Think Twice Before Buying Can-Am Spyder

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 😁.

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.

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.

Great advice. Gonna get one soon.

GREAT information right here. Well represented, my friend. Cheers!!! ✔️💯💪

The transmission is semi-automatic. You must upshift by using the switches. It will down shift by itself.

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

Gotta get one of these

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.

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 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.

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.

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...

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 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.

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.

Why have you included Ryker clips in a review of the Spyder? Especially the Ryker's auxiliary fuel filler tube.

Thanks for reading out the manual...

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).

I own a spyder 2021 and you CAN put it in sport mode which give the ability to drift.

I rode Goldwing in 1998 I might buy Spyder cause of my age now hehehe...

Hey, you need to review the RT limited as well, not just the F3.

25K is high miles? Goldwings are just warming up. 😂

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.

Hard to find anyone to work on the spyder or CanAm in LA County CA. Very hard to get any three wheel motorcycle repaired.

how is this a buyers guide??

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?

4:24 That's a Ryker, the Spyder's more afordable "Little Brother" .

Here in NL spyders cost a whooping 30.000$ my spyder costs a total of 34.000$ full decked out

Could you please tell me how the l Fuel mileage mileage is low what I can do about 2:00 miles and a 14

I'll consider the Yamaha Niken before this.

Good luck finding reliable and affordable maintenance. Mine spend more time in the shop than on the road. An oil change is $300+

you say 'poor gas mileage'... but what is the actually number?

up to 60,000 miles? I wanted to get one as a daily smh

what's a top of the line of the line motorcycle that's similar to the Spyder?

Only 60k miles? I was thinking about getting one, that seems really low but tbh I’m not sure

Spyder gets good gas mileage, I can drive for 2 wks on $20 to work and home.

I wonder if SRKcycles knows you've used this much of their footage.

I've done 65,000 km on a 2020 RTL, so by your view it should be ready for the scrap heap

No wonder it looks like a snowmobile. It was created by the company that INVENTED the snowmobile.

If you want one go out buy what you want

Is it good for tall riders? I'm 6'5".

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.

They should make the Spyder completely automatic like the Ryker is. That would be my purchase for sure

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.

A "RoadMeister!"

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.

What is the fuel mileage?

Nice looking but I’ll pass no thank you I’ll stick to my Honda

The RT model $23,500? More like $27,500.

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.

Class c California only cam am

President Duterte Is one of the owner of this brand motorcycle 👌

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.

In the 1980 they kill my other uncle in a bar then last year my uncle Cristoval was kill so if a life sentence for being a bandito in this world!

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 . 👎👎

Skidoo bike

i’ve driven one. not impressed tbh. it’s fun-ish but i rather my motorcycle

Poor fuel mileage ? I wonder why ? These things should get 50mpg 🤷🏼‍♂️

Buy a manual and do it yourself

This is very ugly to see it on the road 😢

In the biker world we call these people cagers

exactly don't buy can am, whoever built it must be The cosmonaut

Way too much head/camera movement. Was making me sea sick just watching it.

This voice over is pretty horrible.

Duterte

MUA VE VIET NAM CO DANG KIEM DUOC KO BAN

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!

A motorcycle has 2 wheels, this is nothing more than a motorized tricycle.

Typical GIRLS bike

Аппарат хороший, но в России их нет
