Can Am Spyder

Took one of those spyder's on a test drive a while back. I did it just to see what they were like. Also, because my girlfriend REALLY wants a sportbike but the idea of her on one scares the crap out of me. I thought it drove alot more like a harley than a sport bike and it didn't rev quick at all. The motor was the least impressive part about it. 106hp is usually a decent amount for a bike, but the can am is just to heavy to really have any performance. It could be pretty fun, but it just wasn't as impressive as I'd hoped.

We took one corner pretty quick and I had to lean in a little. You could probably corner pretty quick with it if you got used to throwin your weight around.

I think I'll just stick to my 450lb., two wheeled, 128 horsepower, kneedragger.

Those Mp3 things are all over France. I even saw women in high heels riding them around and dudes lane filtering like they have a death wish.
