Yeah, not many 70+ on SS, but I did meat this older English gentleman last summer on a daytona 675. He was 72 I believe!

The Rise in Popularity of the CanAm Spyders?!
- Thread starter kiwi
- Start date
I still ride big bikes but:
I demo'd one at Mosport driver development track this spring. It was fun but I was still thinking bike in my head. I felt like I was going to fall off at high speed. I actually imagined myself as a cartoon character with my hands on the bars and the rest of my body flapping at a 90 degree angle. They let you try all models and were nice people.
If I couldn't ride a proper motorcycle for any reason I'd get one of these. I would support a Canadian company first, maybe the Victory slingshot second.

Oh come on. Why would anyone want to buy a Jap bike imitator when the real thing can be had?

We have 1. The only thing you're going to miss is the small size of a bike and the leaning, but you will get added comfort and safety. I have no issues riding one.

Nice! I'm going to diy a 3 wheeler from a Miata. Gonna ujoint a steering wheel to the middle, sit high on a stack of telephone books and remove one of the rear wheels. Haven't decided which one yet. Stay tuned.
You'll fit right in at Port Dover.
My cousin now rides a Spyder, not sure why she made the switch after 20 years of two wheels
That's enough to do it for some people, from a safety perspective. No question you're seen better on something bigger like a Spyder
