I ride a 2018 F3 Limited. She's a head-turner for sure. Dollar for dollar, feature for feature, you'll be hard pressed to find another ride that compares to the F3 Limited. What comes standard is Bluetooth, AM/FM radio, forward and rear facing speakers, 4 large hard storage compartments/saddlebags, 1 smaller dash compartment, heated rider and passenger handgrips, floorboards for rider (adjustable) and passenger, cruise control, semi-automatic, reverse gear, reversing cooling fan and a windscreen. It handles corners, bumps in the road, pot holes, railroad tracks, sand, gravel, fallen anything like a boss. Back tire is car sized. First service at 3,000 miles. I ride positioned upright and it's as smooth as my Cadillac SRX.
Sure I get flak from the 2 wheel riders from time to time but here's what I don't worry about with my Spyder. It's never randomly fallen over. I've never accidently dropped it. It's never tipped over in a sharp fast corner. I don't have to balance it at long red lights. No lava hot engine heat blowing out on to my right ankle like some bikes/trikes. I don't have to push it/walk it to back it out of anywhere. No kickstand, side or otherwise. No clutch. I don't have to figure out where the friction zone is. I don't have to ride wearing a backpack for those things I'm carrying.
If I were to (gasp) break an appendage, develop arthritis, tendonitis, lose muscle strength or any physical ailment the Spyder will carry me through so I wouldn't need to consider giving it up. Can't say that about too many other bikes or trikes out there.
What Can Am has done is capture a market that was overlooked - and dare say shunned - by the other guys and their stick-to-it-ness about the aging and outdated belief of the allure and mystique of what the vision of the freedom of riding is.
Move over Easy Rider, there's a newer ride rolling in to town.

I know this is an old video but I just hit a deer at 55 mph and totaled my Victory Vision. My wife and I are very blessed to walk away from this accident with some road rash and I broke 3 ribs. I rode 45 years with no incident but this spooked me! I’m turning my attention to purchasing a Spyder. Thx for all your reviews!!!!
Did you end up getting one? I got spooked on my Harley (and I'm getting older and having some knee problems) and switched to an F3. I've ridden the Harley trikes and they are downright scary in the curves.
So are you thinking the Spyder would have superior emergency handling/braking vs the bike? You're of course still just as exposed with no cage around you or seat belt or airbag so that must be it. I've been spooked by deer too but managed to avoid them without crashing, thankfully but someday I'll be on a Spyder F3 though don't like the looks of the new touring ones even if they are better than the old ones.
BRP Cam Am, has Sold over 100,000 Spyders since it's introduction just 10 years ago. I'm sure, there's a lot less Spyder riders injured then motorcycle riders. So shut up already, get over yourselves. It doesn't matter which Magic Carpet you ride, as long as you get the magical experience. Thanks for the ride along. Stay Alert. Ride Safe, in a fun way. Thanks for sharing. 😎.
Just bought a 2020 so my wife and I can ride together, she has vertigo and she can ride these!!
With the aging biker population (like me) you are going to see more, and more of these on the road. Great alternative to a 2 wheeled bike. The Yamaha Niken with two front wheels really blurs the conversation on whether three wheels is a "bike".
I ride a 2019 Ryker 900. That thing is fun. I’ve always been iffy about the Spyder, especially after riding a friend’s. But after riding the Ryker ... I was hooked. It has a completely different, more sport bike like feel.
I have been trying to decide between a ryker rally and spyder f3s. You really think the ryker is more fun and more like a sportsbike than a spyder?
Just got a new spyder f3 2018 love it
Spyder are not made or owned by Polaris. They are owned by the Canadian Company "Bombadier Recreational Products," or BRP. Yes Rotax built in Austria but it still belongs to BRP.
I've wanted one since I found out they existed grew up riding four wheelers
same, got one this year, very fun!
Nice review😊
This week my husband purchased two brand new 2021 Can-Am F3’s one for him and one for me. We are new to bike riding. Have to get our permits and license. We can wait. We pick them up tomorrow; of course I’m not driving it home. Can’t wait
It blows me mind how narrow minded people are about this Can-Am.
WoodyOn2Wheels My 2018 F3S arrives Saturday. Can't freekin wait. Now I can ride pretty much all year long. My VTX 1800 goes in storage come winter, my Spyder carries on. I'm getting my balls busted bad all ready for getting one, too bad.
Munkee Nevah Rong people are ignorant
But narrow minded people like me who are smart enough that I will buy a fully loaded 2018 F3 Limted anyway.
Richard Joash Tan what?
Narrow-minded are those who believe that only people who drive two-wheeled motorcycles are real bikers. We are in the 21st century and many new types of vehicles are emerging and the Spyder is one of them, as there are three-wheeled cars and we still call it a car! I had motorcycles ... five to be exact and two Spyder, that last one a F3S that I just bought, why I appreciate this type of vehicle ... for its security, it is much safer than a two wheels motorcycle without depriving the feeling of freedom that gives us the driving of a two-wheeled or three wheels vehicle without cockpit ... hair in the wind like they say... come an age where wisdom catches us! ;)
Ryker got me back in the game as an older rider.
My dad has one im 33 and I have a bad back now and I love his im gonna buy a f3 this year I've only ridden dirt bikes never had a road bike his is a 2010 so fun
i love you videos very informational
Jay Sean love your videos. I'm coming off a Honda Fury I never test Road an F3 will I be disappointed if I trade in my bike for an F3? The reason why I'm asking New Jersey don't allow test riding. Bottom line is a faster than a fury? LOL
Love my 2016 limited triple black!!
Got one as well an F3. Cheers
Wife wanted one-I figured “why not?” & added it to the stable. Took a ride and was HOOKED. Instantly. So we added ANOTHER to the stable. (HAD to have one!) Best of both worlds now-two wheels when I feel like it, Three wheels when I don’t. No regrets!
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you add the saddle for another person on the back?
How much does it cost
was looking into Honda GW but concerned with weight, hip surgery and stability looks like CanAM is the choice! thanks for the great review
"You got buy a canam!" Always fun to listen and watch. Have a glorious day!
The shaded windshield is dangerous
Seriously? Or did you mean, dangerously good looking? :D
Amen,,now how much for the f3 love the sheild
Is this safer than a quad/4 wheeler ??
I bought one and I love it!! It’s not about me getting old, and I’ve rode motorcycles for years!!! But in today’s time in the cell phone age idiots are constantly on their cellphones and not paying attention, and this is a much safer way to go plus they look great and are a lot of fun! So for all of you bitching and criticizing people who want them, and voicing your little sideways comments about how it’s not a motorcycle look up the statistics and see who’s getting pealed off of the street more! Shit I saw a buddy of mine who had been riding for years make a simple error and dropped his bike right in front of me while starting to pull of luckily the only that was hurt was his pride! But I bet nobody has dropped a Can am!
When I can no longer safely ride a motorcycle I'll be getting one of these.
By the definition of the word the Can-am is a motorcycle. It is a tricycle with a motor therefore it IS a motorcycle. The only difference is that it's not a bike but a trike. Simple really.
The Old Magpie+ That is the best answer I seen so far. Its a motorcycle trike! Like you said , simple.
Exactly .. same as a honda goldwing.. but they have 2 wheels in the back and 1 in the front.. So question to can am haters.... Do you consider a honda goldwing a motorcycle rather a can am? I'll wait...
I prefer two wheels but these would probably be great for touring!
New Subscriber
More people should focus on what it is rather than what it isn't. Looks to me some people in the comments section are insecure about a perceived threat to motorcycles in general. If somebody wants a motorcycle they'll buy a motorcycle, simple as that. If HD made this vehicle (no fear about that, it's not in their capabilities anyway) it would be the best thing ever, it's not, get over it. Lots of Americans probably look down on this fun vehicle as it's made and designed in Europe.
grandpa5x Pulliam ha ha, silly me lol. I'm maybe confusing it with the similar European built machine. At least the Canadian built vehicle should be good in the snow.
Yup in Canada we call it a snowmobile on wheels
Strange, my 19 Outlander was made in Mexico.
nice review but the the 55 in a 35 was a little over the top. :)
I like 2 wheels 3 wheels &4wheels . If it’s fun do it .
I grew up ridding all kinds of 2 wheel bikes. iAd a major stroke about 5 years ago that robbed me of my balance. Everything else returned but my balance never returned. This would get me back in the open wind!! Wife and I put thousands of miles on my 1997 Valkyrie so this could be a great Solution to my balance issue!
Update got a 2021 F-3S 2 years ago. It’s my 2nd season this year! 2023 Love my Spyder F-3S.
I’m just about ready to make the plunge! Has anyone ever Turbocharged one of these?!
They are not a Polaris product..Its BRP product!
At the 5:00 mark you say it's a Polaris product and that there are Polaris dealers all over the country......but Can-Am is a BRP or Bombardier Recreational Products product or at least it originally was.
ive road bikes all my life now my left leg n foot are messed up n balance is off so im buying a new f3 just so im still able to ride
I really want one I do but I need to do my CBT
My Dad needs one. He struggles with two wheels because of hip issues.
That's exactly why I just sold my 2 wheeler and going to 3
When you get old they are great 72 and riding one!
Rotax used to make the Buel engines, did not they?
Yes for the 1125CR, and now for the1190 EBR models.
Your dark windshield is hard too hard to see through. Bought a Ryker. Rough riding. Planning on trading for an F-3. I have a Harley Trike , Hate all the foot and clutch rhythm shifting.
What I really hate is TH-cam videos like this one, that have the voice at a normal level then 30 seconds into the video blow you away and destroy your speakers with "music" that is two or three times (or more) the level of the voice track. After that... I just stop watching.
lmao ty for your 2 cents! idk how many ppl say that about a lot of videos where the music blast at some point for entertainment purposes for like a minute while they are not saying anything importtant... ty
I've never rode one, but I imagine they must handle a lot like a quad. Correct, or no?
From what I've heard yes
yes a quad on the road lol
I just don't understand why people would say it's not a motorcycle it's not a car it's not a truck you sit on it like a motorcycle it sounds like a motorcycle it's a bike is it does it have a motor then I guess it's a motorcycle people are ridiculous LOL shaking my head it's just not a street bike or a cruiser but it's a bike
Alphonso Ruffin you sit on it like a motorcycle but you steer it like a car and it uses car tires and its an automatic
Yeah but it is still a bike it's for people that can't handle a street bike or a cruiser yet it's still have enough speed to keep up I'm not even going to lie I didn't want to say this because they'll already Skyrocket price but it's the perfect wife get on a bike and ride with me I ride my bike you can ride it if she fall off that damn bike then she shouldn't be on a bicycle LOL
It's what it is. Doesn't need to be a car or motorcycle. It looks fun.
The word bike means 2 wheels, its a trike.
It has way more in common with an ATV than a motorcycle. Is an ATV a motorcycle?
The Rotax engines are used in aircraft. The engines must be reliable for aircraft use. In the United States the engines are certified by the FAA. These engines have proven their reliability.
A Rotax engine was in my 2007 BMW F650GS Motorcycle. no problems. bulletproof.
I really appreciate your reviews, very informative, but most of all. I love you lead of with scripture before each ride. Safety is in the Lord, stay blessed, stay safe, and keep doing what you do.
People say these aren’t motorcycle’s but yet they accept the Yamaha Niken 🤨 make it make sense people. I don’t care, what y’all say, I love both styles.
I don't see them as motorcycles and wouldn't want one, but I can see their usefulness for people that are getting pretty old or for whatever reason have a difficult time with balancing a bike. Better for them to ride a Spyder than not at all. They are more like a bike than the Polaris Slingshot. Those things have a steering wheel, gas pedal, brake pedal, bucket seats, including a passenger seat to the side of the driver. Slingshot is not even remotely a bike, at least the Spyder is closer to just being a reverse trike.
Maybe they're fun to ride and you don't have to be decrepit to ride one.
I bought a 2017 f3 Daytona edition and I Ride a Rocket 3 Roadster so its not just for ppl who are old or have balancing issues! I did a demo ride and got hooked!
I might get one because of all the idiots in their cars. When we ride the bike somewhere its like I can't actually see the scenery because I have to focus on the bike and the other traffic. Might be a little more relaxed where you can actually see the awesome places rather than concentrate on handling 1200 lbs. with both of us on it.
I can never decide whether to wave at those things or not. I draw the line at the Slingshot though. Damn things got a freaking steeringwheel!
I agree... the Slingshot feels like a car/dune buggy... you are sitting in it, not on top like a Can Am or motorcycle. I tend to wave at the Can Am's ... I never see a Slingshot around.
Garth Howe
We have plenty of Slingshots Miatas and even Mustang/ Challenger gangs here. Nice hilly roads.
I wave at 2 wheels, 3 wheels and most convertable cars :).
Paula Storlie
It never hurts to be nice.
Got an F3, go ahead an wave, I wave to any/all people on motorcycles. Yes, you do need to have a motorcycle license in many/most states so if they consider them a motorcycle-----------------------
But....
Will it wheelie?
If you care about doing wheelies get 2 wheels, for those that don't consider a Spyder or traditional trike.
AMEN!
nice job!
Awesome machine. Perfect for folks with knee problems.
If only Polaris, could dial down the amount of plastic, look towards a more vintage look, maybe a little ratted out, wire spoke wheels, and a lot more chrome. Right now, they always remind me of a collection of lunch boxes on wheels.
Take a leap of faith..
What on the Slingshot?. Can Am Spyder is BRP, nothing to do with Polaris Industries.
Don’t judge people on what they ride. Some folks like Harley’s but don’t have $15,000 plus. Others like metric bikes. I’ve ridden (motor) bikes since I was 11. I was injured in the war and was medically retired after 25 years on 100% combat related VA disability. I ride my Spyder because after 35 years of 2 wheeling, it was very difficult for me, i.e. not enjoyable, to ride any longer. Now I can again. I had a buddy come around a curve on his DynaLow, hit an oil slick, and slide into oncoming traffic. He was badly injured, but recovered. However, even though he physically could, after 20 plus years of riding he mentally no longer felt safe on 2 wheels. He got a trike and rides again and enjoys it. After my first tour in Iraq, I came home and bought a new motorcycle to replace my FXR. I got a brand new VROD, cause I thought they were cool regardless of everybody else. My dad told me it wasn’t a real Harley, cause real Harley’s don’t have radiators. My grandpa asked dad if he remembered the Wide Glide he bought back in 88’. Dad said he did. He asked if he remembered what he told him. Dad thought and replied, “You said it wasn’t a real Harley cause real Harleys have kick starts.” Grandpa put out his cigarette and walked back in the house. Dad never said anything after that. I guess my point is, they are all bikes. 2 or 3 wheels, it doesn’t matter. As long as you sit ON them and not IN them, who cares.
Is a Harley Davidson trike a motorcycle? Three wheels! Can am Spyder needs a motorcycle license in most states so it’s a motorcycle.
At 5:00 you say it is a "Polaris product" BRP is Canadian, Ski- Doo, Can-Am, Sea- Doo Evinrude,Rotax , Spyder etc.. Great channel keep up with the words of wisdom
NOT Polaris!!!!!
+John Cantelon sorry that was a slip up
BRP is SkiDoo / Johnson Evinrude
and SeaDoo
If HD made this vehicle it would be the best thing ever, it's not (a HD), get over it.
If Spyders were made by HD they would double in cost and fail to leave dealer parking lots on test rides---------
Thank you for the Bible verse.
It's not a motorcycle if its automatic. :-( I had the 2010 Spyder. It was great, but no way to automatic!
Brp isn't Polaris. It's like skipoop snowmobile
+Sasha Shpiruk yes I’m sorry you are right
Love to start with bible verses. That's awesome AND you do great reveiws to boot.
Thanks
It is a motorcycle, what it isn't is a bike.
Thanks for the scripture.
Put a 1500cc to 2000cc motor in one and I'll buy it.
2014-15 (don't remember exact year) and up come with a 1330cc triple cylinder.
I wasn’t sure what vid I was watching and I thought “That looks like the area around Wernersville.”
Bombardier Recreation Product
I subscribed as soon as you read scripture.
Do you even know the difference between Bombardier (Can Am) and Polaris? Can Am is made by Polaris? You shouldn't be doing this review job anymore.
no audio
Had to stop watching, sound only comes out of the left speaker while he's talking....but comes out of both the other parts of the video.
Coolest looking bikes
lmfao polaris doesnt make can am lol
The can am f3 Rt are motorcycles, they are not bikes
Amen, thank you for the bible verse
They just cost to much
And you are a bulls**t.
You mean "too much" I hope ..... sad I have to correct someone on English spelling when it's not even my 1st language
So pricing has gone down dramatically, if you look at cycle traders they are going for about 12k
@@carlospinzon1559 yep, right now the 18s have like 5k in rebates. I might trade my road glide for one. Idk.
polaris doent make can am dummy lmfao
Thank you as always for the Biblical passage. It is so true that we must let things go and not seek vengeance against those who do us wrong. Praise be to God and to our Salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.
How come the invisible man
In sky let's millions of children die of hunger ??
The real question is...Can it wheelie
Many motorcyclists especially older ones, don't think or care to wheelie
Wayne G. I was just kidding
Only dipshiit riders "wheelie" racres know "wheelies" lose races.
What was "the truth"? And, it is a motorcycle. It's not a "bike" as a bike would indicate BIcycle meaning two wheels. "Motorcycle" is a cycle that has a motor. This is a motorcycle. Additionally, I don't think you can turn off traction control on ANY Spyder - not the 2017 and newer as you mentioned in your video. And where in the world did you get that CanAm / BRP is a Polaris product? Nah. Product knowledge matters. I pity anyone who unwittingly buys a motorcycle from you clowns.
Who would want a CanAm Spyder? Think of it like an ATV you can ride on the street, that's pretty much what you're getting.
Peter perfect for someone that can’t hold up a bike or a older person that wants to feel like they are on a motorcycle.
WoodyOn2Wheels Yeah, or just someone who's comfortable riding ATVs and would like to go blast around on the streets on one. There are a lot of people who ride ATVs but don't ride motorcycles, it's the street bike for that crowd.
I believe the average American biker is in their mid-fifties. That makes for about half the bikers are at an age where riding a 2 wheel bike is more challenging, less enjoyable. This gives the open air bike enjoyment, with less stress. I'm 63, and I have been eyeing the Can Am's.
You might want to try riding one. I had bikes for years, but I went to a Spyder not because I'm old or disabled but because I find it actually more fun and less to worry about. With all that traction, the Spyder greatly outcorner any motorcycle -- and without the fear of wiping out on a patch of sand or gravel. Because of the way they corner, it's more like driving a very small sports car than a motorcycle. You also have more storage than a cruiser, cars see you much more than a bike, you can't stall out in the middle of an intersection because you were in the wrong gear, it will never tip over because you forgot to put down the stand, and the wife loves it because she feels more secure.
So it's a trike. I have a Harley and a spyder. Different day different cycle. Sometimes I just want the Spyder experience.
What I’ve been reading is that can am spyders have a 42% failure rate in the first 4 years
nice job!
