That would be one thing if Bombardier and BRP were one and the same. But they were sold or spun off from Bombardier several years ago.

Be grateful that they have gone their separate ways. There's an old adage in aviation..."to make a small fortune in aviation you need to start with a large one". Most aircraft manufacturers have trouble keeping their doors open (even with an occasional decent order). Biz jets are a limited market with tough competition.

The airplane part was gone from the company eleven years ago, so that no longer relates to anything. If you are going to flame the company's products do some research first.

I rode my Spyder yesterday and today. All total 127 miles. If I didn't like it I would get something else. It is as much fun as any two wheeler--different, but at least as much fun. It is as reliable as any other motorcycle I've owned. I think My $25K could not have been spent on a better machine. Just my (not so) humble opinion.

Did anyone's grandfather ever say to them "if you don't have something nice to say just say nothing?" I hope so and I hope we will all practice that more in 2014

I think we are living in different times !
Lets not pretend that some of the spyder do not have any problems , It's common sense and a natural human reaction if one spend 20 grand or over and their unit has issues , you bet there going to voice thiere opinion . Yes these units are fun to ride and that's if you have a great working unit then kudos to ya , it's not all love some times ,

The BRP company created a product which I truly enjoy. They sell it to lots of naturally happy people. They sell it to lots of people who become happy as a result. Unfortunately the sell it to a few nabobs.
