Seeing The Can-Am Spyder Live, Up Close, In Person

Can-Am Spyder Roadster: Innovative Design and Engineering


Over the weekend, while driving around downtown D.C., I saw this lady who was driving this vehicle. I wasn't sure what it was but it looked vaguely familiar to a futuristic looking bike I saw at the Motorcycle Show that swings through town every year.

At the next red light, we finally got close enough to see the lettering on the side which simply read "Can-Am Spyder". Yeap, that was the one!

Seeing it being driven in person is pretty incredible. It looks like a motorcycle of the future and so cool to drive. It also looks like it handles like a dream by the way she was handling it.

Had to look it up when I got home! Starting price: $15,499 - Yow! ;)
