Article comments for First Drive: 2008 BRP Can-Am Spyder Grand Sport Roadster - The Can-Am Spyder is a strange-looking vehicle, and when we had a test ride on the West Coast of Florida just south of the Kennedy Space Center, there were questions. Always questions. (more)

When you fill out the pre order worksheet they ask what color Spyder you want and what size jacket you wear.
#49 of 63 Spyder first impressions by spyder08driver Jun 29, 2007 (4:54 pm)
I plopped down my $1000.00 sight un-seen on this incredible new product back in April. After nearly 40 years riding Bombardier products I wouldn't hesitate a moment in recommending them. I got my first ride last Saturday at my dealer in upstate NY. The two demo units they had have 5000 plus miles on them and He told us that they haven't had to do anything to them except fill it with gas. Needless to say the ride was fantastic. All the power you can use and quite possible more braking than you'll ever need. It was very responsive in corners and felt fairly light for it's 700 plus pounds. I know the motorcycle guys are going to diss this new abomination of the road, but it's not targeted at them so who cares. I've been looking for something to extend my snowmobile season for years, and holy you know what, here it is. My jacket has already come in and Ive received it from my dealer. It looks great and will cost around $200.00 according to my dealer to purchase.
#50 of 63 Spyder Jacket by barb36jack31 Jul 12, 2007 (4:46 pm)
Got my jacket although I am not due to get my Spyder until March, 2008! Great jacket and of fine quality. However I ordered an extra large thinking it might be skimpy, and it's a bit large for me. anyone out there wanting to swap a large for an extra large? No big deal. I'll just eat a few more pizzas!

Maybe a month or so. I understand the jackets are being shipped to all who have ordered a Spyder, Yours should be there any day. Jack H. Replies to this message: diggittt (Jul 13, 2007 8:31 pm)

Does anyone know when the electronic shifter will be available?
#55 of 63 Electronic Shift by zl1427 Jul 15, 2007 (7:13 am)
No "Offical" word from BRP as to when that feature will become available. The rumor mill has it...some time late in 2008.
#56 of 63 Another Web Site To Visit by zl1427 Jul 15, 2007 (7:17 am)
Some of you may want to check out a site that has abit more info on the Spyder. http://www.can-amtalk.com/forums/index.php?showforum=29. It's Can-AmTalk.com and all they discuss are Can-Am products...including the new Spyder.
#57 of 63 Test Rides by snapcracklepop Aug 11, 2007 (5:32 pm)
How have the test rides been? This roadster looks really cool! I saw on the site that they are doing a huge tour right now - http://spyder.brp.com/en-US/TrySpyder/Take.The.Tour/Index.htm. Has anyone been to one or going to one soon? I am jealous of everyone who has pre-ordered thier Spyder - I can't wait to see them on the road!
