Can Am Spyders, bike or not?

RACER X · 07-29-2009, 10:14 AM

do you consider a Can Am Spyder a "bike" ?

Survey says....

No.

I consider it a trike.

Bike = 2 wheels, with or without motor.
Trike = 3 wheels, with or without motor.

Just my take on it.

mine as well.

the prefix "bi" means 2.

That being said, they're still pretty freakin' cool.

It's a snowmobile with wheels... so it's definitely not a bike. I'd call it a trike.

NOT a bike. Fine for what they are and cool for anyone that rides them BUT definitely not a bike.

werd.

And for those who haven't had the displeasure of riding one? IT BLOWS! Seriously the most UN-fun thing I've ever attempted to ride.

I don't think it is a bike. But I have to say the time I spent on it was fun. Not 15 0r 16k worth of fun but fun none the less

Totally agree!!! It has a ton of safety software that sucks the very life out of the thing. Definitely boring!
