based on what, looks?

fact is the can-am isn't sporty at all- by design.

the Can-Am has the rider/driver sitting straight up like on a bike, but it cannot lean in corners.
so the rider is fighting G-force in cornering by hanging onto the handlebars to not get pitched off, all while tracking a line in a corner and controling the throttle.

You are only safe cornering the Can-Am up to about 0.50 G.

Any production sportbike or sports car can blow by you in a corner at 1.0 G ? twice the speed.

the fact is that can-am is a 3 wheeler designed and marketed to entry level motorcyclists.
