@Bikerrandy @ Wackydan I have a MP3-500 and as of right now I get 45.6 MPG. How do I know this you ask? Because I use Gas Cuddy and it allows me to track my milage when I enter some simple but key info during each fill up. I run a Vespa rental service here in Miami and I use Vespa LX50 s for our Members Only service. I also use the MP3-500 to tow our Vespa s and also to TOW HARLEY S to the shop! So what is my point?
I love the MP3-500 BUT... I am also eye balling the 2012 RTS Limited edition (Pearl White) as my Big Boy Toy! I have to admit the only reason I choose the MP3-500 last year was the God awful milage of last years Can Am s but... with a 240+ range per tank for the current Can Am s I have to say that I like the fact that I am going to have x2 the power! I tow Sh % all the time and sometimes the bikes I tow are in the 1000lbs range. travel inn grimsby I get a shutter on the bottom end of the torque but thats to be expected on the type of the clutch the MP3 is sporting.
With the built in safety features the Can Am is sporting I as a rider who has never had a liking to 2-wheel motorcycles. Cant see the issue in plunking down 40+ on a top of the line model. This is my Big Boy Toy and it will be my main means of transport. I ride around all day and once I get my hands on the 2012 LE version, I will be ridding in style!! @Wackdan, can t wait to join the local spyder travel inn grimsby club!!
TO each, their own... But I have to point out a couple of things. Your MP3 is a 250. The Spyder is a 998. Comparing mileage travel inn grimsby between a light weight 250 and the heavier Spyder with the 998 isn t exactly a good comparison. I get up to 38 MPG on my Spyder GS.
As for their safety... I ve ridden down gravel roads, ran into loose stones and sand in tight turns and ridden in torrential downpours. To suggest the wider stance of the spyder is not safe in those conditions travel inn grimsby is misinformed, and not based on any real ex
