2011 · Touring
The 2011 Can-Am Spyder Roadster RT Limited represented a significant offering in the unique three-wheeled touring segment. As part of the RT lineage, this model was designed with long-distance comfort and practicality in mind, distinguishing itself from the sportier RS models. In a market with few direct parallels, it competed for rider attention with other premium touring machines like the Honda Gold Wing, albeit with its distinct Y-frame configuration offering a different riding experience.
Powering the RT Limited was a robust BRP-Rotax engine, displacing 998.00 ccm (60.90 cubic inches). This liquid-cooled V-twin produced a respectable 100.00 HP (73.0 kW) at 7500 RPM, providing ample thrust for highway cruising and passing maneuvers. Torque figures stood at 104.00 Nm (10.6 kgf-m or 76.7 ft.lbs) at a lower 5000 RPM, contributing to its accessible power delivery. Despite its substantial 423.0 kg (932.6 pounds) dry weight, the engine capably moved the machine. Fuel capacity was generous at 25.00 litres (6.61 gallons), supporting extended touring ranges.
Riding characteristics of the 2011 RT Limited prioritized stability and comfort. The three-wheeled design inherently offers a different dynamic than a two-wheeled motorcycle, providing a planted feel and negating the need for riders to put their feet down at stops. The touring category designation is well-earned, with a plush, upright riding position. The seat height of 772 mm (30.4 inches) (if adjustable, lowest setting) caters to a broad range of riders, facilitating comfortable ergonomics for long hours in the saddle. Integrated storage and weather protection further enhanced its touring capabilities.
The 2011 Can-Am Spyder Roadster RT Limited was aimed at riders seeking a comfortable, stable, and distinctive touring vehicle. It appealed to those who might appreciate the open-air experience of a motorcycle but desire the added stability of a three-wheeler, or those transitioning from traditional touring bikes looking for something different. Its blend of power, comfort, and unique design made it a compelling option for grand touring, offering a confident and relaxed journey for the miles ahead.
