Can-Am Spyder Rolls Forward

On September 14, the first Can-Am Spyder for the 2008 model year was produced in Valcourt, Quebec. And it's set for Jay Leno's personal collection. The Canadian "bike" made by Bombardier sports 2 wheels up front and one in the rear. When it first arrived in the press it garnered much attention, but that's waned somewhat since then. Now that the actual production bikes are ready to be picked up by the long list of eager buyers, it will be interesting to see if that hoopla was justified. As the Baby Boomer generation of motorcyclists age, the Spyder is one of a number of rides that will fit the bill for people who won't be as strong or sure-footed as they once might have been. The inherent stability coupled with good power and handling should aid the Spyder in it's domination over the sidecar and trike markets.
