I am leaving here in about 45 minutes to pick up my new 2023 Can-Am Spyder RT Limited. I am very excited. I have been riding two wheels since 1971 and this will be my first three wheeler. I have a 2015 ElectraGlide Ultra Limited now, which is a great bike, but as I get older I notice that thing just gets heavier! At 73, I not ready to stop riding but I don't want to get hurt either, so the Can -Am looks like the way to go. Really appreciate your review, ride safe Brother!

I am 76 years old and I totally agree with you on a safe ride vs a higher risk ride. I love my Ryker Rally

In September I bought a new 2023 Can Am Spyder RT Limited and your videos sealed the deal for me when I was shopping in Austin, TX. Hit 1500 miles recently, have had NO problems and my wife and I are enjoying the heck out of it. I am a big guy with dropfoot on my left foot and so the bike has been a perfect fit for me, allowing me to bike, see the country and have fun. Thanks, Bob!

The tour pack is a big plus. Wife and I did a ten day ride and it was tight but we got everthing in the storage that we needed.

You represent BRP and the Spyder line so well. I am so happy that BRP is so cool with you being you and giving it to us straight. If I didn't already have one, you would have absolutely convinced me to buy a Spyder 10 times over. I'm going to miss Blue Belle but can't wait to see what's next! Also, heated grips on mine ae too hot even when it is 36 degrees 🥶

At my age 61 I still love riding my 2 wheel Road King Harley. But two years ago after becoming a subscriber of your channel I push the trigger and bought a 2020 RT Spyder Limited. Immediately I made a huge discovery.... My wife absolutely love riding with me as a passenger again. We have made some fun memories and planing many more as I am going to retired by the fall this year. The RTL is so easy to ride and lots of storage. I struggle a bit with the riding position been so straight. I find the F3 more likable similar of my Harley riding position. But I research the RTL is superior for passenger comfort long distance. I admit to think now and then on a Harley Tri glide. Such a gorgeous trike but for the next couple of years I am looking forward putting some miles on the RTL. Like always thank you for your knowledgable videos and advices. Maybe one day have a chance to meet you and lunch on me.

Love my 2022 RTL…so much fun. Honest review 👍

I bought a 23 Sea to Sky a month ago. I like the lowering windshield because on my 2011 RT, I’ve forgotten to lower the windshield when trailering the bike. I also had it broke down with a dead battery and couldn’t get power to it to lower the windshield to trailer it for repairs. I also agree with you keeping the helmet out of sight. I DO have a back trunk, and I keep my helmet inside it when parked.

Just watched your video! Sorry that you and coach VIC had to return BLUE BELL😢😢. YOU are my inspiration when things get a little tough!! I still plan on getting a 2024 spyder, just don't know when. My MOM passed away this past April, so my sisters are selling her house. Hope you and yourfamily are doing well this new year. Thank you for being such a tremendous Ambassador for all spyder riders!! Until next time, be safe out there!!🏍🏍🏍

Thank you, Johnny the Fox! CoachBob, sorry you are giving up Blue! Coach I'm happy owner of a 2022 RT Limited. I wish my RT had CarPlay. Working with BRP Go app and connecting with Cardo or Sena is painful. I don't understand way the BRP can't or won't update the software system via a firmware and bring the world up to speed with CarPlay. Thanks for continuing to share your Spyder experiences with us. Blessing to you and your family.

I bought a 2021 Spyder Roadster in Fall '2023. It's my, "Big Blue Machine" and has all the coolest upgraded heated seats, grips, compartments, ph holder, new rear tire. I have loved it. I really wanted to rent one but that wasn't possible in MA. I have had my fill and have it up for sale as of today.

As Shawn Smoak says as far as adding all the dress up lights to a Can Am ." It's your motorcycle not a Parade Float ."

Hey Coach Bob, after my beautiful white 2012 RT was written off in October I’ve bought myself a 2023 Spyder RT Ltd in Matt Black. It wasn’t brand-new, it had 750 miles on the clock. The dealer offered it to me with three years warranty, rise and lower bars and delivery to home. It has saved me nearly £8000 over buying a 2024 model. Of course I’m missing out on Apple CarPlay. So for another £169 I have added a CarPlay screen. £8000 is a lot of money and considering that there are no mechanical changes to the new model, I think I’ve done really really well. I am looking forward to putting a lot of miles on it this year and keeping a Vlog record of it. Man, this thing is a beast. The Can-am dealers here in the UK have proven to be outstanding so far. I’ll keep you up-to-date as to how it’s going. Love to you and Coach Vic and all of your wonderful family. Nathan, UK.

First week of April 2024, I will be receiving my Sea to Sky. I have been waiting for these upgrades and now it is time to ride until I drop. I look forward to seeing each of you on the road.

Thanks Coach! And thanks to Johnny the Fox and Tommy. I like your summary, Coach. If you want to have fun, be comfortable, and put the miles on, our Spyder is the best bike I’ve owned. Looking forward to your next adventure. Stay safe!

Great review! I have a 2021 RT Limited and added the Baja Ron sway bar…didn’t notice a significant difference. I also added sequential lighting to the front fenders and additional brake lights for the rear and these are DEFINITELY worth it! Truly enjoy your videos and hope to meet you someday at a Spyder event.

Very nice Bob! I love my F-3S but might have to upgrade to a 2024 with the Apple car play! Nice bike.

I pick up my 23Rtl a little over a month ago. I have over 430mi on it. I know that doesn't sound like much, but I live in CT, it's Jan !

I’m from Australia and I hope the RT , F3 family takes off here also . I’m counting my days to buy one . Thanks again to share all the information.

Wonderful informative honest video review. If you have done a video of your impressions between your 2019 RT and a 2020 and up, it would be cool if you had the link. If not, sure would be awesome some day to watch your comparison video. Keep on having fun!!! I recently purchased a 2020 RTL, my first 3 wheeler and I just love to ride it.

The windshield going up and down is nice because it allows you to put the cover on it easier.

Your videos convinced me to trade my Harley Tri-Glide for a Spyder RT Limited and I am LOVING IT. Thanks so much for your info, it was a big part of my decision process

Awesome. BTW. I love your channel.

As an owner of a 2021 RTS I (almost) totally agree with you. They are well put together machines. The steering is phonominal for almost all use cases. I did find that riding 2 up through Colorado twisties there was some slightly uncomfortable leaning. I added the Baja Ron sway bars and the difference was notable even on the streets. I normally farcle out a machine but found no need on the spider. A phone holder, trickle charge plug and rear seat armrests (and now Baja Ron) are the only mods I have found I need.

Awesome video! I just purchased a 2023 Can Am Spider RT in October and I love it.

Thank you Johnny the Fox, Tommy, and BRP for hooking Coach Bob up with this stellar ride!! His thoughts and insights into this vehicle are invaluable!❤👍

I currently have a 22 RT Limited and to be honest… the sway bar I had installed prior to going to the Tail of The Dragon 0 / 5 / 23 really wasn’t noticeable, actually I think I could have saved a chunk of change and not had it installed. With that said I have heard mentioned that there is a huge noticeable difference with older bikes. Note: I did drive my bike for about a year before the sway bar install.

I have the 22RTL and the seat heaters and passenger handles heat beautifully. I've done 6500 miles so far since Dec. 2022. Plans to tour the west central states in August.

Stops on a dime and turns on a dime! I absolutely love the baja ron swaybar...made a world of difference for me in the twisties. Have to disagree on this one with you. For me, this one of the most "bang for my bucks" upgrades, but that's my opinion. Absolutely agree with you on the lighting. For some reason, the F3 grips do not get as warm as the RT grips.

Hi coach, kind of disagree on changing out the sway bar as I have on my 2022 RT ltd as I was having issues with getting moved around by passing semi trucks & when being hit by cross winds . After changing it out it was like riding a different bike! Plus I do think BRP should think about getting rid of all the reflectors & changing them out for lights, the visual effects are great & really good at night! I just want to be seen by other road users for my own safety! Otherwise everything is awesome. Best regards Stephen Alberta Canada.

Awsome video. I own a 2019 Spyder RT and love it . Added LED lights based on your reviews. Bye Bye Blue Belle .

I totally agree. i put the lights that you mentioned on except for the back lights. I am working on those.

Love my 2016 RTS and I said good by to 2 wheelers when I got my 2011 RTS. Looking hard at the 2024 RT Limited.

I’m in Australia and brought a 2020 RT Ltd brand new. I love the Spyder and it makes travelling with my wife safe, comfortable and has plenty of storage. I’ve been bitterly disappointed with a few things including the rear trunk and seat struts failing within the warranty period, yet the dealer would only replace the struts the labour costs were on me. Side pannier cables seized and one snapped because they were not lubed during manufacture. Left hand side mirror loose, dealer said it normal and wouldn’t repair under warranty. Passenger seat turns off after 10 minutes, dealer said it’s functioning normally. Warranty (or lack there of) and after sales service has been a really bad experience for me. It’s a fantastic machine but severely let down by poor dealer service. Rant over, I’m heading back to the shed 👍

Now, go out and BUY the Spyder of your dreams! CB3 needs that ‘24 RTL

That was definitely a beautiful bike. Can am should let you give that one to a fan, or let you keep it.

Bought a 2022 Spyder RT base model in November 2023 and I'm loving it.

I throughly enjoy watching your videos. I don't own a cam am at the moment, however I'm looking to buy one in the next 3 mos.. my husband bought me a 2023 HD Freewheeler last year, my first ever experience with a motorcycle, and I'm not happy with it. My husband loves it but he has riden motorcycles all his life. I'm 72 and have a difficult time with the clutch lever and changing gears All the time. Up shifting and down shifting constantly . I either get cramps in my hands from the clutch or the brakes hand lever. It's just not for me. I think the Spyder would be perfect for me. I did test rode one and fell in love with it. My husband has a 23 RoadKing and wants me to have my own bike too. I wish we had known about the CamAm before he bought the Freewheeler. Thank you for the informational videos and your positive attitude about life in general. God bless you and your beautiful wife living your best life.

Thanks CoachBob3. I have n old spyder and I have learn a lot from your videos about the can am. Was a dream come true since I wear q prosthetic. it’s my first can am and hoping to get a new one later this year. Much blessings to u and ur family

On my 2022 RTL I’ve seen 34 MPG but only if I keep a constant speed around 55 to 60. If I do 70 - 80 on the interstate it starts sucking gas down.

Like Bob, I've pretty much owned or extensively ridden every frig'n bike or bike type out there and my go to is still my 2019 Spyder RT Limited. My current stable is a Ducati Diavel, an FZ1, an Enduro, and, of course, the Spyder. The FZ is 150 hp, the Diavel is 162 hp, the Enduro is for climbing walls, but it's the Spyder I Hooligan on. I've upgraded all the two wheelers out the wazoo but have only added a Baja Ron, and a Pedal Box to the Spyder. I hated that Spyder with a passion for the first many thousand miles, I bought it so my wife would ride with me. She won't get near a two wheeler. Anyway, around 6000 miles the Spyder and I started to become one with that beast and there are very few bikes/riders who can do what I can do through the mountains, and especially the twisties in Colorado. I am constantly experimenting with the Spyder and I am constantly amazed at what it can do. I can be in the mountains/twisties for 150 miles or so and use a different technique on each curve, never repeating a single one. That's just an example of how amazing these machines are. I urge you all to go out there, push yourself and learn what these can do.

Thank you Johnny the Fox for everything you have done for CB3 and the channel and for ANYTHING you might do in the future.

Hello Coach Bob i enjoy your shows very much i love the Spyder RT Limted and the F3 Limted . I live in Norway yes we have them in norway but not to menny there are two in the area wear i live but have not seen them around im a good boy from New york i had my licencs for car & motorcycle from 1978 im 64 now now i have two Maxie Scooters a 2020 Honda Forza 300 & 2022 Yamaha Tricity 300 it`s a trike two wheels in the front when rideing it its planted to the road the Tyicity 300 looks like the yaamaha X Max 300 but without the 2 front wheels i like the bike but i would feel better for longer rides along the cost to the north to north Norway and to Sweden nice long trips i would like to talk more well thank you hearing me Henning . Have a Great day

I agree with most of what you said. The Baja Ron sway bar makes a difference in handling that makes it a must for me. Going around trucks and high speed cornering on the interstate is more stable. Being in the foothills of nc I do some mountain riding also and it shines through there. Riding a 21 S2S

Love my 2021 RTL. Great and super fun machine. Thanks for the awesome and honest video!

How is the Arai helmet with the peak on the spyder, nice to see your reviews and all the comments on this new spyder and great content , agree that light should be upgraded a bit more for safety Alain & Yellow PS Thanks to the BRP can am team to give Coach Bob to ride these new machines and give is honest opinion.

Thank you for the informative review on the RT. I currently own a 2020 Ryker Rally and will be trading it in for a 2024 Spyder RT or F3T. Love your reviews . Thank you again

So excited for you with the next model they send you! How exciting!!

Coach Bob, thanks for the commentary. It thankfully confirms I've made the right decision. I pick up my brand new (demo with 1,000 km) 2022 RT Sea to Sky next weekend! My Honda ST1300 will see a lot less road time this summer. After 50 plus years of riding, I thought a Spyder was a wonderful retirement present. Looking forward to a lot of roads trips!

Can't wait till I can afford to get one. These are really helpful when trying to decide on new, used or new but last year model.

bajaron sway bar was one of the best things i did to my RT.

Thanks. as always another great video

Awesome of BRP to have you "tell it like it is"....

I love my 22 but the one thing they need to fix is the air bag and put a cover on them I was riding and got a Little Rock in my spring and got a little hole

Looking as effervescent as ever, Coach Vick!

Another outstanding video by CB3. Thanks Coach and Can Am for the extended review/videos. It will definitely help me with my next purchase.

#CB3 Question. Garmin Zumo XT or XT2? 1/2" larger screen & an extra $100.. Is it price or are features worth it? I agree with the '23 RT Ltd, I've been bit B4 by buying 1st year model upgrades. Fortunately, it's only the screen and software. Software can be fixed. I am 68, lots of physical disabilities and am thrilled with my '23 RT Ltd! Was interested in the RT but the dealer quickly asked, you are planning to take your wife with you, right. Plus the heated seat and grips? In Connecticut? Not an upgrade, a necessity!

I disagree with you on the suspension part. The Sway bar and new endlinks will fix the front end sway. Night and day difference. Same with power. Guys have been asking for more power in the RT's for years. Fully loaded and pulling a trailer, it's just not enough power. 115HP in a 1330 motor is laughable to be honest. Braking has always been great on the spyders with the stock Brembo kits. I always run underglow and LED lights. More to be seen than anything else. I test rode an RT base a couple years ago. I did love how smooth it was. Very comfortable too. Thanks for being honest with all of your views. I'm glad BRP is being more receptive to criticism and listening to the customer base.

I hope the next model you get to test out is the 2023 Sea To Sky.

Love my 21 RTL! I have the CoachBob3 inspired Zumo XT on my Spyder 😂

Awesome video Coach. Your ambassador skills are improving 😉 Sharing your thoughts on the features that matter the most when it comes to touring is of great help to new riders and potential new riders. My RT Sea-to-Sky is an awesome machine and I never thought I'd be so happy owning it. Got some nice trips planned for 2024 so, as @theSMYRNAcowboy says, let's ryde more in 2024! Cheers Coach! P.S. are you thinking about SpyderQuest in September?

Great video. Thank you for sharing.

I purchased the Spyder RT Limited for these reasons you mentioned. Thank you. I am waiting for the Spyder to arrive from Canada to Saudi Arabia, which will take 3 months.

Sorry to see Blue Belle going away,

Great video Coach.

I just saw the video looks excellent. Been thinking about buying one. Might just go ahead and do it. Thanks for the memories.

Good old boy from N. Y.

I love my heated seat and grips

Hi coach Bob thank for a great video, please what is the helmet and jacket (is it a cold weatherjacket) you are wearing in this video and have you done a review on these items, thanks Andy in Georgia.

Another great video see you on Casper 11. Lol

Great video and commentary, did Canam suggest when the 2024 RT Ltd will start appearing at the dealers? I have been watching all your videos and learning many skills in theory, before buying my first Can am. I anticipate a high learning curve with lots of on road practice, slowly building on the skills required.

Great job bob😊

Great job😊

Greetings Coach Bob. Any suggestions for a trailer? I purchased a Sea to Sky in November 23. April 24 I pick it up and I plan on taking it with me on family trips.

4:11 I talked to the Motomember dealer today 6/6/24. They are the largest can am dealer in North America. Located in mother Va. They said they’ve only gotten a few 2024 spyders this whole year. They said the Apple car play is not functional right now on the 2024. Not sure why. Called them bc I’m looking to buy a 2022/2023 spyder. Any advise?!

i just drove 400 miles return trip to ride 2023 CAN AM RT as a motorbike rider of 55 years when i set off on the RT I felt everything was wrong all this saying about and bumps i felt like supper body work out and no way could it ahandle the narrow tight lanes we go down in the UK so it will not be for me.

car play still having problems with getting permission to start.
