When they first came out, I wasn't impressed. Now that I've had a chance to think about it for a while, I feel the same way. If I couldn't ride on 2 wheels, I'd definitely look toward that sort of bike.
There are stages of vertigo that preclude even walking up or down stairs and rule out driving any sort of vehicle. I suffered from vertigo that was caused by a reaction to some medication, I couldn't have driven either, the pain was less of a problem than the vertigo. Good Luck.

I rode a Can-Am spyder back in 08. It was a terrible vehicle to ride.
The steering is impossibly heavy, the rear tire will wash out from the crown of the road to the edge, requiring constant steering adjustment.
The traction/stability control cannot be turned off at all, so no fun dounts.
I feel for you, but you should try one before you buy one, then buy a nice convertible.

How old are you?
Did your Dr. say it would get worse with time or stay the same. Are there treatments for this condition?
Have you noticed anything while riding your Busa?
Comes on? how often?
The Slingshot is new and I would rather have one of those over a Spyder.

I'm surprised that if it only happened 5 times that your Dr. knows for sure what it is.
Did you fall down? Go to the hospital right after a bout of it?
Can you drive a car OK?
Is there any family history?
Did the Dr. say no riding or are you afraid (OK if you are) to ride any more?
Would exercise help? with balance? or is that got nothing to do with your condition?
Sorry for all the questions but I don't know anyone with your condition - Older people can have problems but not someone 37.
Hope they can find something more solid that will give you the ability to not have to worry about it coming on when you least expect it.

My wife has a 08 spyder which we're trying to sell now because she doesn't ride it at all and I like riding it the steering isn't bad I rode for 4 hrs from Kentucky to northern Indiana when I bought it no problems and u can turn the traction control off by removing the fuse for it we just put the dual two brothers carbon fiber exhaust on it and boy is it loud can't hear my brocks over it
