No, I was still running the original KYB rear shock in its factory settings during this ride. I have since upgraded my suspension to the Elka Stage 4's on front and rear. The Elka's have much better damping and stiffer springs than the KYB units. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
That's a tough choice because they are completely different animals. The Ryker is a larger, faster machine and it's a reverse-trike (no leaning in corners). The PCX150 is much smaller and lighter, and it has a more traditional riding dynamic (leans in corners). Both bikes are twist-and-go with their CVT transmissions, but the PCX is obviously the more efficient and practical runaround tool. The Ryker has definite advantages in terms of stability, rider aids (e.g,. traction control, stability control, ABS, etc), so it is fantastic for riding in inclement weather compared to traditional 2-wheelers. You never need to put your feet down at a stop, there is no balancing or leaning, and the advanced rider aids really keep you out of trouble. However, you can't filter (split lanes) with it because it's as wide as a Smart ForTwo, and the fuel economy is very poor compared to most motorcycles and scooters (my lifetime average is only ~29 MPG: www.fuelly.com/motorcycle/can-am/ryker_rally_900/2019/quasimotard/887879). The PCX is a superb commuter tool due to its stellar fuel economy (usually 100+ MPG) and its built-in storage. Ownership and operating costs (e.g., purchase price, insurance, maintenance, fuel, etc) for the PCX are drastically lower than the Ryker, so it's definitely easier on the budget. Newer 2019+ models of the PCX are available with ABS, so that's a good idea. However, the PCX's smaller/narrower wheels and tires can make it more of a risk to ride in inclement weather compared to the Ryker. If I could only keep one of them, then the PCX would be my choice because of its simplicity, reliability, and economy. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

Very cool. I love the father-son tandem. Cheers.
LOL even with the auto leveling of the cameras you can really see them curves and inclines..
Specially when you show the 2 wheel bikes leaning LOL
Love that dark-teal Ryker's color, need more colorful bikes like that on the road.
Very well organized group. Looks everyone had a great time. 👍😊
Thanks again for great video! QM 🍻

One of days I test out Can-Am Ryker Rally! QM 🍻
Did you adjust your spring for 2Up riding ?

Which vehicle do you recommend? The Ryker or the Honda PCX 150cc?
