I wonder, is any of the chrome transferable? That's sweet, kinda vanilla, but sweet.

Two reasons for the white.
1. living on a dirt road if you don't touch it you don't see the dirt
2. I don't have to paint the Bushtec cause it already matches.
Didn't really want the chrome but it was a better deal to get the limited with the options than get the S model and add options..

Did a couple hundred miles today. I'm getting to be better friends with the spyder. It takes a careful touch to get around corners gracefully and mid course corrections are kinda scary. The trip back to the homestead was much better. A few more thousand miles and I may get the hang of it. It really needs the after market sway bar but the farkle bucket only has dust in it after this weeks foolishness.
Yeah it takes a bit to get used to the new riding style... I've got about 70K on them and I think I'm finally getting the hang of it.

Lots of good feedback online about the aftermarket sway bars.
"I've got about 70K on them and I think I'm finally getting the hang of it." That is a steep learning curve!

Front wheels appear to tilt. Could be a far different ride than the Spyder.
CanAm also filed a patent for a tilting-wheel design but it will probably be awhile before it comes to market... the Honda model above is still a concept bike at the moment... plus, looking at it, not sure how comfortable it would be for long distance touring... but definitely keeping an eye on it!
