Excuse my ignorance, but is that a converted snowmobile? What's it like to drive one?

lol yeah the basic design is like a snowmobile. its pretty fun to drive, amazingly stable for a 3 wheel design. it has a 990 rotax engine so its got balls. its definitely an attention getter, i get tons of questions and comments every time i ride one.

I saw one driving down business 121 today and had to take time to figure out what it was. Whats the advantage of one of these things over a bike?

I saw something simlilar looking to that on lower Grennville a couple weeks ago. He turned off a side street onto Greenville and boiled the tire for about 50 yards......it had a fat back tire and looked pretty damn pimp.

With gas close to 4 bucks a gallon, I see lots of things like that being sold. If it was in Red or black it would look good.

took the can am for the night last night and rode it around more. it isnt so great in wet conditions, the traction control gets confused and it feels very sluggish (but controllable) its alot of fun in the twisties, it feels like you're on a mix between a atv and a formula 1 car or something. my wife didnt like riding on the back of it, but she said with a backrest it would have been better for her. she prefers my sv1000. :D it has a pretty narrow powerband, as long as you're in that powerband (5k to 9k) it hauls balls but below that its pretty weak. It would make a bad ass show bike, somebody needs to buy one and put a 315 drag radial or slick on the back of it and turbo it. :D :D
