Lamonster Garage, SpyderLovers and BRP in 2015......

[Lamonster]

I'm pleased to announce that Lamonster Garage is going to play a big part in the launch of the 2015 product line for BRP. It will start at the dealer meeting Sept. 23 and it just gets better from there. There will be a BIG public showing at Daytona Bikeweek in March and SpyderLovers members will be the guest of honor. We want as many of you that can to show up for this event. I can't say much right now but I will after Sept' 23. I can promise you that you won't be disappointed.

So let's see how close you can guess what the new 2015 Spyder lineup will look like. Post your guess here and whoever is deemed to be the closes to getting it right I will provide you a free gift from Lamonster Garage like some highway brackets or something like that.

Let the games begin

Congratulations! No one can promote the Spyder better than you and I'm glad BRP is including you in this newest roll out!

[flamingobabe]

First off...Congrats......now for the new 2015's........two-tone and Tri-colors.....1330 engine in ST and RSS.....more air flow venting....

[Marker]

For 2015 a new entry level model to make it more affordable for people to ride the spyder.
also a spyder RT with a new ACE 1800CC motor option. The RS become the entry level spyder with a new sport model RS with a new frame and ACE motor 1500cc.

[Bob Denman]

RT & ST models: BNGs, and perhaps (hopefully) some improved electronics functions...
RS: 600 ACE engine,simplified and lightened-up: the perfect starter
RS-S : Articulating chassis and a power upgrade to the 998... maybe even a big-bore version!

[outlawsix]

A 1330 in a ST that is tuned different than in the RT, way faster. Maybe a Spyder under 10 grand with 600, 650 or so engine in it?

[lil rabbit]

on your new journey with BRP!!!! I agree with bigger motors for all models, better air flow, possibly cruise control on RS/RSS's, six speed transmissions also on RS/RSS's. But what ever they are it should be hopefully more affordable for the average person....

[Rando]

Leaning.

[Bob Denman]

Lamont,
If the Party starts on the 23rd; when will the product announcements be made?
(Where is this meeting being held? )

[ARtraveler]

Wish I could be there, but cannot.

My predictions:

Not much change to the basic RT line. Perhaps an "ultimate tourer" with an even bigger engine, a real touring seat, and of course some new colors.

ST: may get a 1330 engine.

RS will be the one that gets tweeked. Time for styling upgrades on the chassis, a bigger engine for the RSS.

Also time for a "smaller" version as in entry level. I like the idea of 600 or so cc.

A $10K to $12K entry level price is needed.

[retirednick]

congrats on remaining a large part of the Spyder world, well deserved for all of your efforts past and present.

Just a WAG from me Hybrid RSS

[FaranH]

First off...Congrats......now for the new 2015's........two-tone and Tri-colors.....1330 engine in ST and RSS.....more air flow venting....

Is that one entry or three?

[Topshotta]

RS: 998 Entry level cheaper price, new vent panels
RSS: engine upgrade to 1330 ACE, new vent panels
ST: engine upgrade to 13330 ACE, new vent panels
RT: no change

[stevedfive]

RT will have a 1800cc engine and will have more storage space making the bike bigger.
ST/RS will have a 1300 or 1500cc engine and the new brake system.

[revjvegas]

They're going to bring back the Viper Red so I can buy a 2015!

[DLewis]

RT - color changes, ST - bigger engine , RS/S - body panel changes (more venting) new colors , RS - entry level w/ smaller engine

[purplepig]

RT series new colors
RS series will offer smaller engine, lighter chassis possibly even smaller chassis; starting price $9999.99
ST will get new engine but different from RT. Larger displacement w/ great torque

[maliamd]

Has been all ready said but new entry level bike. RS mini that costs less and will be more affordable for the younger market.

[Plyrod38]

Shaft drive on all models, Larger engine on the RS and ST.

[mindman]

Congratulations Lamont ! This is a well deserved tribute to someone who has not only promoted the Spyder line-up from the very beginning but a man who has demonstrated a contagious enthusiasm for the brand, helped countless people with technical advice and solutions, and in every way possible is a positive representative for BRP.

For 2015 I see the 1330 being the new standard for all models along with some performance upgrades for the RSS, and only color changes for the RT.

[Big Arm]

RT will pretty much stay the same this coming yr. but will bring back the frunk opener.
ST and the RS's will see the 1330 engine. Both will have better heat management.
Oh.......and Congrat's Lamont !!!!!!

[otter28169]

RS: price will be lowered seeing as the design costs have already been recouped. No changes because that would create more cost.

RS-S: 150hp motor, and minor body changes.

SS: this is the new model that will provide a lower seating position and forward controls
OR
MS: the mini-spyder. A youth model for the back yard. Get 'em started young

RT and ST: The ST is too new to get any major changes. The RT just had a major redesign and will also see minor changes.

Just sayin'..........

[Cruzr Joe]

Hopefully a 2015 RT-S that my wife will let me buy. (did I win?).


Cruzr Joe

[Bob Denman]

Joe,
That depends upon what your Wife says...

(But since you've got her; you're already a winner! )

[Laila's Dad]

not sure if this is a proper response since it is based on what we think will be on the 2015, but here is what I would like for my RSS model that I am in love with:

- wider front tires and of course a wider fender for those tires, gives it a meaner look in my opinion

- more factory rim options to eliminate us having to look into the aftermarket realm when they don't really know how to work on Spyders properly

- add a sound system of sorts to the RSS which will compete with JL Audio which is running the aftermarket sound system for Spyders. Hopefully this system will be integrated without taking up t(f)runk space.

- licence plate relocator that won't have the license plate cracking every 10,000 miles from vibrations.

- have a peg/floorboard and seat package that you can choose based on taller riders. Maybe even stretch it a little but still be within the safety realm that I love about my Spyder

- do whatever they did on the RT to extend the fuel. filling up in 110 miles is not ideal but this isn't major for me...maybe add a reserve tank of sorts that will eliminate the need for the gas can that takes up space on a road trip

- have different light packages(at an additional cost of course) maybe round ones(current) or a light strip of some sort

- PLEASE ADD A COMPUTER NOTIFICATION THAT REMINDS US WHEN AN OIL CHANGE/SERVICE IS NEEDED. This would be a big seller for me.
