I've rode two wheeled motorcycles since 1964 but my wife has battled cancer eight times and we went to a trike. I test drove a Gold Wing and hated it. I then test drove the big Spyder and really didn't care for it either. So we bought a HD Tri-Glide. We are on our second Tri=Glide now and over 30,000 miles on them. Christmas we bought our son a Ryker because he had a stroke and can no longer operate a hand clutch or foot shifter of a regular motorcycyle. I rode it home and it was pure fun. I liked it so much I am now looking at Can Ams again. The Spyder F3 Limitied is what I'm most interested in. When I trade the HD off I will do my best to buy a F3 Limited. One thing about a Spyder the two wheels are up front where you can see them. On a HD or Gold Wing they are behind you and you would not believe how many times you get too cloase to other cars in parking lots, gas pumps, grocercy carts and many other things before you almost hit and tear the rear fender up. With the Spyder that will NEVER happen because they are up front in plan sight.
Oh yes!! This is all I have been waiting for this one and also I can't even wait to afford one of these someday. Overall, marvelous job and review / POV test drive bro.
I just bought a Spyder F3 Limited and wish I had seen this video first. I had the Ryker 900 before it, testing the waters with the cheaper model first. I would suggest both bikes to anyone wanting to experience the open air of motorcycles/trikes.
I live in Colorado and ride mine virtually every day. If the snow is fresh I do have to wait for it to be mostly ice-free on the pavement. But otherwise, I'm out there for an average of 150 miles per day.
Really Really intrigued by this bike. I’ve never driven a motorcycle before. Well since I was a kid and that was like 100 years ago according to my kids. Anyway me and my wife both are are what you would call short and fluffy people. Anyone know how comfortable these are for bigger people and on top of it inexperience riders. We live less than 2hr from Gatlinburg Ten and it would be AWESOME to head up the mountains for the weekend on something like this. Thanks for any suggestions and advice.
I just returned from a long motorcycle trip. I’m done with them. Deer and large dogs came within a inch of killing me multiple times a day. I know if I hit one, and I will, that I’m going down and eating asphalt. I been riding 20 years but for whatever reason the anxiety just ruined my trip. And I’m only 38 so I’m not a old man. The deer population is totally out of control here in Kentucky and Tennessee. Anyhow riding a can am would reduce my anxiety by 90%. Sure it still has its dangers but at least if I hit a deer or some large dog in the road I have a chance of not going down. I been real lucky and haven’t been down before but sooner or later I will. I just want to travel and enjoy myself without animals killing me. I can’t do anything about the cArs on the road but I’m just not gonna die over a freakin deer 🦌. I have no ego to feed or anybody to impress so I don’t care what they think. I want to enjoy the wind and open road without deer dogs and gravel killing me.
Any of the F3 lineup will be a blast. The RTs are Great, but there's no comparison in the turns, curves, and twisties. I have an RT Ltd here in Colorado, and I sit on it, whereas with the F3 design the operator sits in it, a huge difference. I rode two wheels on and off for decades and it took me 5-6000 miles to become one with the RT. The F3 can be dialed in over a weekend. Basically, the F3 is the love child of a randy Hayabusa and a Daymak Go-Kart.
@@chuckkelley5894 cool thanks for the insight 👍🏻. I grew up riding ATVs every single day of my life until I was 19 or so. My friends and I used to run the roads on them a lot too. So when I sit on a can am it feels so natural to me like riding a atv 😂. I never cared much about 2 wheels but started riding motorcycles at 19 because they were road legal. If the atv 4 wheelers were road legal I would have preferred one of those. But it only recently dawned on me that riding a can am spyder would be just like having a road legal atv! I sat on one and yep it felt just like sitting on a big 4 wheeler like we had on the farm I like how you described the F3 sitting down “ in it”. I tend to like that. I always chose Harley’s that also had that feeling. So I can sit down “ in” a F3 like my Harley and then also feel like and ride like a big atv ! It’s a win win situation
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I think I know what’s happening - you shut it off in gear so it’s in gear when you turn the key back on. Shift to N before you turn it off as advised in the manual.
@@johncantelon7071 either way is going to work depending on the rider. I’d keep it gear like I do on my own bike, if the ebrake fails, you have a back up from it rolling away.
tuned they can put out 140hp..the limited is the most luxury/heavy version of the F3.. the F3-S is a better comparison if you want sporty, but they need a rear shock upgrade and it's geared to be quicker..
That's just what I found with research! Everyone is going to be different, and real life could be different, but that's not my number, that's what various sites stated for that time.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed After many miles…Many Miles, I hit the curves and twisties like a banshee. 25 MPH curves at 60+, twisties at a similar uptick. There are so many methods and techniques to play with that I virtually take each one using something different from the last. Trail braking works like mad even though the brakes are linked. I hope you guys can find the time to find out what these machines are capable of. Many Can Am riders never get it. I hope y’all do. Best!
You don’t have to be rich to afford this. No different than a $30K car. Obviously a car is more practical but the same principles apply for the $30K price tag. Just be smart with saving vs spending and you can make it happen.

It was definitely a cool experience! Might have to get one in the future so the wife can drive if she wants!
Summertime fun!!! Just cruise all day!!!! ( That's kind of a tiny windshield glad it makes a difference!) Awesome Brian! Glad you're gonna buy one!
It’s actually a big windshield! Like 2ft tall! Makes a big difference!

Nice video. Thank you for posting.
Thanks for watching!
I have 2021 F-3S and love it! This will be my second with it! Come on Spring! 😉👍🏻
Great video. I love my Ryker. My wife lover her Spyder RT Limited.
Thanks for sharing! These are fun to ride!
I have seen Can Am bikes being daily driven, these look fun to drive.
It’s a lot of fun to ride for sure!
Nice vídeo , thanks for sharing:)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video
Thanks!
Great review
Awesome explanation. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed this video!
Information I got from a can am dealer ship in Edmonton, a cam am spyder will fit in a half ton truck, with a 6ft box.
That’s impressive if true! Have to double check the width!
Probably not considering the fact that the bike is 9 ft long. 😮

@@chuckkelley5894 I have a 2023 F3 L Special Series on order. Trading in my 2021 RTL. The F3 is a dolphin. The RT is a whale.
Is that the stock exhaust on there ?
It is!
Beauty!
Yeah this is a cool bike!
I am definitely going to get one. I like the one you are riding and it is going to be between that and a 2021 F3s manual.
Nice! This was a fun bike to ride! Very comfortable!
There are no manuals, in Canada anyway. Check again.
@@johncantelon7071 I’ve seen some in the states!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed what models, what years?
No need to apply the brake when starting if in neutral. You do need to put light pressure on the brake when you shift into R or 1st.
You can’t start this bike in neutral, I tried.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I have owned 2 F3Ls and 2 RTLs. From model year 2012 to 2021 and they all started in neutral without foot brake applied.
@@johncantelon7071 From the safety features I saw and tried, the brake needs to be on. At least that’s the feature on this particular bike.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I think I know what’s happening - you shut it off in gear so it’s in gear when you turn the key back on. Shift to N before you turn it off as advised in the manual.

It’s definitely a cool trike to ride! Very comfy!
Please explain to me how you get it to do 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds.
That's just what I found with research! Everyone is going to be different, and real life could be different, but that's not my number, that's what various sites stated for that time.
All day every day. If you own one and you're not realizing similar numbers it's either a skills issue or you need your vehicle serviced.
It's pretty accurate. I have a Pedal Box on mine so it gets there faster.
I’ve seen a reliable time of 4.3.
How does the overly dark windscreen affect your night driving?
Its not overly dark at all, its a light clear tint..but I just rode it for this review, it wouldn’t effect night driving with how light it is..
And nice bike...
They haven’t offered a manual for a few years.
Certain models still offer the manual.
To Bros Fourr; Think Go Kart not motorcycle and it'll all begin to come together. I have an RT Ltd and it took me 5-6000 miles to dial it in.
Yeah! For this quick ride, very odd from two wheels but not bad!

I'd buy one if they were $10K cheaper. Must be nice to be rich to afford cool toys like these.

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Maybe if Trump were President I would, but we've got grandpa in chief causing a lot of instability in the market. No thanks.
haha one day our country will bounce back from these bad economic times. Crazy how bad things got in just a few years!
So this is like a scooter?
My version of a scooter is a Vespa, so not even close lol!
a scooter that can cruise 100mph..its more like a 3 wheel Goldwing as they come with automatic DCT transmissions now..
Yeah, like a Goldwing DCT is like a scooter.
Did you have to take a bike class to be able to drive it legally?
I have my motorcycle license. That’s all you need.
First 🥇
Nice bike btw the president of the Philippines prrd use that bike
Thanks for checking out this Can Am Spyder review!
@@princejantimothysandiego7665 That’s pretty cool to hear!
R they better made then the ryker is
Definitely
@@jDot2414 that's a plus because the ryker sucks I have one
Loved your review except the comment that u have to push the brake down as hard as u can to start it simple mistake I know but not true great review
It didn’t work otherwise, that’s what I experienced.
Idk this trim looks weird
There are more sporty trim levels like the RS, this is the touring so has all the luggage space which you don’t have to get.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yes, RS looks much better
@@skidhvh I like the function of the space though!
Betty nass.
Not sure what that means lol, but it’s a cool can am!
111 inches, that's 9ft 2. Long, 69 inches wide that's over 5ft. Not true.
Ahh yeah, it’s a big machine for the bed of a truck!
Signals self cancel. Know the bike before you review it please.
When did I say there weren’t?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed In your review.
I don't think it's his bike he said he was thinking about buying one
@@BrosFOURRSpeedaround 11.35
I did watch another review and the beer user said they were quite temperamental at times so perhaps not working fully
