Phillip Island MotoGP to Feature BRP's Can-Am Spyder Roadster Demo Rides!

The company is based just up the road from me in Canada, but the US rounds of the MotoGP series did not feature Spyder demo rides...You Aussie's, and others who will attend the Iveco Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix, will have a chance to join "The Spyder Experience"...you lucky bas....!

First Ride of Can-Am Spyder RT

Well, we knew it was coming and it is already doing the press tour in which the various moto-journalists take it out for a test ride. Seems that Can-Am did take the time to make this a viable touring platform; stronger brakes, ABS, traction-control. etc. have all been fit onto the three-wheel machine. These things are just incredible - performance, fit & finish, build quality, handling, FUN, - and I want one!

Can-Am Produces a Touring Model Spyder

Since this machine hit the streets, I have been wanting to test ride one. Having seen several on the roads here in Oregon and a few of them parked around Laguna Seca, I thought how awesome it would be to have a touring version. Well, Can-Am has had accessories which would add to the abilities of their other Spyder models - but this is a full-blown tourer! They even have a trailer for it...

Consumer Reports Looks at Piaggio Scooters

I have been a fan on Consumer Reports since I was young and my father subscribed to it - I have been a subscriber now for some 12+ years. Not everything they publish is to be taken as gospel, but they are the only truly independent consumer research publication. However, for years I asked them to look into doing reviews of motorcycles or scooters. It seems that the increase in two-wheeled buyers has finally pushed them to start reporting on the industry (YEAH!).

This link will take you to the Piaggio entry in their blog: http://tinyurl.com/lnzyht

There are some 'related' articles listed at the bottom of the page which will take you to reviews of the Aprilia Mana, Can-Am Spyder and the Piaggio MP3.

Please visit the site and help encourage them to continue looking at this industry.
