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...
On a wave runner, you can bite the water because the water isn't solid and get it to lean some. Can Am doesn't have the luxury of liquid asphalt. It's just a big pile of shit.
