BRP Can-Am Spyder Reviews from United States of America

Nothing has gone wrong.

This motorcycle accelerates like no other. If I don't ride for a week, I still get surprised at how much power this machine has. It stops on a dime; the braking system is phenomenal.

The only downside so far is the seat; it could be a little more comfortable, and the service and parts are very expensive. You need to be well prepared financially for any services you schedule.

Overall, I really enjoy this bike, and it still is so unique looking, so you feel special riding it!

Nothing.

Outstanding. Acceleration is great, stability awesome, and it's the most comfortable motorcycle I've ever owned. I have owned motorcycles for over 30 years, and so far this one is the best.

Had a great time on it in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Much safer than the H.D. Road King I traded in on it, in my opinion.

Drive belt stretched and had to be tightened.

Gas gauge went bad, and the dashboard computer had to be replaced.

Both driver and passenger seats are very comfortable.

The motorcycle has good acceleration.

The ride is very stable, and it handles better in high wind situations than two wheel motorcycles.

Has great storage space.

Is easy to maneuver and to control.

Three wheels makes it unnecessary to support upright when stopped.

Reverse gear makes backing up easy.

Everything has been great. No real problems from the bike's point of view.

Did aftermarket bags, Corbin, spyder bags had no style. Seat was changed, much more comfortable.

Added more lights, markers to make the bike more visible.

The only problem I've seen is the brakes squeal, which I understand is an overall problem with this bike. They only squeal after the bike is warm, and almost at the completion of my ride.

Without putting a riser block on the front steering column, one is put in an uncomfortable position where you are leaning over much too far, which causes your head to be in a downward position.

I love the stability this bike offers.

The manual shifting is one of the easiest ones I've ever had.

I love the entire look of the motorcycle, and believe that oncoming traffic actually takes note of my presence on the road.

What a great feature to not have to put your feet down on pavement every time you stop.

The reverse works great, and the flashing lights indicate to other drivers what your intentions are, which makes backing up so much safer.

Parking brake cable came off spools. This was repaired under warranty due to it being a factory recall at 4,500 miles.

Throttle body had to be replaced under a factory recall, due to it causing an engine miss, at 4,500 miles.

Left rear saddle bag plastic hinge point broke off for no apparent reason. Seems very flimsy. 5,400 miles.

Road debris hit the rear parking brake spool, causing a cable to jump off of its pulley, making the parking brake inoperative at 7,500 miles. Easily put back on back home.

Machine handles well, but requires a learning curve to get used to it, especially in turns.

Passenger comfort is superb.

However, driver seat comfort is lacking on long rides.

Headlight configuration is superb, however I noticed that some oncoming drivers do not recognize the arrangement of the lights, causing them to pull off the road.

Semi automatic trans makes it quick off the line, and is very helpful on loose gravel, inclines, and wet pavement.

Very smooth quiet ride. Handles road ridge bumps well.

Front shocks are adjustable, with the rear air shock being adjustable on the fly with dash control and visual display.

Ergonomics of dash layout is good, easy to reach and see.

Has built in plugs for iPod's or MP3 players. Also has 12 volt plug in trunk.
