    Default 2016 Spyder...what's your guess?

    In 10 days from now we will see the 2016 product line. So far every year they have surprised us with new colors and new products. What's your guess for the 2016 Spyder lineup? Just color change, new Spyder, new versions? Joan and I will be reporting live from the show and we'll let you know as soon as we can. We'll check back and answer questions that you might have while we're there. I'm always excited this time of year so keep an eye out Friday the 18th for news about the 2016 lineup.

    with Bob D who has stole most of my thunder.

    I am hoping for a "really new" color or two. All my other predictions have been covered.

    Is the winner going to get a new one as a prize?

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    The ST will be discontinued. It wasn't a big seller anyway and it's too close in style competition to the F3. The RS will stay as an entry level offering, retaining the 998 power train. As usual, there will be new color combinations and single colors. I agree with Bob that blue will most likely make a return appearance but not the blue of past years. I also think there will be more flat color combinations for the RS and the F3S. I have a gut feeling there is going to be a body style change in the RT. I can't put my finger on it, but there seems to be a disturbance in the Force. I don't believe there are going to be any big changes to the F3. Maybe dash/gauge wise. Hopefully more windscreen choices and a radio for the F3S.

    All will be revealed soon. And the lovers and haters will burn up the Spyder sites with comments.

    Default good to know

    Thanks Lamonster, it'll be good to see what they come up with.
    Colours? over here in Oz we don't get your full colour selection, so really almost a non-issue.
    Models? I have to disagree with many comments that the ST is replaced by the F3 - totally different ergonomics. That said, they may well drop the ST from the range, but what would be great is an ST with the 1330 motor - the frame is ready.

    RS? Entry Level? I wonder when BRP will join Harley, Moto Guzzi and many others in picking up the lower-cc market? Apparently the biggest seller this year in Oz is the 500cc Harley. The Ace 600cc triple would do the job in a light-weight entry level RS and would enable thousands of learner riders to start their motorcycling life with Can Am - and as all marketing gurus know, if you get the customer at the beginning you have a good chance of keeping them...

    Oh and how about adjustable tri-axis bars across RS, ST and RT as standard???

    What I really want is a 1330 motor to put into my ST. I somehow don't think this is going to happen...

    all on two wheels. More on four or more. Guess I may need to start multi-coloring for three wheels.

    To quote a famous person, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!" That is not a putdown of folks who are getting all excited, but rather a statement of my own situation. After TWO rather questionable experiences with a 2013 and 2014 RT, I now have a 2015 mag/red F3S and I am having a ball! They can make whatever they want for 2016! I am a happy camper right where I am! Now..., 2018/2019/2020???

    Stock LED lights that are still reflectors all around! (oh wait, that won't happen... it's a nice dream though)

    A rom flash that raises the rev limiter just a little bit? The 1330 can do so much more! (oh wait, that won't happen... )

    I am already out of ideas so I will just continue to love what I've got.

    Colors will change and modest styling changes, but nothing worth getting excited over I fear

    Just sayin'............
    Three in the garage, and I think I can fit at least one more in.....and then we will have to build another garage.
    The roads in NY are so bad that I am glad we bought a Ryker Rally

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

    I agree! I traded My 09 GS for the F3 Torque Monster and Now that my final payment has been made on my 2012 RT I'm considering selling it to Pay Off The F3 and Have NO DEBT???

    With the F3 Performance and Maintenance Schedule There is NO NEED for me to have 2 Spyders anymore!!!

    My local dealer suggested that I wait until the new flavours are exposed next week before putting my readies on a mark [emoji3] now I'm not sure if that means there will be a new selection to feast the eyes on or an affordable intermediate model or that with the new selection it will lower prices on new old stock and they will be out there for all to see or what?
