This is the Can-Am Spyder RT Limited, a three-wheeled motorcycle built by BRP, a company very well known for the Spyder plus snowmobiles and jet skis. This Canadian company has been building the Spyder for 13 years and is a remarkably successful product for those looking for the open-air experience a motorcycle provided with an added safety net of two front wheels. The Spyder is built to accommodate a rider and a passenger with superb comfort and lots of standard technology. So is it any good? Let's find out! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

As someone who's a disabled war vet, TheDriveGuyde I have to disagree with your assertion that the Can-Am Spyder isn't something that a rider could fall in love with. I used to enjoy my two wheeled motorcycles (sport and chopper), but those days are long gone thanks to an insurgents five bullets. I'm very grateful that Can-Am, Polaris, and a handful of other companies decided to create this segment. This gives disabled people like myself and able-bodied senior citizens the opportunity to fill the air rush past them, but in a safe and secure manner.
Thank you for your feedback, this is something I will consider in future reviews
Thank you for your service!
@@toddboyce8678 thank you!
@@Videollusions thank you, brother.
Owner of a '22 RTL. Rode from AL to Colorado and back. I absolutely love this machine.
The 3400 km tour I took this summer afforded me many more memorable views of the scenery than I would get on my 2 wheeler, simply because I could afford to look around without worrying about the demands of controlling a 2 wheeler. So for touring, no more 2 wheeler, I'll be riding my 'toaster' while 'burning' a path to riding bliss!
something I couldn't do on my 2008 HD Roadglide
You haven’t met to me spyder owners we all fell in love with ours
I'me afraid that you still have a 2 wheeled approach to gear shifting, the Spyder does not need you to close then open the throttle when changing gear. Just keep the throttle at the same position then press the paddle and the bike will do all the adkustment for you and do a smooth change. There can be a bit of a clunk at low speed and gears but it's very smooth beyond second gear. Also as far as starting it will always be in neutral after startup regardless of which gear you left it in, just remember to use the brake when starting and changing into first.
As far as keyless starting goes this is the best thing for professional bike thieves, just needs a receiver to pick up the signal they can take the bike anytime. I'll stick to the key which uses a low range security signal to allow the bike to recognise it, safer than the keyless, they may be able to pick up the signal but useless without the key. New keys must be programmed into the system by the dealer. Central locking for the various panniers etc would be useful but not always needed, I generally only need to open one at any time.
I don't see why you would want a Harly trike, less stable and less reliable, new ones having major brake problems causing serious accidents.
I probably do more riding longer distances now than on my BMW K1600GT so it is a bike for fun. My plan for next year is a 3000 + mile trip involving touring the alps.
Your comments on the Can-Am Spyder are spot on. Although I feel the HD Tri-Glide fit and finish (paint) is superior, the ride of the Spyder with the stock suspension, blows the Tri-Glide out of the water! Cheers, Safe Travels. 🙂 🏍
I'm not disabled, other than being 68 years old, but give me this over a Honda VTX 1800 every time for two up riding. It seems to me to be much safer with the three wheels, the no heat coming up from the engine, & the ride is very smooth. My wife feels safe on it and the ride is less tedious. These bikes aren't the head turners of a beautiful twin cylinder bike, but they are a great alternative to not riding. Plus the thought of disabled vets being able to ride is in itself enough reason to manufacture these bikes.
I got one 4 days ago the more I ride the more I'm in love
I have bn riding a Spyder for almost 4 yes. I absolutely love it. I am female ,wouldn't have anything else. Jb.
I purchased one in January of this year and absolutely love it. Zero regrets.
I’ve never ridden a motorcycle in my life. How long did it take you to get completely comfortable with driving your Spyder? These look like so much fun.
The Spyder is meant to be shifted up without rolling off the throttle. From first to second it has a bit of a lag on the Australian version, but the remaining shifting is very smooth.
From what I have heard, I think you are wrong about people not falling in love with them. It's not a utility vehicle.
Braveheart you are so right man I love my spider rt limited. This guy doesn't speak for me. In my first six months, I put seven thousand miles on my spyder. With my wife right on the back. I can't get rid of her😳I have ridden a motorcycle all my life. This is a wonderful change for me. I don't know what this guy means by a tool. Personally myself I will not buy another motorcycle. Once you get a spyder you can't do a couple of trips on it and make a proper assessment of it. you have to ride enough to understand it, and be comfortable on it. If you do you are going to fall in love with it. You might even want to put a ring on it. 😂😂
I'm lost, a tool! Looks like fun to me.
I have that exact bike - I'm in love!
Idem !
Can't be true... he said folks will not fall in love with it... it's just a toaster. ;)
In all seriousness when he got to that part I just rolled my eyes.
I Love My Can-Am 2021 SPYDER RTL Super-Trike Chrome Edition! Thanks For Your Review! Good Job!
Just bought a Spyder RT Ltd in Scotland. Love my Spyder and great for non confident two wheelers. I watched this video so many times before purchasing and it was a great and honest help. Thank you.
Great information on the new Can Am Spyders that others haven’t touched on. New subscriber to your channel because you are thorough and you get to the point without wasting time. I think most of your points are well taken.
Perhaps one opinion you shared may differ from your audience. You say this machine feels like a tool and compared it to a utility such as a toaster in the sense that no matter what a toaster does it just cooks toast. This is saying that the Can Am isn’t exciting. Like yourself, I sorta know what you’re saying because I compared it like riding an atv. But like yourself, after riding all kinds of motorcycles you cannot compare it too that. Motorcycles have the lean, the clutching, just an overall different feel so in that sense yes, the Can Am is less stimulating. But after obtaining my first Can Am, I found that it’s a different kind of experience and excitement. Now people have a true better experience towing in far more safety, having people see your wide stance and the wider frame of your lights with the motoring public ‘seeing you.’ The excitement comes in the form of enjoyment of the ride because you have far more stability and safety that makes you pay more attention to your surroundings (both machine and the great outdoors). When I am on the two wheeled motorcycle, I am constantly looking much harder for road kill, pot holes, loose gravel, highway debri that takes away from the full enjoyment of the motorcycle ride. While I still look for these same road obstructions with three wheels, there is definitely more forgiveness with some of those things mentioned. I seem to enjoy the riding experience more because I am simply more relaxed but not complacent. Hopefully this makes sense. It’s hard to explain for me telling others this experience.
Anyways, keep up the great work on your channel and look forward to more of your content.
Very nice 😎 Thanks for sharing your experiences!
can't wait to get a can am down the road when i'm older. for now my body is holding up on my light sport bike with 74mpg....
I sat on a can am limited at the dealership and holy cow did that feel like sitting on clouds.
Can-am spyders are incredible machines. Definitely for those who don't want to worry about clutch and balance and downshifting anymore.
The top Box can fit Two Full size Helmets it can also be removed for a sleeker look . As for compering it to a toaster MATE really I have a 2014 RTS a 2018 F3S and a 2020 RT Limited these bikes are cursers made for comfort and as for comfort the 2020 with Heated seats and hand grips (Front and rear) an on the fly adjustable front screen 6 speaker stereo 6 speed semi auto this is an AWSOME ride I have done rides as long as 700+ km in a day and still felt grate (I'm in my mid 50's) 0 to 100kmh in just over 4 seconds its no slouch can do an easy 175 kmh It shows in Your video the lack of research you have done around this vehicle and to make a poor revue and opinion after riding it for 1 day is beyond a JOKE ! I have had them in the Rain High winds even light snow and would be safer than Most !
Is it automatic transmission or there only in manual transmission????
@@muwongeedrine semi Auto "like tiptronic"
I have thought about buying a Harley Davidson wide glide. From my research this bike is far more dependable and has longevity with good maintenance.
Just put a down payment on a 21 RTL. Can’t wait to get it.
Me too, pick mine up on the 14th. Enjoy
@@jerrys5946 mine too. Pick it up tomorrow!
@@jerrys5946 Awesome Your going to love it !
I ride my spyder fifty feet to my mailbox.😂ride it long enough to get familiar to it. it will become a whole new enjoyable experience for you trust me. I have the 2020 rt limited.
Excellent review. I especially liked your critique of the RT being a tool and not a toy. That’s specifically the reason I am buying one. It will be our second car. In my estimation the Spyder is the safest open air vehicle in the world. I would be buying it to travel from one city to another for my business. So it will definitely be a business expense. Once again, excellent review.
best drinkning game, take a shot everytime he say's "product" You'll be knackered in about 30 seconds! LOL. Great video.
We test drove a Spyder several years ago before they had power steerimg and we didn't like the way it jerked from side to side with the least amount of imput, I tried to keep it straight but it was very jerky? Has the power steering improved that problem?
My other question is about the ride for the passenger. We are on our second HD Tri-Glide and the ride input from the large rear wheels are very hash. I installed a pair of progressive shocks and only run 20 psi in the rear tires but when you hit a bump, like an expansion joint, or a pot hole the ride is terrible. Going down a perfect road is great, but there are not too many roads that are perfect, if you know what I mean? How smooth is the ride from the passenger seat? I would hope it is better, a LOT better than a HD Tri-Glide. It rhe steering has improved and the passenger ride is smoother, a Can Am Spyder RT Limited might be my next motorcycle.
Thank you! I prefer function over form!
Thank you, you were very informative. I'm in the market for a three wheel...Can Am or Harley.
I LOVE my Spyder RTL! My toaster, not so much😉
At age 84 I can ride with my son who is 30 year younger and my grandson-in-law who is 60 years younger. I couldn't do that with a thousand pound 2-wheeler.
Wow, I'm 79 in September, have been riding since 1963, Have a 1600 Nomad, Been Looking, I seriously want one of these. Been watching many videos here and got it down to a couple of colors and yes, it will be a Spyder Rt Limited, Has to be a used one for the price point, but hopefully in the weeks ahead I will be able to find one.
The idea of being able to enjoy riding again with all the safety and just the feel of real enjoyment without the Two Wheel stuff is a game changer for me. So looking forward to having one.
PS: we are the same height 6' 3" 235 lbs. The bike fits, and you have room for all your gear, oh, I could sell these for all the research I've put into Can-Am.
Great review, thank you for sharing 🙂👍. Precisely what I'm afraid of: enjoying the ride, but not passionate about the machine. Guess a test drive's in order. Thanks again.
Will it flip over when braking hard
Great video of the windshield.
Shift above 3000rpm helps stop the jerkiness as well
In New Zealand its classed as a Roadster (no need for a Bike licence)
Do you think the Spyder RT has good enough build quality that I could put 300,000 - 500,000km on one without multiple things breaking?
I currently have a Honda Goldwing with 250,000km, it rides like a new bike and has never broken down. Have only needed tires, oil and Spark plugs.
If you keep up with the maintenance you can get plenty of miles out of it
That's a miracle bike cars are not that trouble free.
What a great bike. Does it have Bluetooth for listening to my music?
Yes it does
You mentioned the trike as a tool. Do you have to be a tool to ride one?
Subscribing today
I think it's great they are building bikes for those with special needs
Does it have stereo speakers music.
Hello
In August I will be traveling to Pennsylvania from Florida it will be interesting to have a another route, Route 99 sounded like an interesting
Could you send me your route?
Great bike
It sounds like it's the Toyota of the 3 wheel motorcycle. An appliance to get you from A to B with no drama?
I bought a Sea to Sky. I taught my wife to ride it around in a big parking lot. She said it's like a big riding mower. What an ego pop!
@@borntobewild846 😂🙌🏽👍🏾
I have to hit m button before starting each time before it will start on my older model
I was with you until you said most won't fall in love with it and it was more like a tool than..... and you compared it to a toaster..... no. Sorry. LOL I have always likened these vehicles to be like a snowmobile with wheels. And plenty of folks simply love snowmobiles. ;)
We had to go to three wheels a few years back after my wife's cancer in her brain caused her to have seizures. Our thought was if she had a seizure on a two wheeled motorcycle it might cause an accident injuring both of us and possibly others. Whereas on a three wheeled machine I think I should be able to pull over and tend to her needs without harm to anyone. She has battled cancer eight times.
We chose the Harley Tri-Glide and put on 20,000 miles the first year. We are on our second Tri-Glide now and put on just a little over 10,000 last year. But our next will be a Can Am. Either the Spyder RT Limitied or the F3 Limited. I haven't made up my mind yet. It just seems to me the Can AMs are more refined than ANY Harley. I think the Spyder RT is the Ultimate touring machine for those who love motorcycles.
Make it 20 more horsepower, add a turbo and shaft drive. :)
Shaft drive should be considered. Can Am continues to be plagued with belt/alignment problems. Get rid of belt drive and you will have me as a new customer. I'm 6'4" as well. I ride a goldwing with a slight mod on the seat raising it three inches cutting it back 4 inches. Which does not leave much room for the passenger. Which can am has. That said. My next bike will be the BMW grand America. No seat mod required because the bike seat has the room for two. The new Goldwing does not work for bigger/taller individual. The bike is a lot smaller.
I agree about the shaft drive. Along with that Can Am should have detachable saddle bags like BMW had. Had them on my BMW R100/7 that looked like suit cases. Really handy to take off and held alot of stuff.
Quick fix call Lamonster garage have fix for belt vibration. Spyder set up right I burn rubber and no fear in curves. Upgraded sispension, Cat. dele pipe. Now she rocks you just don't know how to set 1 up.
Spyder RT should be a shaft drive, 100% reliable drivetrain.
Ditch the belt Can Am !!!
30,000 Km here never a problem with the belt Maybe you were unlucky or something.
Try a F3S with uprated shocks , swaybar a RLS Punisher exhaust and a mild stage 1 remap..
Grin
From ear...
To ear...
RT's are rather slow and sluggish , cause you know, its a fat, well equipped tourer with auto leveling suspension?!
This aint...
They go up to 200 mph and can beat almost 99% of the cars on the roads. Slow and sluggish 🤣
@@BlakWiseCracker He just dont know.
Harley-Davidson tricycle. Less storage. $18,000 more. Plus a questionable engine.
Your rite, Harley is also very expensive to buy. Rotax makes motors for small airplanes to they have to be reliable. Don’t want any engine trouble at X thousand feet! 😳
Thanks for your comment. This video and many comments from former Harley Davidson owners has made me forget the Harley and look at the Can AM. I am interested.
Car license only required in New Zealand
try shifting at 300rpm. very smooth shifting
Сколько стоит такой спайлер?
You will fall in love more so then ANY toy you have ever been on and I have had them all. So calling it a toaster is idiotic to say the least
The salesmen, both of them, didn't even know that it has power steering. I wasn't permitted to test drive one or trade in my motorcycle. Look up problems with the Spyder before buying one and make sure that your dealership is knowledgeable and dedicated to the product. I didn't buy one for those reasons and I would advise anyone else to research all of this before buying one.
find another dealer.
@@tonyrowland9216 We only have one basic dealer, 2 locations, in the Tucson area so service and warranty work is questionable. Phoenix has the same dealer and the same policy. I have a place in Indiana and the dealer there has invited me for a test drive. I'm going to take them up on it. I see virtually none of them on the road in Arizona. There's probably a reason.
I love my toaster what do you know😅
Yes, Butter or Jam, It's all in the Ride...😇
You shouldn't be reviewing the spyder, you have no clue what the hell you are talking about. You have nothing to compare it to and you have no experience , at least 500 miles driving time, to rate it.
Any true Spyder rider will have nothing but smiles and a positive attitude about the Spyder and that's where it's at.
Take you review and stuff it.
😂🙌🏽
NO NAVIGATION GPS...FOR THIS PRICE...OVERPRICED 😊😊😊
The worst thing I ever bought and used. I've had an accident. Fallen over 37feet over another call. Bleeding inside my head comma, had to cut my skull bones, seizure...few months later another seizure attack left me paralyzed, have had cranioplasty surgery...still recovering from paralyzed... thanks God i was partially paralyzed. Wife stolen all my bank balance business as well properties luckily parents took care of me. I've had good health insurance. My car was paid off my wife left it as its not drivable conditions
Sounds like a BS story.
Well, You should have got back on the Spyder... You would be well now, and loving every moment of life,,, sounds like you lost your dreams guy... "Change your Attitude, Change your Life." time for some new dreams and new living of life.
Not correct that you need a motorcycle license to ride this in Ontario. A G licence is enough
Has no idea what he is talking about. Shame. Please stick to cars.
A toaster? Seriously.
The design is so ugly, the gas milleage is very bad, it just a proof of how the engine is not performing well, this engine is known for burning a lot of oil, there nothing of high quality on these thing.
The old 998 did drink oil. The 1330 does not.
I’ll bet you’re the life of any party. I’d wager that you get on every motorcycle review and post what total shit whatever bike that’s being reviewed is.
