2010 BRP Can-Am Spyder RT-S Review: Quirky Three-Wheeler Gets the Touring Treatment
Wednesday September 16, 2009
Remember when the Can-Am Spyder RS was new on the scene? Its two front wheels and funky bodywork sure turned heads, and two years later, it... uh, still doesn't blend in.
The new 2010 RT and RT-S touring versions add another dimension to the trike, with larger footprints, hard cases galore, and an available trailer that gives them more cargo capacity than a Jeep Compass or Nissan Rogue.
I spent a couple days testing this oddball tourer through Quebec, Canada, and address its pros and cons in this 2010 BRP Can-Am Spyder RT-S Review.

As I’ve said before, not my cup of tea, but since I just turned 49, I’m glad companies are working on the three wheelers. Not going to be able to toss around and 800 lb two wheeler forever.
Any more word from Yamaha about the Tesseract concept?
Scottie,
You’re right– there’s a huge need for these types of vehicles, and they’ll only get better and more refined as development progresses.
I haven’t heard anything about the Tesseract… but I did get some interesting embargoed information from Ducati today! But mum’s the word until September 23…
