The 2008-2009 Can-Am Spyder GS SM5/SE5 and Spyder GS were groundbreaking motorcycles that redefined the riding experience with their unique three-wheeled design. The Spyder GS, introduced in 2007, was the first model in Can-Am's Spyder line, and it quickly gained popularity for its stability and ease of handling. The SM5 and SE5 models were introduced in 2008 and 2009 respectively, offering enhanced features and performance. All three share the same fundamental design, featuring a Rotax 991cc, 90-horsepower, liquid-cooled, V-twin engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. This combination delivered impressive power and acceleration, making them capable of reaching speeds of over 100 mph. The Spyder's unique trike configuration, with two wheels in the front and one in the rear, provided exceptional stability and ease of handling, even for novice riders. This stability was further enhanced by the patented "StabiliTrak" electronic stability control system. This system utilized sensors to detect and correct potential loss of control by applying braking force to individual wheels, making the Spyder a remarkably safe and confident machine. Beyond the technical advancements, the Spyder also provided a unique and comfortable riding experience. The spacious, ergonomic seating offered a comfortable ride for both the rider and passenger. The large windshield provided ample protection from the elements, while the numerous storage compartments allowed riders to bring along everything they needed for a long journey. These features, combined with the Spyder's sporty performance, made it a popular choice for riders of all experience levels, seeking an enjoyable and safe riding experience.
