New Can Am?
This was sitting in front of the local indy. Saw it as I was picking up some antifreeze. I suppose it's the new Can Am. I think I'd like it better without the trunk but I guess it gets the job done.

Monkeyman, I had the chance to drive one this past February in Daytona. It didn't do anything for me. I didn't like the way you steered. I found my kegs were cramped up. Just my 2 cents worth.

I think they're nice and pretty well built, but they just keep making them bigger and heavier without increasing the power.
I rode one two years ago and it was marginal at best. This big beast has got to be a real dog. Looks good though.

Wifes Can Am is a hot bike, it moves like a bat out of hell. Hers has a hell of alot of power.
She can run twisties faster and tighter than I can on my Nomad. Handles and rides more like a sport bike than you would ever think. |

I had no intention of buying it for any number of reasons. It reminds me of Lightning McQueen in the movie Cars. I just happened to see it so I thought I'd share some pics.

zero to 60 in 4.5 seconds... And "yes" the RTS is the large bagger Spyder... Just saying. Try to keep up with one sometime. Difficult to do unless you have a hot street bike. Sorry, but the thing is anything but a dog...
