Rafterd Posted February 22, 2019 #1 Posted February 22, 2019 Does anyone here own or ride a Can Am Spyder? The older I get the worse my old knees are getting. I’m not gonna stop riding. Just checking my options.
Kretz Posted February 22, 2019 #2 Posted February 22, 2019 Friend of mine has one. He didn't like the "insecurity" of stopping as he got older, (on a conventional bike) he is also a little vertically challenged. He really likes it but to me it looks like a peculiar riding position, but I guess more akin to a conventional feet under your hips (not forward as with cruisers). He really likes his, but do sit on one & try one out as they're not for everybody. They do look & feel very "big" though & they're not exactly cheap! Try one see what you think.
Marcarl Posted February 23, 2019 #3 Posted February 23, 2019 We've had one since 2014, bought it brand new, waited for the three cylinder because we found too much vibration in the 2 cyl. Not that it was bad, but more than the 85 Venture so we decided to wait. Reason for change had mostly to do with Marca getting off and on, sure made it easier for her. I wouldn't trade it now for nothing, took a few miles to really get into it, 5-6000 or so, but now I wonder what took me so long. A total pleasure!!!! once I got the alignment done right. Got 50,000km on it now.
Rafterd Posted February 26, 2019 Author #4 Posted February 26, 2019 Everyone I’ve talked to really likes them. But I’ll have to ride one before I get one. And yes, I want a 2014 or later.
