Still waiting for a major change to the RT

[Alberts46]

I don’t post often but read the forums multiple times daily. My first RT was a 2011 coming from numerous two wheelers. Loved it from first ride and when they made major changes in 2014 bought a new one. Still waiting for any major change other than a digital dash, etc. I would settle for even a body change but would really enjoy more horse power. Might just be me but hoping again for 2020.

While BRP could certainly very easily and probably cost effectively jack up the horsepower of the 1330, they most likely don't see the need to do so, as most of us 1330 owners are happy with things just the way they are. Yes, they do so with their ATV/off road vehicles, Skidoos & Seadoos, but those appeal to a totally different demographic than Spyders. I wouldn't look for any significant horsepower changes from BRP as far as the 1330 is concerned. Now, if they developed a horizontally opposed 6 cylinder 1800, well then I would think there would be more HP.

Drive shaft
winter panels or vents for cool weather riding (to use engine heat in passenger zone)
rider position like F3 while keeping passenger comfort as is or better
Bring MSRP down to discount clearance price.

+1 on the driveshaft. I loved them on my Shadow, Vulcan, and Valkyries. The 1330 really needs to jump the horsepower a bit also. I have noticed two-up passing or passing with a trailer can become a dancing act with the trans. More than once I have said to myself when passing, "Come on, come on, oh crap!" LOL

Love my 2014 RTS the way it is. Plus I owe nothing on it.

Since the Ryker has a driveshaft: the other bikes will get it next.
Three years... TOPS!

Have you tried leaning forward? Just kidding.

Yes, leaning forward helps...

Sounds like you are wanting them to copy the Honda GoldWing along with the shaft drive...
that would make it near perfect.
