All,
I'm now north of 50, married, with kids finally moving out of the house. The family van is ready for retirement, so I'm thinking of a fun vehicle for commuting to work (about 10 miles daily) and the occasional "fun" ride down the Colonial Parkway with my wife. I used to ride a Kawasaki 305 back in my 20's, but gave it up when I got married (yeah, I know, whipped).
Anyway, the Can-Am caught my attention as an "alternative" bike. I like quite a few of the features as well as the "quirkiness". I believe I could talk my wife into riding it with me. "If Momma's happy..."
Thinking of arranging a test ride before I seriously start pursuing the idea. Looking for comments/opinions, especially technical/maintainence/safety. I know, a Can-Am is not a real motorcycle, it's a crutch for those who can't or won't ride a real bike. Nevertheless, looking for input, especially from Can-Am riders.
Yup

It was published later that it was a Spyder.
My only real point was it is really nothing like a motorcycle.

Don’t ask me why, but that is funny.
Be safe out there.
