The rear tire would be constantly searching back and forth as the road crowns and heaves. Going through turns, it leans the wrong way and the steering was so heavy it wasn't funny.

It is not a bike, and not a trike, it is a raging POS.

It's an ugly Turd that they put Three wheels on...
So No its not a bike

Is a victory???

I'd like to see them use canam as a stepping stone to building sportbikes.

Damn it! I can't edit on my phone. I was thinking Polaris, instead of Bombardier .

Victory bikes are motorcycles. Damn nice ones at that.

Tmall · 07-29-2009, 05:25 PM

Yup. And I was thinking the canam was made by polaris.

Which was my way of saying, I'd like to see a victory sportbike.

Gas Man · 07-29-2009, 05:26 PM

I think you're right on both counts!!

They're definitely strange, but it's not all bad. A lot like riding a dual sport after proper sportbikes- feels goofy as hell, but it's fun once you get used to it. Personally, I would like to see some changes made to the spider to make it more sportbike-rider-friendly.

They could start by giving us a handlebar mounted brake lever!!
Then lower the handlebars a touch, get rid of the ATV style footpegs... should I go on?
