    Default BRP Announcement ?? (or not), I believe it, I Do.

    NEWS FLASH: After much testing and analyzing, BRP Engineers have discovered that the Black 2014 RTS is the fastest, best looking and coolest Spyder on the road, but they are holding off on the announcement until they sell all the other models and colors so that they don't lose any sales.

    This is a public service announcement brought to you by a completely unbiased poster.

    Black is only the fastest color for riders with big feet. White is clearly the fastest color of all.

    Now, if they would just announce the dates of the Owners Event..................

    John, the panels look great. When warm weather gets here let me know when you'll be out at oak beach.

    I think your spyder looks cool. Hopefully it will act cool too. Seriously, those are excellent mods you installed. I know they were pricey, but I think well worth it.

    Um....BRP is wrong...this is the first time in history that they are wrong. RED is the absolute fastest. I pegged the speedometer the other day. Really. No kidding.

    I have talked to BRP about this and all you folks who are disbelievers and they said to just go along with the other colors until they can sell a few more than they will go public with the afore mentioned results

    This is really great news, Joe. With the research in the bag, BRP should start to DEEPLY DISCOUNT the other colors any time now. As much as I would love to travel with the "swift crowd," I would be willing to help BRP reduce the inventory of their silver/wine RTs - for a slight fee, of course!

    The deeply discounted prices on the other colors should be starting soon, the resale value on the Black Spyders has gone up drastically, someone keeps trying to hijack this thread with talk of something yellow????? i don't know what they are talking about though, gotta run BRP is on the phone with more info.

    I hate to say but someone steered you wrong with that information.
    The winner of the Guinness land speed record of a Spyder was indeed Cognac.
    As a funny little side note on how they came up with deciding to call the color Cognac.
    After finishing the speed test, the only thing shaky test pilot could utter was I need a drink!
