Faults:

One week after purchase, a part came off. The bike also went into Limp Home Mode and had to be towed. Ran well after, and recently had problems and had to be towed again. The bike doesn't want to back up, revs high, shuts itself off while riding, and when this happens, you can't steer. In the shop for the past week. Seat started pulling apart and was covered under warranty. Most current problems started two months after the warranty was up.

I have physical limitations, which don't allow me to ride a two wheeler any more, and I thought this would be answer. Overall, if these problems are worked out with BRP and the dealer, I would purchase another product in the future, but maybe not this particular model.

General Comments:

I like the way bike handles in the rain. I can put a passenger on without any problems.

Faults:

I have not had any issues with it.

However it does need a larger fuel tank and more accurate fuel gauge. This machine should have at least a 200 mile range; some places where we travel, we have to carry a gallon of fuel with us.

General Comments:

The motorcycle is very quick and stable, and handles very well.

It is very comfortable for two people; the air ride absorbs the bumps very well.

I like the semi automatic transmission and the smooth way it works.

We bought it so my wife would ride again; she has neck trouble and the rear of a motorcycle was too rough for her. She has no problem on the back of the Spyder.

Faults:

Keeps getting a "check engine" warning dozens of times.

Has gone into limp mode several times.

Replaced the throttle body a couple of times.

Front tires wear unevenly.

General Comments:

In the maintenance shop a lot

Not reliable on long trips; the bike went into limp mode while on a trip, and the dealership had to pick it up.

Faults:

Had two throttle bodies go out. One at 847 miles, and one later.

Had the DPS and VSS codes come on at different times.

Had limp mode come on several times.

General Comments:

This trike has helped get me through a rough time in my life.

I've never had a big bike, and I learned how to ride this in a short time, and was comfortable in doing so.

It gets a lot of attention from everyone, including other bikers.

I'm 70 and have friends in their 80's riding and loving it. They feel safe and comfortable.

Faults:

Auto locking glove box does not lock; from day one.

General Comments:

This Can Am handles great, good acceleration and stopping distance.

Looks are way cool.

However, upgrades are expensive, and many should have been standard from the factory.

Faults:

CB radio has a lot of noise when transmitting. So bad that those I ride with do not want me to talk, since they cannot understand me unless the Roadster is not moving. This is a Can-am radio, dealer installed on my RTS.

General Comments:

Hard to let go of my Harley mentality, but once I did, I found the Spyder FUN, FUN, FUN, and no worries about dumping it in a gravel parking lot.

Love the heated grips.

Due to a disability, the driver pegs caused pain in my left foot. Added full length floor boards - problem solved.
