BRP Spyder Can-Am

[Gt1Street]

Technically its a motorcycle, but its still kinda cool and in between

Introducing the Can-Am Spyder.
Nothing you’ve experienced prepares you for the thrill of hitting the open road astride a Spyder™ roadster.
Its revolutionary 3-wheeled stance alters the chemistry between vehicle and asphalt.
Leaving riders forever changed by what can only be described as the Y-Factor.

/ skeleton /
Spyder is built around a Surrounding Spar Technology (SST™) frame, featuring a minimalist steel center beam, surrounding the engine.
It minimizes weld points for greater structural integrity.
This light and slim frame provides a low center of gravity to enhance stability and handling.

/ muscle /
Fluid motion stems from the smooth 5-speed gearbox created specifically for the Spyder. It features a true mechanical reverse.
An optional thumb-shift sequential electronic transmission offers even greater ease of use.
The final beltdrive provides ultra-smooth gearing and easy maintenance.

/ heart /
Providing life under the hood is a Rotax® 990cc, V-twin liquid cooled engine.
It delivers a strong push and responsive acceleration throughout the power band.
Advanced features include double overhead cams and a
state-of-the-art electronic fuel management system.

/ nervous system /
Spyder senses its surroundings utilizing multiple on-board
Electronic Control Units (ECUs).
These sophisticated systems monitor a broad range of functions, from wheel slippage to digitally encoded security information.

Technically it's a trike.

I think it looks pretty cool. It reminds me of the T-Rex.
