Can Am Spyder

Anyone ride one of these? Seem to be gaining in popularity. Uses the same engine as Aprillia sport bikes! (900 V Twin)

Looks pretty sweet, I'd invest. Street Legal? I had to to turn the sound off

Yeah they're street legal...A friend of my dad's has one. It's pretty cool but I cant see buying one. I think it would lose it's luster and fun factor after a season of riding it.

When you see one up close you realize how insanely low they are on the street. The motor is an excellent motor with lots of balls.
But this is not really a motorcycle experience.

I have seen a few of these on the streets down here. To me, they look like a mutated crotch rocket, but with a lower profile. They are harder to see being so low to the ground. I would imagine they are close to invisible from a big SUV perspective.

Co-worker test drove one and is sticking with his current bike. He said it drove differently than a bike because of the front end (no tilt turn) and did not like the feel. His words, not mine.

Meh. To me there is nothing special about them besides looking different.
