I have to agree with Paul’s dad: I’ve been telling people for the last 8 years that the pillion seat on the Spyder is more comfortable than any chair in my house! And when she is headed to visit a friend, they always ask her to bring an extra helmet, ‘cause they always want to go for a ride!

In reply to John Weiss. It’s not possible to cause a crash by ‘over-leaning’ into a curve on a Spyder. Not gonna happen. They’re crazy stable in turns with the two wheels up front, where over-leaning could possibly cause a problem on a conventional trike, with two wheels in the rear, I suppose.

Thank you for thoughtful review. My wife bought her 2022 S2S while on a trip, after her triglide beat her up. No test ride, just decided she needed a Spyder for comfort. My ‘20 F3 riding behind me one time, did the only convincing she needed.
Note, at about 15k smiles my mileage rose from 35,5 to 39,5. Downshifting is better for mileage, these engines like to rev! Triple digits, no problem, even on the 2008 with a “Walker” strapped behind me, 990 vtwin. I’ve laid rubber with my ‘20 F3 L SE6
On dry clean pavement, by accident pulling into traffic. My Harley trike would have just pushed the front straight. So, yes, I’ve put thousands on but types of trikes.

Wow, what an amazing father you have! At first I was just skimming what he wrote but then I caught the gist of what he was writing and went back and devoured every word. What a wordsmith! Very impressive. Thanks for sharing.

I currently have the 2023 sea to sky and I also bought the 5 year extended warranty because I was told that there are 6 computers on this machine. I originally had a 2016 I believe it said F3 touring! I bought it used with 26000 miles on it and loved it so much I traded it in on the 1 I now have. I
purchased it on August 30th and got home with it showed my significant other what I had bought needless to say she wasn’t very happy until she rode with me. She absolutely loved it this was her 1st time ever on a bike.

In reply to Bruce Brown. Bruce, thanks for the comments. I felt like his input definitely adding to the review beyond what I could have said alone, so I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I will pass it along. I haven't given up on trying to get him on something else with me in the future (if he feels comfortable enough), so stay tuned!

This review has been the most enjoyable in a lot of years, thanks to your Dad. His prose gives a new meaning to the experience of riding on a motorcycle. I would LOVE to have your Dad write a “follow-up” to every review. Not that you are a bad reviewer, this just brings new meaning to “riding a motorcycle”. Great Job!!

I’m thinking of moving to a three-wheeler. After doing some research on the Can Am Spyder, I’ve narrowed my choices to a Harley or Gold Wing trike. Online forums often have discussions about problems, but the Spyder has much more than I care to consider.
