Checked out the touring version of the Spyder at Bikes, Blues and BBQ last month in Fayetteville. Gloria liked it a lot. She said it had very comfortable seating, nice upright riding position and she liked the semi-automatic transmission. Can Am raised the front to give more room in the front trunk, added a set of saddle bags and a rear trunk. Seems to have more storage than our 1500 'Wing. There would be one in the garage if the 'Wing wasn't paid for, and we had $28,000 USD (minus trade for a 1995 GW1500SE MotorTrike)
Looks to be a capable touring platform, but I think it would be behind our current ride for the distance trips we take now. We would have to add an intercom, radio, CB (I am surprised at how handy a CB is while touring) extra power points, and the power of a 1500cc engine. We pull a Bunkhouse camper - wondering if the Spyder's frame and motor could handle it.
Would be interesting to try!
