    Default New BRP Rumour

    Had a Custom Dynamics October Newsletter‏ posted to my e mail today


    When you look at the Greetings it has the following news

    Greetings!

    Fall is here and it is bringing many changes to the motorcycle world. Harley made some big changes with their 2014 lineup, Indian is turning heads with their new Chief and rumours have started that BRP may be looking at the 2 wheel market........

    We are excited about the opportunities and have many new products working their way down the line so you will have new and exciting products to add to your ride.

    We will be in Daytona for Biketoberfest at the Speedway. Stop by and see us Thurs - Sun if you are in town!



    Have not heard this one before - Maybe someone going to the Daytona Biketoberfest can find out where Custom Dynamics have found the source for this rumour

    So folks is it time to Speculate - Make suggestions and influence a new market with BRP - if it is true ?
    I am sure they will not abandon the 3 wheel stance we all love so much

    Mind you if BRP Enter the 2 Wheel market - Who from the 2 Wheel will now enter the 3 Wheel market as direct competition

    As always waiting for the healthy debate to begin

    "...May be looking at..."
    I like to look at all sorts of things; it doesn't mean that I've got the inclination or permission to actually take that last step...
    We need some sources, and independent confirmation.
    Thanks!

    I think this is why you call them rumors, there are no facts to back it up.

    I wouldn't mind seeing that...

    But, doesn't Harley own the "Buell" name now?

    They used rotary valves in their induction systems long before anybody else figured out that piston-port setups weren't the hot ticket...

    I believe that Buell owns the Buell name, not Harley. Harley was the backing (read money) and outlet for the Buell.

    Default Sorry..!!

    imho they've got the three wheeler down. Those without problems (the many) will agree those with them (the few) will not. As you may have noticed there are a bunch of manufacturer out there trying to copy this machine. Speaks volumes to their success. Weather they should return to the two wheeler who knows but they do have the motors and technology to do it and would think it would be a nice bike...

    They've also got a history that they can point to; albeit in the dirt...

    I don't think so. BRP is doing what they can for the current Spyder problems. I wouldn't want them to drop everything and commit the entire corporation to one project. No one survives that way.

    I'm sure there are things that need to be improved on their Sea Doos and Ski Doos too. Would you want BRP to say; 'We'll work on the Spyder issues after we get all these other issues fixed'?

    Surely a company like BRP can do more than one thing at a time and get it all done.

    Oh, by the way, I've got a sneak picture of the new BRP project... The name of this 2 wheeled project is;

    'Go Big or Go Home!'

    And what about the rumor that you should wait and buy the 2015 Spyder because it will run on water and snow as well as land.....

    I'd need to take out an addition life insurance policy and a few valiums before swinging a leg over that .
