I'd be very slightly more interested if it leaned like a Piaggio MP3. If it's anything like a snowmobile, I'll pass. Any decent turn feels like the thing is attempting to throw you off in a violent and painful manner.

Its basically like a waverunner on wheels. Im pretty good on a waverunner, I grew up on a couple yamahas. (any waverunner people will laugh at that). The thing about waverunners is that to properly get them to turn performance wise you have to get them to bite. Basically you have to get the weight shifted to the back side that youre turning on . If anyone has tried turning one at high speed with just the handlebars, you know that it just turns on a horizontal plane, and it tries to yank you off in the other direction, hard. That is until the outer edge bites a wave and then you go over... . I can only imagine the Can Am feels like that around a corner because there is no way to shift the weight...

Yea... a waverunner basically is like a ski in snow. It cuts on an edge. But it must feel like your going to fly off at all times on the Can. You must really work your abs and obliques on the thing...
