$10K Spyders for 2019

[den1953]

The only way would be a lighter smaller Spyder with maybe less features or less expensive bodywork. Possibly a new smaller twin cylinder motor (think vertical twin maybe 2/3 of the current triple) and maybe with only a manual shift transmission.

The Have a lot of detuned ATV motors that they can whack a sportier cam in to get some more revs and keep torque. That and Rotax is in bed with them and so any and every rotax motor from glider motors etc that are quite efficient may be on the cards.

Can Am did build a new Factory this year down in Mexico Juarez so that will have a significant role in cost I believe they will need to build the cheaper version down there.

Honestly...

Who here would even want a $10k spyder?

It certainly is going to have a smaller motor, and very limited creature comforts. My bet is that none of us would buy one. If they are making a budget model it will be for an entirely different demographic.

Hi WackyDan, I have a 2105 F3-S and I would certainly buy a 10k Spyder. I would keep my F3-S for long motorway distances like I do to Kent every year (Just over 200 miles from where I live) and have the 10k Spyder has a run around toy around the city. Can Am bring on the budget model Spyder you have a customer here in the UK.

I'd buy one today as long as the riding position wasn't a cruiser style and it had enough power. Based on the weight of the Spyders from 2008-2018 I don't think most riders (even new ones) would be happy with a bike with less than 100hp unless the new model is on a serious weight reduction program. I'd welcome a lighter model as well.

Bare bones features, very little tupperware, sport riding position, decent power to weight ratio. I'd be all over it. Probably buy 2, one for me and the wife.

Time will tell how many "buyers" are going to bite. Not me. I am not going from a Cadillac to an entry level Chevy.

I definitely would want one. My wife and I share a 2017 RT Limited and can't justify spending the same amount of cash for a second one on the current Spyder prices. Now give the option of a cheaper Spyder and you'll see each of us riding around town on our own reverse Trike. I think the biggest question will be are you better off in buying this cheaper but new version of a Spyder or are you better off buying a used more featured Spyder for not much more? Time will tell.

I do indeed hope this cheaper Spyder does reach an entire different and younger demographic. It's pretty unsettling for my wife and I to be in our 50's and find out we're the youngest couple (sometimes by a decade or two) when we're riding with other Spyder and Harley Davidson riders. No offense to our older friends (we love them to death) but when you have younger riders with you in the crowd it's nice to be reminded the importance of being "young at heart". It's also nice to be challenged by the younger adults...to show you can still keep up with them (on a good day).

Looks like Monday from what I see from Can Am.
