    Default I would like to see on new models

    Thing's I would like to see on new Canams , shaft drive to eliminate vibration problem, keyless ignition ( we have this on our Minis if you have key with you it will go no need to put it in car) detachable bags for the F3 that top load and detachable windshield. This would be nice to take off for around town and put on for trips. I have put Harley Police bags on my F3 Jim IMG_20150801_200011.jpg

    A integrated infotainment system .. Like the new Indian has.
    Get rid of the left turn signal button and make them separate.
    ECO mode don't need.
    Tri axis bars already installed or type of adjustable handlebar on the Spyder RT
    Get rid of the cables to ignition switch

    Like to see at least a option for a hand brake lever.
    Find a new tire manufacturer

    These minor things and the Spyder would be superior

    My next door shop mare has a new Ducati XDiavel. It has a keyless ignition system...very cool, I'd love to have it on my RT. He is also an inventor and machinist like me. With a little design help from me, he as come out with the first "Highway Pegs" for the Ducati. They are VERY cool. ny of you who have friends with a Ducati might email me and I'll pass it on to Jack. I love creative young people who will step up and take a chance. They are selling very, very well. We are now working together on a new version of my TOTE RACK that will mount on the trunk. Stay tuned, and......

    Personally, I'd like to see the most mechanically and electronically sound systems possible. The bells and whistles are great, until a failure shuts down your ability to ride. KISS.

    Far as I am concerned the air temp and clock are useless.. But on a side note can be better on a infotainment system. With analog gauges JMO

    I like all of the mentioned so far...How about a couple more inches of ground clearance in the center. A redesign of the A-arms that angles them down a bit?
    Different gas access
    Room to inflate tires
    New mirror mounts
    Stock arm rests that offer a sense of security for the passenger
    Longer foot pegs
    Bigger hand grips
    Adjustable handlebars
    Different method of opening frunk and seat. Separate it from the key
    Let me change the oil without takin panels off.....WTH?

    Yeah, I know there are aftermarket solutions for many of these, but why does there need to be? Just KISS to begin with.

    I have a 2014 RT-S and had to replace my rear tire just before 5000 miles. Don't, however, blame Kenda. These tires are made to requirements defined by BRP. Kenda did not have a bunch of tires sitting around and then go to BRP and tell them to produce a bike that would use their tire. BRP went to Kenda and asked for a tire that would meet very specific requirements. Check the part number changes on the different years of various Spyders.

    They might as well add TPMS to the system as well Got to disagree with the top load saddle bags The frunk fills up too much as is & badge wont offer enough support. On my STL the removable bags are great for me, does help with adding air to the rear as well

    Optional hand brake. Standard adjustable bars.

    I want nothing to do with shaft drive.

    I agree - no shaft drive for me!

    Hand brake - check
    Adjustable handle bars - check
    LED headlights and running lights -check
    LED third brake light - check
    Better horn - check
    Adjustable shocks - check
