Went to the show today and was really disappointed as I expected to see BRP at the show. Nope not represented at all.
BRP was there last year. What gives?
They're holding out for Sturgis. Like they are going to "convert" hard core Harley riders.

It was a disappointment for sure. There was a good showing of Spyder riders there in spite of BRP’s no show.
Joe was super excited to see the new Goldwing but disappointed that they didn’t have one in white at the show and none available to test ride
Three wheeler machines were represented by Slingshot, Vanderhall and Piaggio. Vanderhall is fielding a fully electric model priced at $39,000.
The sunset set photo is just to rub in what a gorgeous day it was in Long Beach.

Hard to say why they skipped it. Talk from my local dealer is they're having personnel issues of some kind or another. Maybe that spilled over onto this area of the business.
How can you find out if they will be at the Minneapolis MN show. They have been every year I've gone.
I don't think you can find out. If you go to the main IMS page, BRP is not listed as one of the participating brands. Then there's a disclaimer that brands may vary per each show stop and to check the show schedule for that show's brand listing. But when I go there, there's no brand list.
They were basically a no show at the Sydney Australia Motor Cycle show as well, except for two F3's on display at the entrance to the show. A BRP rep told me they were channelling their resources elsewhere (and it was a matter of priorities) but would have a display stand in Australia at next years show. I told them "too late, they would have lost a number of sales from this show"
So it's basically the same here in Auszzie land as in the USA
Based on their "targeted marketing initiative" where they focus their efforts on people that have shown interest in the Spyder by clicking on adds an drew then inviting them to "private demos", I don't expect them to show up at these shows at all. I think with the introduction of the sub 10,000 Spyder next year they may want to make a splash then!
