    BRP Spyder Can-Am

    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.
