FS: 2008 Can-Am Spyder

[banned3x]

i know this isnt the market place but this does not belong to me, i just wanted to know what you guys think? i know its not as fun as a bike but certainly alot of cool factor here. anyone here own one? i like it first of all becuase its canadian, second becuse you can drift on it and looks like fun to drive. i would love to see what it can do on the track, 1/4 mile of course.

i think it has zero sex appeal
i dont dout its fast but i wouldn't buy one over a bike

[whiskas]

Looks like a bike with training wheels...

[JfuckinC]

looks like it would be scary to turn at high speeds..
These are for those old guys with the full face helmet that folds up and the really puffy textile jackets lol..

[2EFNFAST]

I see one driving around Shawnessy all the time....it has some old fat guy riding it, lol.....but seriously, in person it looks pretty lame. I wouldn't pimp it.

[bituerbo]

All the limitations of a motorcycle without the fun of wheelies.
Or lean.

[Pollywog]

Its like they took a motorcycle and removed anything that could induce fun. "Lets throw two wheels in the front and remove the ability to lean into turns, but we'll keep one in the back so it is also worse for high-speed cornering. Then we'll completely bastardize it's appearance and make it look like a quad fucked a sea-doo."

This to me is not intended for a buyer in the motorcycle market, but someone in the car market who hates being warm and listening to the radio.

This should be in the marketplace if you are just putting it up for a friend. If you wanted a discussion on the product, the link should be spared as well as the FS title.

I would LOVE the chance to rip around on one of these things. Ya, it's not a motorcycle, but for a lot of people that may actually be the SELLING point. It's basically an ATV that you can drive to work? What's the downside?

:dunno:

Edit: I just checked the ad and my only concern is the price.

[FiveFreshFish]

I'd rather have a T-Rex.

[Pollywog]

Only place they aren't legal AFAIK is Ontario. http://www.campagnamotors.com/petition/

[scat19]

They are insured as a "trike - motorcycle".

I can't find proof if they are ilegal here in AB.

lol....see my edit.
I'd say we agree.

[FiveFreshFish]

The T-Rex was shown at the 2007 Calgary car show. Not sure if that says anything about its legality.

[Pollywog]

Well if I was in the market for anything with three wheels, it would be AERO 3S's version of the T-Rex.

edit :

The basic price for a 2009 T-REX start at $51,995.usd plus shipping and for a T-REX AERO 3S turn key, the price start at $67,995.usd plus shipping.

The body kit AERO 3S, is not a kit car. It's a body kit that goes over a used or a new T-REX. The price for the body kit in fiber glass start at $14,000.usd plus the paint work 3950$ , installation 1500$, shipping and handling.

[Pollywog]

$30,000 for the carbon kit..:bigpimp:

[banned3x]

I'd rather put $30,000 down payment for a lambo lol insane

[Pollywog]

I think the most important thing for people in the three wheeler market is research. There are so many different takes on three wheeled vehicles, and it really comes down to what you want your vehicle to be more like; a car or a motorcycle.

Some other favorites of mine:

lol, I was going to include the Piaggio, but its more of a scooter than anything.

[Redlyne_mr2]

I cant stand these things, nerdiest thing ever.

[B4tMan]

haha true

innovative, yet ...

[crez]

How can you knock the 20000 Can Am and praise the almost 70000 s3? For 50000 you could make the Can am as cool I'm sure.

[B4tMan]

people around here judge on looks ... not performance

[crez]

I think people just judge for something to knock
personally.

[rockanrepublic]

i say screw the three wheels its useless might as well go either 2 and get a bike or 4 and get a atom

I can't even see this being much of a performer. It would be slower than a sport bike, handle worse and looks terrible lol.

Those things are $20,000?!?!?!?! :eek:
