To each his own. Is that thing ridin' on dubs?

Can't fully tell by the pic but the fab work looks real clean.

You know what's going to happen, we'll learn it was built for some poor bastard that lost a leg.

Don't like the dubs, but it looks all right, it's got a turbo too. Must be laggy with that much piping though.

I have to disagree. At least the Goldwing and Harley trikes have something bordering on practical. Things like comfort and storage space. That thing has neither. Not only that but it has even lost things like handling and performance.
But.....whatever makes him/her happy.

Looking at it; I doubt it can take a corner at speed. It seems almost pointless unless you like standing next to it or going down a dragstrip.

+1, I don't think you could turn a corner on that one. Looks like a stright line bike or show only. Maybe he just needed that much rubber to get the power down.

The wheels do look familiar though. I saw a set of those on a mid 90's Chevy (looked smaller than the Caprice, but maybe not) the other day, painted red with wide white racing stripes ... sitting a full foot off the ground so they would clear the fenderwells.

I've seen enough...MORE than enough!

Wouldn't worry too much whether it corners or not, stock busa's have a hard enough time taking corners at speed.

OK, so it was actually done to prevent the inevitible rear wheel failure...and the turbo is there to make sure it can keep pace with Harleys as loaded....




















DAMN!

Well that explains everything.

I was watching Super Bike! last night (because they were gonna show this awesome custom sportbike Michael Jordan had built) and they showed that thing. It was the Daytona episode.

28s I believe.

twin turbos running at 7psi.

he said they were custom one off wheels. forget what company in the back but PM in the front.

I wasn't really into it. but the custom MJ bike was SWEET. sounded freakin awesome too.

It's true. that bike was amazing, not bad for six figures and I'm glad it's not a trailer queen

i personally think its fugly.

what a waste of a 'busa....

I saw examples of both of these at Le Mans last week:

Specialist Cars, Trikes, Sports Car and Kit Car Manufacturer - Grinnall Cars
BRP Can-Am Spyder Roadster

The Grinnall is well-respected, the Can-Am a new venture. There were at least a dozen examples of the Can-Am Spyder there, clearly a club outing or for journalists. The two Grinnalls I saw were private individuals and I spoke to them, the Can-Am riders I didn't get chance to speak to.

+1 on the fab work. But I still think I puked a little in my mouth. Just not a concept I can get behind. But again - to each their own.

gt702

Those would be cool to watch circulate the track. For reference, the Can-Am isn't such a new venture. The name is freshly back, but the company is the same that makes SEA-DOO and SKI-DOO and the Spyder is engineered at the same site outside Montreal. I've seen a few running around the streets here in Michgan.

I want to try a Spyder, and I've been told the stability control system make them safe, but I've high-sided one of their SEA-DOOs pretty good the one time I've been out on those craft ... maybe it is just the loose nut behind the bars though

I saw one of those Can-Am deals in AZ. I turned away so the rider wouldn't see me laughing.
