    I got my Ryker rally, just driving around on the grass in the Ozark Mountains, our land and my neighbors land. They are crazy powerful, barely give it gas and it flies.

    In the parts I live a vehicle you straddle and has handle bars is referred to as “bike” just like we refer to a Chevy Tahoe as truck. The thing that gets me is when people say it takes a lot of getting used to riding the spyder or ryker because it’s not two wheels. I always think have you never ridden a four wheeler, it’s the same thing. Great video as always.

    I have mobility issues and drive a 2014 Spyder RT-S. I call it a trYke or bike. Yeah, the hater's "snowmobile comments" got old quick, most of those are HD MC (gang) type drivers. But glad most people have enough sense to realize they are awesome in their own way.
    If I could get a trailer to haul stuff with the Ryker I would get one or trade in.

    Hey Shawn!
    I have been watching your Ryker videos about 6 months now and I really enjoy them. I am now in my mid-50's and due to some medical issues two-wheeling is no longer an option. So thanks in part to you, today I had the joy of bringing home a 2020 Can Am Ryker Rally! This thing as an absolute hoot to ride (drive?). I am still getting used to how she corner,s as it is very un-motorcycle-ish (if that is even a word). The way the power comes on takes a little getting used to also but I am confident that I will master it soon. I added the windshield, passenger seat and backrest, a nice cover, and a locking gas cap. I just ordered the parking brake lock and a billet parking brake lever. I also got some nice floorboards which I will install once I have a little time. My wife was impressed so much that she is thinking about taking the Can Am Rider course to get her license.
    Thank you for your friendly, laid-back, and informative videos!

    I can't say I like them, but I bet there will be a lot of people that do. Who knows, when the day comes that I can't ride a bike anymore I would like something like that over a trike. By having the single wheel at the rear it makes them inherently stable vs a trike or sidecar that are very unstable. Great review as always Shawn.

    Great videos as always. Been following for years from around the times of your sportster and Suzuki DR650 days. Have you relocated? I haven't been by in awhile so I seemed to have missed something. At any rate. These machines always look a bit skittish. Could an overreaction on the highway at 70 get you into trouble pretty quickly? Also, since the CVT is essentially an ATV or snowmobile transmission, is it suitable for long range high speed cruising? By their nature, ATV's and snowmobiles would almost never see these kind of conditions. It's still just a belt, right?

I have a gut feeling that it will be a lot like a Harley Sportster or Indian Scout, they’re both very capable of doing a world tour, but won’t be the most comfortable bikes to do it on. That being said, everyone’s comfort threshold is different..! Once I get my hands on one, I’ll be testing these kinds of things...

    Great vid- I want one so bad, $11k wonder what your credit score has to be to finance it? $10/ 100mi? Do they make them with two seats?

      You can easily add another seat on all Ryker models.

    I'm a few years late to the game but thanks for this video. I'm pretty set on getting a Ryker as my next BIKE😁 Yes I'll call it a bike too lol! It's funny how Harley riders or any in the "hardcore" motorcycle crowd will have no problem calling a Harley trike or Goldwing trike,a motorcycle. Yet they blow a gasket if they hear someone calling a Ryker/Spyder a bike🤷🏻

    A little pricing mystery for you to ponder Shawn. I went down the coast to get a solid quote on a Rally with the sports screen and luggage top box ride away, $19,990 AusD.
    Now the Aus dollar will currently get you $1.05 Canadian, gives you an idea of the outrageous Govt taxes we're slugged with here.
    However! I can get a 2017 Model Spyder Daytona, brand new, no miles for $23,500! Pretty well the same as the US price! The mind boggles!

    I know they're good, for keeping the revs in the sweet spot for balancing engine power and economy, but I really don't like CVT's. They constantly feel like a slipping clutch to me.

    • @ShawnSmoak
      @ShawnSmoak  6 років тому +1

      There is absolutely zero sense of a slipping clutch with Can-Am's CVT systems..! You need to ride one!
      Thanks!

    • @stoney3398
      @stoney3398 6 років тому +2

      I've driven a few different cars with CVTs, and they do feel weird, just like a slipping clutch as you describe. But my Suzuki Burgman 650 feels great - none of that kind of feeling, it just never shifts! Unless you put it into manual shift mode, of course...

    • @TheSmoaksVlogs
      @TheSmoaksVlogs 6 років тому

      Oh yeah, most CVT cars do seem pretty strange feeling... Lol. The Ryker is a lot like your Burgman, but noticeably less initial lag before full engagement. It bites right off idle! If you didn’t know, you’d never realize it even had a CVT trans... It’s a lot like the feel of Honda’s amazing DCT system without the shifting.
      Thanks again!

    In my opinion, I just wish they made a spyder with the ryker seating position. I just don’t really like the style of the ryker compared to the spyder, but the seat is way better and makes you feel more “at one” with the bike on the ryker.
    TLDR: ryker looks bad but is better seat wise. Spyder looks better but is less comfortable.

      This Roadster Ryker is as close as they've come to being just that..! Lol It was during summer snowmobile testing in the late 90's that BRP came up with the idea. When the snow melted and they needed to continue testing, they put wheels up front like they'd done in the past, but this time added a swing arm and rear wheel in place of the track. It was so much fun to ride, the Roadster Three Wheeled Motorcycle concept was born... It's been an amazingly successful journey ever since!
      Thanks Philippe!

      Weather good looking or not, it’s not marketed as a Spyder in any way. It’s a whole new Can-Am Roadster for the hip younger crowd, or young at heart... Lol As a Ryker, it’s freak’n awesome!! Take one for a spin, it’s one of the funnest things you can imagine...

      Just got the 600 Ryker for my wife and it rips. I have a 2019 HD RGS with the 114ci and she has no problem keeping up with me till 50 mph or so. Super fun. She wants me to get one too as she says it’s more fun when we are both on the same bikes. For her test ride the dealer let me take one to go out with her and I must say it was fun ripping around on these...felt like we were on vacation somewhere. If she press hard enough I might add on for me (900 though) as i love riding with my wife, so if that’s what it takes.
