      I've never seen one in person, only the commercial eight hundred thousand times.

            They ban the 3 wheel ATC back in 1988 I think it was. But put the one wheel in the back, plus make it a street bike, and it is safe to ride? It is probably better balanced, but it is just funny to me.

              Someone in my neighborhood has one. I prefer two wheels. I have heard that it is impossible to flip over, some kind of weight balance. Also, I think I heard it is (or can come with) an automatic transmission. Could be a selling point to some people.

                It's also shorter. My wife who is 5'2" has one cause she doesn't have to try to hold it up at lights.

                      Don't do it. When I first saw it I thought, "how stupid". Then began to consider giving one a try until every single woman I quizzed said "Those look like bikes for really old people". Pretty much the end of consideration

                        Probably wouldn't get much street cred with the tricycle

                            i like how in the commercials they show the Can Am riders and traditional motorcycle riders waving at each other as they pass by, like they are saying the two wheel riders "accept" these Can Ams.

                              can am spyder is junk. get something japanese, trust me. I have been working with motorcycles since I was 9 years old. the complaint that I regularly hear about the can ams are finding someone to work on it if you don't live near a dealer. second biggest complaint is when sitting on it, the handlebars block the view of mirrors.
                              seriously, ask me anything about a bike, but I wouldn't recommend a canam

                                They look fun....apparently production was delayed about 4 years while they engineered there balance/flip over tendency.
                                I'd love to buy one...although the price is pretty steep....28-30K for the high end model

                                  21k+ is an expensive "toy". Looks like a blast though.
