Is 102 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2013 and 2018, roughly 21 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2013 has 102 complaints on file, more than the 2012 (41) and more than the 2014 (13). That is the most of the 6 model years of the Can-Am Spyder RT we cover. Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
