
+Mark Williams Thanks for watching my vids.
+Mark Williams Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Thanks Chris for your honest assessment of the Spyder, I seriously want one & looking to get one soon.
+Nsureu hamp For a trike, the Can Am Spyder is an excellent choice. Do you prefer 3 wheels machine or 2 wheels?
Chris Caliente , I've tested the 3 wheel, I think I like the it, my wife would rather I get the Spyder cause she won't ride a 2 wheel. So it looks like 3 wheels for us.
The Spyder is an excellent choice, you won't be disappointed.

+Nsureu hamp its for sale now!
I have a feeling that you’re near my home of Memphis.
Your videos are very informative and they give the viewer a sense of what it is like to ride a motorcycle could you do a video on maybe a long road trip talking about the positives and the negatives, by the way through your videos I am now seeking to purchase a Goldwing. thanks.
+annointed10 Thanks, I will see what I can do.

+Big Boi Just watch my video th-cam.com/video/eqHi4ELSmT0/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, I'm thinking of buying one. I have never rode a bike. Nice review.
+Tom Stanley Test ride one at your local dealer before buying.
Hey chris this is my dream bike I never rode bike before ! Honda gold wing is too much money atfer looking around for my first bike I’ll start out use on first !
Lovin this Chris. My next touring bike lol. Love my 2015 Honda Shadow Phantom but for those touring rides. It can be rough.
+Chue's Bike VLOGS Thanks for checking out my vids.
What happening bro. Glad to see you checking out the can am

dbest1a Vlogs Two up riding handles flawlessly, it even surprised me how well it handles, it's very rider friendly.
I remember Shawn Smoak saying that even if you managed to get it sideways .. and you came off the can am technology would straighten itself out ...
The can am has does have traction control, I believe that a goldwing trike doesn't.
Hey Chris what GPS comes with the bike, I see you have it with the cover on
Great Video! I will Now "Pull The Trigger" and buy one.
Lots of comfort on this Spyder!
How much do these typically run for?
I didn't realize that you still lean while riding this, just like on a motorcycle.
Nice that it has cruise control.

Chris the can am looks great. I didn't see a clutch... So shifting up or down is simply pushing the buttons?
+bob barretto Yes Bob, to shift gears on the Spyder you just press a button when you're ready to change gears, you don't have to even let off the throttle. When let off the throttle, it down shift automatically by itself. Their is a downshift button, but you really don't have to use it.
Great video Chris. I will be getting mine soon. I'm undecided about color, White or Red. Thanks
+kbowiing58 Are you a new rider? will you be buying a Spyder or a Goldwing?
Hey Chris, no, not a new ride, but will get the Can Am.
ok cool, good choice.
how is it as far as shifting? I have a 2016 RT Limited an the shifting is real rough. It is loud and jerky and feels like its falling through the floor until around 4th going into 5th it smooth's out. but getting into 1,2,3 and into 4th is a loud CLANK and jerk of the bike and rough shift

My wife and I ride a Harley Electra Glide Classic. Thinking of maybe buying a RT Spyder. Any suggestions?
+Steven Wilcox I would go to your local Can Am dealership and ask for a test drive to get a feel of it.
OK thanks Chris
+Big Boi Your welcome.
Can you pull a motorcycle camping tent or utility trailer with behind the spyder?
+david rudd Yes, lots of Spyders have pull behind trailers.
What HJC helmet do you have on ? The RED one. I hope to be getting a RTS in a few weeks.

U know, u know...
why do you keep saying "it's not a Goldwing" ? what's so special about a Goldwing, what does it do that the Spyder can't ?
+parishm The Goldwing is the Flagship of motorcycles, a Spyder is not a motorcycle, 3 wheels is not the same ride as 2 wheels, but the Spyder is a very good ride.

+ct gaming Thanks young man for the compliments.
