    Default Motorcycle Study Survey Card

    In the mail today, I got a card for a survey through "motorcyclestudy.com". I don't know if I got this because of magazine subcriptions, but anyway I was curious and answered the survey.

    At one point it got pretty clear that the survey asked questions that could be used in developing new spyder models. For one question, they described the spyder perfectly and asked what kind of variation I'd be interested in buying. The survey listed:

    -Luxury Touring Version
    -Cruiser Version
    -Sporty Version
    -Luxury Cruiser Touring Version
    -Sport Touring Version

    Each of those had description for body style, seating position and included accessories. I was very surprised and by the proposed options and got kind of excited about possible future models.

    Anybody else got this? What were your thoughts?

    I would be willing to bet that Honda is behind it. They are looking at coming out with their own version of a Spyder.

    Interesting.

    If it is Honda and they come up with something like the spyder, I may very well switch teams.

    How many people who received the card, completed the survey on the "other forum" for a chance at winning $250? Just curious.

    I took the survey and thought it was from BRP. Thinking back they asked if I would be interested in an all electric model sounds more like Honda.

    I got the card today but I have not done the survey. I do plan on it this weekend. But of coarse the possibility of 500 bucks isn't bad !!!!!

    I got mine today, haven't done anything with it yet. I'm always a little suspicious about these things but maybe this is legit.

    I received a card in the mail today too. I have completed the study/survey this evening but decided to write to the included email address and ask the questions:

    - Who are you?
    - Who are you collecting information for?
    and
    - How will this information be used?

    If I hear anything back, I'll be happy to pass it along...

    Nope, nothin yet. It's only a matter of time before another manufacturer sees the potential of this market and brings their considerable engineering resources to bare. This of course will raise the stakes for all players involved. This of course would be BRP!

    This is good though. It will force BRP to innovate and work on the product so that it can take on all comers. It's that or extinction. I look forward to see what comes down the pike!

    Curious.. I got it, answered, started to fill out the "survey", until they asked what was the most recent bike I purchased. Then, I answered (truthfully) the most RECENT purchase was my 2000 BMW 1150GS (bought since I acquired the Spyder in Feb '08). They promptly stopped the survey, thanked me for participating and ended the exercise??? WTF?

    This does smell alot like a Honda probe!! Not so sure about the electric motor factor. Part of the experience is hearing that engine sing man! I don't think I would like an all-electric power plant for a number of reasons. That's just me though!

    Good info Doc!

    Brandspark is just a marketing firm. They work for money. The question is not "who is Brandspark?" The question is " Who is paying them for this?"

    That info will not likely be public....and it could be anybody (including Honda)

    Long for some, short for others. Next question dependent on how you answer current questions. If you respond you own a spyder questions will be geared towards spyder. Basic market research- they will likely try repackage the data and sell it to other manufacturers unless the sponsor of the research paid a premium.
