Six speed semi auto that downshifts for you and tons of gizmos I dont know how to use. Its very twitchy for a lack of a better word that takes some getting used to. Handles like its on a rail when cornering. Its the crotch rocket of trikes but its super confortable and easy to ride. Has a reverse gear of course.
There is no sensation to me at least that there is only one tire in the back. Its like riding a rolls royce 4 wheeler that is street legal. Smooth, quiet, powerful, good brakes, and has every horn, button and whistle a Gold wing has and probably more. All kinds of traction control and stability control devices to keep you out of trouble.
Downside? The price. Or at least to me. But it is an interesting alternative to riding a trike. I will take the Can AM over a trike pretty much anyday of the week after riding it.
+1 on that.
Thanks for the report. Intriguing machines. And a dang sight better looking than any trikes I've seen.
