Thread: Three wheeled Motor bike

Has any one see these bikes in Thailand Three wheeled Motor bike.



Just seen 2 or 3 with police escort Phetkasem road Nakhon Phatom heading south

SAN DIEGO — Last week, we took this wild-looking three-wheeler for a serious test drive. It’s officially known as the B.R.P. (Bombardier Recreational Products) Can-Am Spyder Grand Sport Roadster. Yes, that sure is a mouthful to say, but it was more than interesting to see what kind of a handful it was to ride:





Three-wheelers aren’t usually the most forgiving when it comes to sharp turns. Remember the old Honda ATC? The difference this time is that the two wheels are out in front instead of in the rear, and stability control is there to rein-in any naughty behavior. It might've bee a little odd to ride, but still a lot of fun at the same time. This three-wheeler was capable of sport bike-like speed, too, because power comes from a 106-hp Rotax V-twin paired to a choice of a traditional five-speed manual or a five-speed sequential gearbox. Prices will start around $15,000. —Ben Stewart

This is the colour that I had see on my way home

I don't know if it is the same bike but look close.

I have seen a couple of these ^ can-am in Thailand. Also a lot of custom made trikes.

Remember it's Bang Sean Bike Week this weekend so that's why you will see a lot of motorcycle traffic on the roads. Maybe VIPs heading home.

Sorry Satonic I had just read that after I replied so they had to be heading towards Kanchanaburi

I think the bike week runs from Friday until Sunday. I was going to head down but it get's crazy busy there!

I have seen two Can-am before, it was yellow followed by a black one. I saw them in the service station between Pattaya and Bkk. I can't imagine there are too many in Thailand!

The traffic was heavy as I when to over towards Chon Buri just over the Bang Pakong river then back to Ratchaburi seen th Cha Am bike & I tryed to stay with them.
Not long after thata bit down the road there was many HD 20 -30 on the side of the road before the turn off to Ban Pong.

I was just look at this until the price fuc- that

Yep But swap the front wheels for skis, rear for a track - it would look great as a snowmobile

Great idea mate but I think someone has already thought of that.

Damn.... I'm never gonna be a billionaire

I know a couple of guys in OZ that bought Spyders , thought they were great until they did an extended road trip , both were then sold.
