yo Brad, he has had this bike WELL over a year, and he has 150 miles on it, lol, i think he just bought it because he knew no one else around here would have one. He also installed the Ducati racing exhaust system on it, $5,000 :o

Nice

LOL Brad, to be honest, i'd be scared to death on a bike like this. The most powerful street bike i have ever ridden, was my pop's old Honda CB550 Honda,lol. The most insane bike i have ever ridden was a buddies old KX250 Motocross bike. If you have ever ridden a 2 stroke dirt bike, especially a motocross bike, you know what the engines "hit" is. This bike had an INSANE hit. It had a powerband more like a 125, where all the power came on at once. It damn near threw me off the back, lol

lol, yup thats a powerfull 2-stroker for ya! ive ridden a few motocross bikes, with a nice tuned pipe and good cylinder head they can hit HARD! (i did fall off one once, wasnt ready for it, dont tell anyone) the busa i rode was pretty damn strong, stock i think its 170-180hp, his has a full exhaust, powercamander(for fuel injection tuning) and a few other mods, his busa is probably pushing around 200 or so. funny thing was, my superhawk(1000cc v-twin like the ducati) was stronger than the busa everywhere but up top in the rev-range, i just love how the power comes on with a v-engine configuration. its funny were talking about 2-strokes, the original engine for 1.06 reminded me of a powerfull 2 stroke in certain ways, especially how the power would hit. remember, 2-strokes rule: because 1 isnt enough, and 4 wastes (2) many :) i really had hoped that the maturing of direct injection technology would save the 2-stroke, theoroetically it should solve the emission problems, but alas they are still banned as of this year or next year in usa :(

You guys like bike. This is not a bike, not realy a roadster even if they call it like that. For those who cant afford a roadster and are scared of driving a bike, it seem a nice option. Around 18 000$ CDN, just a little more than a bike.

Its built by a company named Bombardier, they make Snomobile and SeaDoo (also airplane, jet and train).

Click on the Spyder at right.
