2015 RS

[DragonLorD]

Well Guys, since there has been nothing done for us RS Ryders this year, let's hope for a next year.
Looks like BRP took it by Diplomacy this year looking after elderly first aka ould farts = RT Riders - no offence gents therefore nothing to attract young Riders again, lets hope that we'll be given 150 BHP engine with 150 MPH max out next year and sell our old RS to the Girls
I am putting my name down for Limited one seater supersport supercharged Edition of RS so somebody wake me up please whenever that happens or some other manufacturer comes to senses. Up until then - Ryde Safe.

i resemble that remark

I'm right there with ya on the 150hp! I think a bike with this kinda of safety systems could handle a 150 to 175hp motor no problem, and give me the option to disengage the VSS and traction control under say 35 mph. This would allow some very fun donuts and smoke drifts at a reasonably controlled speed.

Your day will come so we should be first to spend our money while we can!!
Do you hear me !!

I hear ya Bro
the ones closer to the gate shall be pleased first

Us ( minority though ) on the end of the que patiently ( not really ) wait another year

[Orange monster]

One more requirement I would like to add, I would really like to see said bike run the quarter mile in sub 13 seconds! Give me a 175hp bike that can turn the quarter in the 12.9 range!

[SpyderAnn01]

I would think that by lowering the price by $2,000 on the RS that they should see sales go up and if they sell more they may be inclined to make some upgrades sometime down the road. Either that or they will sell all of the inventory of RS pieces and parts and quit making them.

No offense taken, but my GS is doing just fine thank you. If they do upgrade to a three jugger for a RS, Spydee is going to have a transplant and upgraded brakes installed.

Better get a lot more tire and change the weight distribution. There is a reason there is a traction control feature in the VSS.

i'm with you bro on what you're looking for (if you'll let me be),but i'm an old fart on an rss!!! believe me when I say not all of us old farts ride rt's.

Very disappointed that the RS is the poor forgotten entry level bike now. The RT has always seemed bloated to me in comparison to its original cousin and I have never wanted one. But the power has gone to the RT and nothing has really changed on the RS.

Curiously, the Rotax engineer from Germany who rode my turbo a couple of years ago said they could and would make one if there was interest but I fear the RS as a superbike is a dream because grandpa wants to pretend to be young forever on his RT. So the money will pour into the RT and the RS will probably just disappear.

you couldn't have said it better,

how much difference turbo gives you in comparison to stock? - reliability?

As an RS-S owner, maybe I should get used to being disappointed . But I am going to make sure they here me before they kill the best model of the bunch.

[Dochands]

There have been issues with the turbo. Had to add a Powercommander and it still is not set up entirely right. Again it is good technology but Hi Performance has never received the interest they hoped for so it is languishing like the RS.

A six speed 1330 RS would be sweet but I don't hold out much hope but a year from now we will all know.

[daveinva]

Again, if the reports of the 1330 are right, NONE of you gentlemen want it in the RS-- it's all torque and grunt, not HP and RPM.

Of course they can re-tune it, but if you all are after a "liter sportsbike" engine in the RS, I'd be genuinely surprised if the 1330 will scratch that itch.

Besides, does anyone even know if this engine will even fit under the RS skin yet?

most likely it wouldn't fit under the hood, but if it did, the 6 speed and the additional mileage would be well worth the wait. (not to mention the longer service intervals)

[Orange monster]

One problem with a turbocharged spyder would be location of the turbo. If they tried to locate it under the plastic then you are just adding more heat. Turbo's generate a lot of heat and require cool air to perform at their best. Most companies are using intercoolers to help cool the incoming air. The existing turbo system for the spyder is located outside the plastic on the exhaust/muffler pipe and is not very attractive. If Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki can all build bike motors in the 1000cc range that put out 150hp to 200hp NA surely Can am can too.

[Kratos]

You guys are upset now.....but they are gonna blow you away next year. Mark my words.......something BIG is brewing for the RS. Mark my words....

[Farmbanker]

Maybe someone can find it but I read a quote of someone from BRP stating that the new engine is the next step for ALL Spyder models. Can't find it right now. Patience can be hard.....

I guess 47 is an old fart....

If you come to the states I'd gladly take you up on racing this 'old fart' on his RT on some of the twisties in the Smokies....

A 2014 RT would probably do even better... especially since you can just roll-on throttle without shifting......
------------------------------------------

I don't see the RS going away.

My bet is this:

They come out with a 600 CC entry level Spyder for around 12K.
They come out with a more sporty RSS.... maybe the inline 3, or maybe a beefier V-twin... but if you want more HP... you're gonna pay.

Or maybe the entry level 600 replaces the RS, the ST gets some more power for the speed lovers.


Since they've done big things lately... the ST.... and now the new RT.... it would make sense the RS/S would be next for a serious makeover....
