Can-Am Spyder

Describing the three-wheeler as part motorcycle and part convertible sports car, the Spyder's chassis consists of a center steel beam that Can-Am dubs "Surrounding Spar Technology," and the company claims that it has nominal weld points for greater structural integrity. Its 106-horsepower powerplant is a Rotax 990cc V-Twin liquid-cooled mill with double overhead cams. The five-speed tranny can be ordered with optional push-button shifting, and it includes a reverse gear to give the trike better maneuverability. At a claimed dry weight of 697 lbs, this will come in handy when backing out of parking spaces.
