- I had the opportunity to ride the latest Can Ams up at Area 27. First time ever the track has had three wheels. Was it fun? Thanks to Greater Vancouver Powersports for providing the Can Ams.
I sneered at the Can Am for years. Then the F3 came out. Hmm.....then the F3S Roadster came out. I currently own an F3S and a Honda VTX 1800. Love em both for different reasons. Very different machines, glad to have both. 🤘
Two great machines!
Thanks for the video. I always wanted to see the Spyder on the track.
me too lol #vincode17
Nice! Love the apex cones and entrance markers
Love my f3 limited!!! Awesome vehicle, I get so much attention and questions. Another thing is that there are so many ways to customize it. If you're thinking about getting one...DO IT.
you still that F3 limited? #vincode17
@@VinCode17 sure do, will keep it until the wheels fall off...still love it
@@christyler331 🔥💪 i got myself a used 2016 Spyder Rss im having a hard time falling in love with it. 🤪 i just ordered a slip on exhaust im hoping to wake it up, its my last attempt at love with it 😂. Glad to hear your still enjoying your F3.
Great video, first time seeing them on the track, cheers
same I seem the on the road all the time but this was a treat #vincode17
What’s faster around the track, the Riker or the F3?
It would really depend on the rider. While the Ryker has a smaller engine it is lighter. The F3 is stronger but heavier. Tough call… more research needed :D
I am a bigger guy myself and think I would also be more comfortable on a Spyder. However, I really like the look of the Ryker and it’s much more affordable. The price of the Spyders puts me off.
Once you add bags to the Ryker the size increases and you won’t look so big on it. I like the Ryker better as it’s more nimble. The 900cc has very close acceleration and speed to the Spyder.
I have a f3 limited. I'm 6' 1" 220 lbs. The f3 is a better and more comfortable choice for big guys, you also have more power than the Ryker (1330cc engine on the f3).
I have a F3S and I cant push myself that hard to ride. You got skill. I’m just chicken.
I noticed the Spyder you rode was a F-3 standard..the base model....I would like to see you do another run...but..on a F-3 Sport with upgraded shocks...sway bar.. exhaust...and a ECU tune...and give a review...that would be interesting to see.
I did have an F3S but couldn’t get it to the track in time. I agree it would have been great have that out there. Taking the traction control off would have been great. However the three wheels does limit you’re traction. It’ll never be able to corner as good as four or two wheels.
Well, that was fun... That inside front wheel lifting in the corners must take some getting used to. I wonder what a model a Ford grill and hood would look like on the front of the RYKER, a little custom touch?
You would need someone to Photoshop that Grill. Add a few different angles too.
I need to take my spyder rt 2020 on track like this.
It’s an experience! But tough to find a track that allows them. They don’t fit with cars or motorcycles on the track.
Would’ve loved to see the Ryker view of the Spyder. I still like the Spyder over the Ryker, the comfortability and customization on the Spyder are endless and they look good- really haven’t found a customized Ryker to change my mind lol, great vid thx
It’s there later in the video
Look for the camo tank...
I could change you mind! I’ve got a Gold Chrome Ryker! Check out the vid on my channel
That spyder F3 is a beauty, I'm still on the fence over which one i wanna get though that's why I'm doing research
You can’t go wrong with either one but the the size difference is the biggest. Price too
wonder if you could install the passenger foot pegs in the lowest position and use them to lean your butt into corners like ATV/Snowmobiles do
Interesting idea but the three wheels just can’t distribute the weight properly.
Cool video! At 53, 6’5”, and 240# I believe the spyder would probably be a better choice for me. Not really sure, never ridden before but it has been on my wish list for well over 40 years. When I was younger, getting my career off the ground always seemed to be my focus, then as I got older couldn’t get into the 3-day course, always booked up. Now as a live in caregiver for both my parents, I can’t take the time away from the house to do it. Someday before it’s too late I’d really like to try it and see if I’d enjoy riding as much as I think I would.
Hey Rick. You’d fit the Spyder much better. If you can manage the time off, come on out. If not, they’ll always be riding later on. It’s not going anywhere.
Lee RideFar Thank you so very much Lee! Yeah I thought watching the video it appeared I would fit the Spyder the best. Unfortunately I don’t live anywhere near there, I live in a very rural part of Michigan, a couple hundred miles from the nearest city so it makes getting into a program very difficult. Thank you again and I’ll keep enjoying your fantastic videos!
Get the f3 limited. It's fully loaded with options, plenty of customization options. I'm 59 6'1 220lbs. I mulled around about getting a spyder RT, but it looks too bulky. The f3 is the best looking spyder, it has more of a sporty/cruiser/bagger look.
Chris Tyler thanks Chris, I appreciate the help!
F3 can be had with a 6 speed manual...
Hey, So I had a ryker 900 and sold it last year but I want to get back in to can am. Would you recommend a spider or a ryker for more track use and twisty roads
No. The physics of three wheels on spirited cornering isn’t enjoyable. It’s an easy going machine that prefers straight line acceleration or speed.
Cool video
Bought a 2019 f3s last yr. Love ma baby. I just haven't pushed it to max speed due to fear of getting spotted by the cops lol. What was max speed you touched.
I believe 150kmh. Three wheels isn’t comfortable to ride at high speeds.
@@leeridefar oh I'm familiar. I only touched 107mph
Why not put a Honda DCT on a Spyder?
I keep saying that lol if HONDA took that DCT and made a 3 wheel vehicle Canam would be in trouble lol. #vincode17
Pretty cool. So do you teach Ryker classes at your Richmond location?
Just Coquitlam
@@leeridefar Okay, thanks.
And your MST testings are held at (weekends)?????
Power to weight seems pretty close.
They’re pretty even but in a full throttle acceleration the bigger engine of the Spyder still wins.
yup they both have an equally terrible power to weight ratio compared to all but a bloated harley.
Power to weight doesn't matter when the gearing is too tall to efficiently use the power it has
Do you need a m1 license to ride the ryker
Most likely but I don’t live where you do. I find it easiest to call a dealer rather that your licensing office. They’ll know and no wait time on hold.
Google the state . Nc .no .😊
Miles or kilometres?
Kilometres
The worst thing about these things is they're underbuilt and not performance minded in any way. I would love for them to build one worthy of a corner or a straight
The physics of three wheels really works against you in higher speed corners. Yamaha addressed this with the Yamaha Niken. So that would be your cornering performance three wheeler.
@@leeridefar Have you ridden the Niken? My Spyder RTS just died a horrible fiery death and I was considering a Niken GT as a replacement for it. I would be curious to hear your thoughts on the Niken.
@@elbowsout6301 I have not. They’re pretty rare so I have not been able to get my hands on one. They are heavier which is ok since you’re coming from a Spyder. The telescoping wheel will require you to retrain yourself on riding. If you’re a motorcycle rider, no problem. If you haven’t ridden a motorcycle you’ll need to get used to counter steering. It’s a Yahama so it will be quality so if you get one. Let me know!
