First of all, the more I watch your reviews Peter, the more I appreciate your professionalism and thoroughness with your approach. You present them in a way of "technical sales." If I was buying a new machine, this is the type of presentation I'd appreciate. Show me the specs, answer my technical questions but include the "sizzle/feels" of the vision of touring in what is almost a motorcycle (my definition). Secondly, while the screen and paint are not as sharp as they would in person (no way around that - I think), they come across better than you may think. I could see all the details on the screen and some of the metallic fleckes in the paint (perhaps the viewing device is a factor). Looking forward to the next one; so put in the good word with Extreme Torque Motorsports ( I like the name!) and tell them we watch, so keep providing machines for reviews. 🙂
I am a proud owner of the 2024 Sea to Sky model. Peter you are spot on. It is a lovely motorcycle. I love everything about it. That is my daily driver. I stopped using my car 2 months ago since I purchased it. Every single day. No lie. Especially coming from the gym or even from the supermarket. The attention that I get. The questions that I get asked. What is this? Oh my God that is different. And I have to go through a whole slew of explanation LOL. Which I expected from purchasing this beast of a machine. The only issue is the Apple carplay is not yet updated on mine. I am still waiting for the update. If you have any information please let me know. You are doing a great job representing this motorcycle. Lots of people are still confused about it.
😩. My wife and I went to a canam dealer yesterday with a pile of cash to buy a new sea to sky. We were not impressed with the riding experience. We got smoked by a Tahoe off the starting line at a traffic line 🤣. The thing has no torque. Plus, that semi auto shift button shift is super annoying. But we noped out because of the Apple CarPlay. Couldn’t figure out how to get it. Now I know why. Didn’t like this bike anyway, and too expensive for what it is anyway. Thumbs down for this one.
After watching your video on the RT Limited I came to the same conclusion as you and thought the Sea to Sky is much better value at that price point. One thing I’d note is that the passenger arm rests are an additional add-on and make the passenger hand warmers useless so I decided not to go with them. The other part that’s a little disappointing is that the Apple Car Play is not available just yet but is expected to be a software upgrade over wifi once available. This is a fantastic vehicle though. Not a motorcycle but more of a road ready ATV. Tons of fun. I just love it!!
Hi Peter .. as a person looking to get a Can Am in July I am doing my research. I have watched all your videos on these which as been informative but could you do a Sea to Sky comparison with the F3 Limited Special Series ; Please … personally those are the 2 models I’m debating or indecisive about .
Great walk around, and really appreciated. I just bought a 2024 RT Limited on the 9th of June, 2024, because I was able to get it in the Candy Apple Red, and the only things it didn't include that I can "see" are the rear arm-rests, and the Driver Seat backrest, both of which I think can be added to the model I got. I'm still new to this, but I like the feel of it MUCH better than a traditional trike, where this has two wheels in front versus a trike with two in the rear. Also, at 60 years of age, I appreciate that I don't have to worry about holding it up and balancing, or putting it up on a center stand when parking. I'm looking forward to a few trips on this over the next few months to get the feel for it.
I am looking to buy a Spyder RT Limited, but now I'm wondering why not spend a couple thousand dollars more and get the Sea to Sky. Great video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I looked at a Sea To Sky today. I’ve had a motorcycle since I was 14. I’m now 68 and truthfully, I’m not as good of a rider as I used to be. The strength is still good, the balance has deteriorated. I suspect this will be my 70th birthday present to myself.
We just picked up our Sea to Sky last Saturday, traded in the wife's 2019 RTL which served us well. My understanding is Android Auto will not license their system for Motorcycles. I can't ride two wheels anymore, this was the best solution for me of all the other options out there. The semi-automatic is a joy in heavy traffic. Dealing with clutch was becoming an issue. The Can-Am took the stress out and put the fun back in. The more I ride it the more I like it.
I loo0ove my Syder RT Limited... Wouldnt Want Anything Else ... SUPERB !!! An Absolutely Magik Machine... Thrilled to Bits with it ... Bought it for my 60th in Feb... (60 the New 40😂 for Sure ) Having so0o much Enjoyment out On It... Pure Magik!!! Im in Nz...Cruising the Scenic Back Roads... (Much Safer Than NZ Highways) ... Come over to NZ to Explore and Enjoy.... Thankyou Peter for explaining the Sea to Sky name... i did not Realise it was named after the Sea to Sky Highway... Very Informative Thankyou I hope to get the Wonderful Opportunity and Chance to Visit and Enjoy Cruising the Sea to Sky Highway on a Special Sea to Sky Can Am... Thankyou for Great and Very Honest and Informative Videos... Brilliant ...Much Appreciated 🌻
Excellent review really showing all the features of a great touring machine. I own a 2022 Sea-to-Sky and I simply love it! I've traveled solo to New Brunswick and I also did that trip with my wife and we had plenty of space for all our gear. Whether on a secondary highway or the Trans-Canada highway, it is a very smooth ride, very steady and very comfortable.
Every time I ride one of these I have a lot of trouble shifting... because I normally ride a Rebel DCT and in manual shift mode the lever is opposite for shifting to the Spyder. Always get my up/down shift backwards
Some people are stuck on automatic transmission, coming from the Honda rebel automatic it’s OK, but I like the driver engagement of the semi automatic transmission from Can-Am
To anyone that says this ISN'T a motorcycle NHTSA has heard your complaint and soundly disagrees with you ( Please look it up their definition for yourself) and so does the DMV which is why owners of such motorcycles are issued MOTORCYCLE license plates. That's a beautiful bike, I currently have a deposit on one. Waiting to see in person the 24 AND the equally gorgeous 2025 before I pull the trigger, and the trigger WILL be pulled. 😊
At 66 with some mobility and strength challenges, I am absolutely intrigued by this machine. I have been riding for over 50 years and am still not ready to give it up .
We bought our 2024 sea to sky in March of this year. It has been in the shop for 5 weeks now. For lack of BRP providing parts needed to fix. Parts are on back order estimated delivery 12/20/24. Our bike will be in the shop for 5 months. Love the bike, very disappointed in BRP. But yet production for the 2025 moves forward !
So today me and my wife looked at the 2024 can am spider sea to sky and we are planning to get one in the next 4 to 5 week if not sooner! I have to say this I have a drone business and wanted something that was good on gas but didn’t want a car or truck so I decided on this and I love taking rides on country roads and inner city rides and I feel this is the best ride for me also it has lots of room for my drones and I have realtors that I do photography for and know this would turn heads! Im looking forward to getting this and will let you know what I think about it soon!
Excellent video Peter. Thank you I watched all your reviews on the CAN-AM. I currently own a 2020 Ryker Rally, but want to upgrade to either the 2024 F3T or RT model. A lot of great info. Thank u again. Keep up the great videos!
@@PeterLoweOne I have a 24 S2S, it only has passenger handles to hang on to. The arm rests are still optional even though for $33k, should come standard.
I took possession of my STS yesterday. No buyer’s remorse as it is so much fun to ride. My wife too loves the ride and is already coming up with reasons to use it instead of our car. I live in Vancouver and the sea to sky highway is a dream for motorcycle riders. I look forward to taking its namesake up to Whistler and back.
One thing you haven't mentioned in any of your reviews concerning the Spyder RT Limited or the Spyder Sea to Sky is the fact that you can install a towing package which includes the towbar, and wiring harness, you must purchase your own trailer ball, on the Spyder that DOES NOT affect the warranty. A trailer is great if, like me, I have to carry a wheelchair wherever I go, and if you have a spouse who likes to pack everything except the kitchen sink. Can Am has a trailer you can purchase to go with your Spyder if you want, or there are a number of other trailers on the market that the Spyder will pull with ease; your fuel mileage will be affected by a trailer. The maximum allowable weight allowed in the trailer is 400 pounds.
You're right, I do need to do a better job of covering that. I did mention that you can tow with it in one of my reviews, but it deserves to have more detail. I'll try to include it in the next RT review that I do. Thanks for watching.
@@PeterLoweOne Nice walk around review Peter, you cover so many small details, now I want one. Guess it's time to trade in my 22 Ryker Rally? I did hear you mention that it's set up to tow a trailer and that Can Am has one that works with the Sea to Sky model. I may have missed it, but I didn't hear you mention that it has reverse, a very nice feature on a machine that weighs this much. Keep up the great work!
@@PeterLoweOneit definitely does not work. You’re very well versed on this vehicle and would be appreciated if you can find out when we can expect the software update?
