Can Am Spyder

I saw one of these at a car show. With a 1L Rotax motor this thing should fly.

It looked like a Snow mobile body with wheels for skids and a rear tire instead of a track. It has a foot shift tranny but also comes with an automatic.

For $15,000 I think it would be fun to borrow one but too $$$ for me, Or maye a used on in a few years.

I have started to notice some lower displacement knock offs but doubt that they have the safety built in.

here is a review of it: http://www.davepit.com/test-driving-the-3-wheeled-brp-can-am-spyder/

Just thought it looked cool.

There's a dealership for these in NE Portland. They look like something Batman would drive.
