2019 Can-Am Ryker 3-wheeler starts at $8499!
-
The best quote from the article;
“for an unparalleled drifting experience on gravel“
Make me want one!
-
"..................starting price of $8,499 and standard CVT ..................
The 600 is a parallel twin that makes 47 horsepower and 35 lb-ft of torque................Yes, these are snowmobile engines"I think it should have read.... Yes, these are actually our entry level snowmobiles with wheels ............

Cool, this is not in the same league as the SlingShot so comparing the
two would be apples to oranges, but it looks like a great option for
somebody that is looking for an inexpensive three-wheeled street bike!

Just think what a single seat performance oriented SlingShot would be like....

They'd have me sold if it would cut my grass too.

Just mount your mower in front for maneuverability... Mounting it off the rear would just be too awkward.

I actually kinda like the look of that. Sort of a Streetfighter version of a Spyder.

I actually like the overall lines of the Ryker. Just imagine if they designed a single seat, sit-in cockpit and kept the price and weight as close to $11,000 and 600 lbs as possible! I always rode my two-wheelers alone and rarely have a passenger in my Slingshot, so I'd definitely consider such a model as a potential replacement for my Slingshot.

I'd probably agree with both of those statements... but I'd still like a ride on mower deck to go with it, then I could use my 27 year old Snapper riding mower as a trade in.

Too bad the Can-Am's don't lean into a corner. The idea of sitting perched on top of a trike through a corner just doesn't seem sporty to me at all.

The Boss Hoss entry intro reverse trikes.

Well it is Cub Cadet color. Does it come in a zero-turn?

I know, right? With the seat in the middle like an Indy Car.

And at that price both significant others can purchase and ride their own!

And its automatic. The little woman can drive it. I do like the low center of gravity. I think Can Am will reach a whole different customer base with this one.

As wlfyfe says, it's apples and oranges. It doesn't matter what you call something or how it's registered. The fact is, one is a 3-wheel motorcycle, and the SS is a 3-wheel car. There are markets for both.

In most states the Slingshot is registered as a motorcycle and plated as such. Insurance companies --- motorcycle Federal Gov --- motorcycle

Something I shared on one of the other forums when a critic gave a scathing review of the SlingShot as a car:
Quote from wjfyfeDisplay MoreYa know, upon further contemplation, this guy is actually right, the
SlingShot does make for a very poor automobile experience, something
most of us happy and content owners can agree upon, correct? So, with
his doing this review showing how bad of a "car" the SlingShot is, maybe
this will enlighten and deter those folks really wanting a "car" from
becoming "disappointed" by mistakenly purchasing a SlingShot?Bill
