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

[robmorg]

to Lamonster Garage

For 2015...

• An entry model with a more affordable price
• The 1330 engine for the ST
• No one else has said it so I'm stickin' my neck out.... A hybrid option somewhere in the lineup.

You're not sticking your neck out. It was mentioned earlier in this thread.

LED Headlights.

New upper suspension arms with adjustable castor and camber.

RT with fully auto transmission.

Small detail refinements to the RT.

ST series gets big motor and suspension upgrades.

RS gets new frame, keeps small engine, but gets engine refinements to boost HP towards 140 HP.

All models go to OBD engine codes able to be read by any shop with a reader.

I like this one.

Just one question. Is the new frame to prevent heat issues, or for leaning purposes, or increase h.p. to weight ratio?

• 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

Good morning,I was told that your the to see about a cat bypass.
i live in Fla,so a trip to you is not in the cards.
can I purchase one from you?
I just installed a tailgunner muffler on my 2013 st s and was told on here that if I need louder the cat bypass is the way to go.
can you give me your opinion about the bypass?
thanks genet.

I didn't read all the responses so sorry if someone else guessed this but I think a fully automatic transmission is in the lineup on a few models. NO MORE SHIFTING

[Grandpa Pete]

stock duel exhaust, mute button for rear passenger (jk), front tilting nose piece like on a sled for easy access to motor

[Ivorspyder]

Congrats Lamont.All sounds very exciting.Looking forward to September and certainly Daytona next March.My guess is they will change the look somewhat on the RT to keep it interesting.
As for the mechanical side they seem to have got it completely right this year.

Here's my crystal ball. Repeat of others of course:

2015 gets a Plug in hybrid. I'll go even more specific and say full time electric drive with gas generator a'la Chevy Volt.

Colors (of course, new year, color changes).

A more 'entry' entry model with either 998 or smaller.

More models get the 1330.

If the plug in hybrid comes out I may just buy a 2015, but depends on price point. With Tesla III targeted at 35k - $7500 US gov cheese I may just get the Tesla.

Glad to hear it. One thing I'd sure like to see is legitimization / legalization of aftermarket products without having to worry (WARNING: THIS MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND CAUSE DEATH!) every time you think about doing something to make your bike better.

RS - entry level machine with a 650cc engine without most of the panels and no frunk.
RSS - Turbo charged engine
ST line up - 1330cc engine
RT - Line up - LED headlights

I feel that BRP would benefit from "increasing" formula for a much longer lasting tire than the Kenda OEM's. "BRP controls the formula". This is the statement I got from Kenda direct.

All the tires are now 2012 spec.

[Jeriatric]

RT's with a 10 gal fuel tank

[White Lightening]

All the tires are now 2012 spec.

Please explain? Did they change the spec after 2012 and now they are returning to it? If it has changed what is the effective date stamped on the tires so we know if we are getting the better spec? Is the 2012 spec a harder compound?

[HuckFin]

Increase the Rotex twin to 150 hp with 6 speed transmission for the RS-S. Boost the RT three cylinder to 125 hp+.

[Laila's Dad]

...one other thing, give a realistic top speed. so I can stop hearing of speeds from 125mph to 180mph...

[bbodah]

Congrats Lamont for Sure. You deserve it! My hopes are also for a tilting front end!

[Woodsrider]

Tires last over 5k, and they are cheap.....that's friggen amazing to this motorcycle rider.

When I had Saab Sonett's, the SIII version didn't get the tilt front end of the earlier models. An enterprising engineer designed a DIY to make your own tilting front end.

Since much of what we want to get to is underseat/behind side panels, we really need to design side panels that tilt up like lambo door kits. First engineer to design that kit is going to pocket some coin...

[Xcarman]

Open engine -- fewer side covers

[Bob Denman]

That might be seen on the entry-level model that's been kicked around a bit...
(Less Tupperware, means less-pricey!)

[jaherbst]

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

Me Too!!

[Chief-J]

First Congrats on being selected for such a task.

I think the 2015's should all have; 1. Screw on type oil filter, easy maintenance and less parts to mess with. 2. A manual Park Brake for the RT SE, if the cable comes loose on the system they have now, the bike will roll away. 3. Standard Hand Brake for Safety. 4. Better placement of the Coolant Tank, still hard to reach for us Big Hand people. 5. Better Tire's

[ctpaddler2000]

My guess/wish list....

Fully auto twist and go.
Entry level model with RT seating, handlebar, floorboard configuration.
Naked model. Kind of like the Honda Big Ruckus.
This is way out there, but perhaps automotive style controls like the Polaris Ace or Slingshot (to debut in two days).

I like everyone's suggestions, but I don't think a color change or a few more HP are worthy of a bike week reveal. It better be BIG !

[Brogers57]

New radio for 2015 please I'd say most everybody would agree.
