    When they first hit the market several years ago the Can-Am Spyder promotional tour hit the motorsports shop right next to where I work. They were letting people drive one around a small track on the lot and it made quite a stir. I didn't have the time to take it for a spin, but there were a at least a dozen ppl in line at any time all day to do so.

    I was hell bent on buying one, but the bank thought otherwise. Instead I bought a VX for cash, and well.... here I am.

    I still would buy one, they look awesome, and look like tons of fun and only slightly less practical than a VX. hehe..

    The motorsports shop still sells them and I see a few roll off the Can-Am/BRP delivery truck every few months or so. So I think they are selling fairly well by now.

    Even saw a used one here a few months ago, but it sold within a couple weeks. I still REALLY want a bike or scooter or just sumthin else unusual to fun around in when the weather is good.

    My neighbor's got one and loves it. says it handles great. I think 2 wheels is wayyy more fun but for those who want to be a little more cautious yet still get the feel (almost) of a bike these are pretty cool. They look pretty slick when they have the nice wheels, and have pretty good gitty up and go too for how big they are.

    No offense to anyone who has one, but all I can say is drop a pair and buy a real motorcycle. I just don't get those things, not to mention I think they are ugly and awkward looking. Are they fun? Probably, but that's not my point. No light beer, diet soda, or light cigarettes. If you are gonna do it, do it right, or don't do it at all.

    Love the T-Rex. Sweet piece of machinery that is.
