There's a dealer I pass on my way to work, they've got a few in the showroom.
Don't really see the point of them, all the disadvantages of a bike and a car!

In Oxford there's often one parked up in the city centre in black.

Looks cool, but ultimately rather pointless other than as a shiny toy.

I actually want to try one.

My missus wants to have one as she can ride without all that motorcycle test malarkey.

My disabled friend with two damaged legs wants one as riding his current bike is too painful and awkward.

I believe you can get paddle shift gears. Auto on the way up and manual on the way down. There is a sports model RS and a tourer RT.

Basically a Bombardier in house production as they own the engine maker, Rotax and the body maker Can-Am. Some interesting electronics for traction control, power steering, etc.


Just some thoughts
