BRP Can-Am Spyder RT Reviews from United States of America

Nothing.

Very comfortable for long distances and extended touring.

Handles extremely well in adverse weather conditions. For example, heavy rain and high cross winds.

Very smooth and quiet.

Had two throttle bodies go out. One at 847 miles, and one later.

Had the DPS and VSS codes come on at different times.

Had limp mode come on several times.

This trike has helped get me through a rough time in my life.

I've never had a big bike, and I learned how to ride this in a short time, and was comfortable in doing so.

It gets a lot of attention from everyone, including other bikers.

I'm 70 and have friends in their 80's riding and loving it. They feel safe and comfortable.

Auto locking glove box does not lock; from day one.

This Can Am handles great, good acceleration and stopping distance.

Looks are way cool.

However, upgrades are expensive, and many should have been standard from the factory.

CB radio has a lot of noise when transmitting. So bad that those I ride with do not want me to talk, since they cannot understand me unless the Roadster is not moving. This is a Can-am radio, dealer installed on my RTS.

Hard to let go of my Harley mentality, but once I did, I found the Spyder FUN, FUN, FUN, and no worries about dumping it in a gravel parking lot.

Love the heated grips.

Due to a disability, the driver pegs caused pain in my left foot. Added full length floor boards - problem solved.

The bike is the Limited Edition, and the GPS system that came as standard is a nice feature.

The seat is comfortable, and there is room for two riders.

The storage compartments came with luggage, and there is room for lots of gear.

The gas gauge is not accurate, I get an empty reading and there is still 2.5 gallons left in the tank. The dealer changed the fuel pump, but that didn't change anything.

I get 32 MPG, but the manufacturer doesn't believe that is possible. However, I'm an not an aggressive hot rod driver, and I have continued to check the mileage, and it is better than advertised.

I like having the security of the 3 wheel system, as I am older.

The bike comes equipped with many more headlights and back lights than most bikes.

Nothing has gone wrong.

This motorcycle is the best one I have ever owned.

Ride comfort is superb.

Torque and power are great.

Had three recalls. Much trouble with the dealership.

Most comfortable bike I have owned. Rode from MN to CA last summer. Very stable on the road.

Nothing has gone wrong to date.

The roadster has changed my thinking of what cycling is about. This design has allowed us in our 70s to continue cycling. And it's ridden through spring to fall, and into the winter season.

As a former two wheeler, it does ride differently than a cycle. But just remember to handle this roadster like it's a snow mobile that corners like a go-cart, and you'll get the handle on it quick. I find I still have my cycle habit in my head, and drift into the left or right side of the drive lane. In the old days, the middle was always black with oil, and dead man's land on hot or rainy days. You ride this one like a trike, and park it like a car.

Ride and comfort are great for touring, but a little weak on MPG. It's quick off the line and very quiet. The ROTAX two cylinder engine is just flawless. Redlined at 9000 is just out of sight.
