2018 Models

[Rob Rodriguez]

The new models are released in September. Does anyone know what date the show is for the reveal?

[Poseidon]

Black and gold seems to be the theme. Saw some pics of the 2018's at the dealership when we bought my wife's F3T.

[jerpinoy]

It would be nice if the 2018 have leaning front suspention. Most three wheels companies are going for the leaning model. Can am should be not falling behind.

Not going to happen! Can't think of any other production 3 wheel models that have the leaning capability!

[Eugene]

I agree BRP will likely not do it....but, the Piaggio has leaning capabilities! Different league though.

[Bob Denman]

For the current models: it's just BNGs... nojoke

[SPYD3R]

there is truly no advantage to have the wheels lean.... the only thing it would accomplish, would be to raise the price by a few thousand dollar$.....
i like my F3 just the way it is....

[BoilerAnimal]

I lean towards keeping things as they are........at least for the setup as it is now. That does NOT preclude improvements where they are needed. And we all know that there is room for improvement!

[jcthorne]

I sure hope they have something more to show than black and gold paint.

[ARtraveler]

RE: Release date for information. Those who get BRP e-mails will start seeing the propaganda stuff a couple weeks before. Lamont also announces the date/time a bit in advance.

Interested in looking--but no plans on buying. My current two RT's are so far, doing just fine. :yes::yes:

[pegasus1300]

Piaggio (Vespa) in Europe and Honda and Yamaha in Asia make leaners but in all three cases they are smaller then our Spyders.

[wrb3004]

I was wondering the same thing. Last year the reveal was in Orlando on 8/16. Still waiting for the 2018 reveal.

[bmccaffrey]

Don't see anything new to the lineup.

They need to keep making changes or be left behind or worse:yikes: go under

[Chupaca]

The b.lack and gold would be only the 10th year edition. May be other colors for the rest...could be a rim change but not much else visable. As for leaning...it would be costly. Most three wheel leaners featured from time to time have just a skeleton. No frunk, no VSS, skinny motorcycle rear wheel (but then you would need that if leaning) the others are all scooters, besides which I really like the spyder for what it is..:2thumbs:

[SPYD3R]

my dealer told me we won't see them in the showroom until December of this year....
if BLACK/GOLD is all they have, their sales will suffer as they have with the DAYTONA model...
BRP give us something NEW.... 1800cc, a turbo-charged version, turn the key and GO like the cops have, a back rim that you can get at the air-valve without being a contortionist... GIVE US SOMETHING NEW... :lecturef_smilie: :banghead: :gaah:

The fast start code was added to all spyders from 2015 and newer. No need to wait for the nanny to phone home any more. Turn key and when gauge sweep is done, press mode and then start. Display will finish booting on its own time afterward.

[Pirate looks at --]

Some strong hints from some BRP folks that something is coming.....they will not reveal what it is at this time but I am "guessing" there could be an entry level Spyder on the horizon, maybe below the $15,000.00 mark. There will obviously be more colors in all lines than the Black Gold, or that would not be a limited edition so time will tell!

[Bob Denman]

10th Anniversary ordering, ends on October 24th...
The 2018 introduction should be about a Month prior to that.
Let's hope that the entry-level, 600 ACE shows up!

[classicvw]

Dan P
SPYD3R

Absolutely untrue that there is no advantage. I'm not saying they should or shouldn't do it, as I'm sure it'd be a reason to raise the price, and by doing it on only some models, they'd kinda be admitting the old way is inferior in some way. How would they promote it? Safety standpoint?

[Big F]

The new models are released in September. Does anyone know what date the show is for the reveal?

they will announce the 2018 lineup at the annual dealer meeting which is in the middle of September per our BRP rep..
I'm ready to trade my 2014 for a 2018 model so also watching the announcements???
BIG F

[Rob Rodriguez]

Thanks....mid Sept. I'm going to trade my 2012 as well. If the 2018's only have the RT and F3 then I'm going to buy a "new" '16 RSS. There are plenty of new hold overs out there.

[Big F]

My dealer just sent me a message that the dealer show is Sept 20-23 and all of the 2018 models will be introduced/announced...

you mean my 15 rt will start right away ? now i will have to go try it.

[ARtraveler]

RE: Black as a part of the color scheme. Yes--this is the adopted color with gold trim on the 10th anniversary editions.

The first black came out in 2010 as a Premier Edition RTS. The next year, the color black was relegated to the "entry level." Subsequent years have shown black as entry level machines.

I think its time for a "new" color offering for top of the line stuff. :dontknow::dontknow:

Black also seem to be the "lowball" offering color on most other brands.

[Deanna777]

I sure hope they have something more to show than black and gold paint.:agree: I hope they have some different/ new colors to offer for the 2018 spyder line-up.

[Bob Denman]

Just because they announced the 10th Anniversary Models: it doesn't mean that they've got nothing else up their sleeves... :D
We'll know a whole lot more in just a Month!

I just ran out to the garage, it didn't work on my 2015 rts spl. Boo

[MikeT]

Black and gold seems to be the theme. Saw some pics of the 2018's at the dealership when we bought my wife's F3T.
The BNG theme is only for the 10th Anniversary models from what I've been told.

[Bob Denman]

"Just four short weeks..." for some of us, HOWEVER, four L-O-N-G weeks for YOU! :gaah:

Longer than that for me... I have to wait and see when my new bike is going to be delivered. :shocked:

[Deer Slayer]

Shaft drive. Already have the technology in the 4 by 4. Single side swing are is all that is needed.

[Bob Denman]

There's no change like that on the existing models... nojoke

[jcthorne]

Then you did not do the sequence correctly. It works on all 2015 RT and F3.

[Buckeye Chuck 54]

Honda is working on a leaning three wheeled bike. It's called the Neowing. Not much is known about it but it uses a flat 4 cylinder engine, like the older Gold Wing.
Knowing Honda it should work well.
Piaggio makes a leaning production bike, two wheels in the front. I've seen them but they're a little on the small side. Only a 500cc 2 cylinder.

I had the Piaggio MP3 400 for a while. It works well. But it's only a maxi scooter.

Also have a look at tiltingmotorworks.com They will (for $9,995 and up) convert a Gold Wing or a Harley to a two wheel tilting (leaning) front end. 36 inches wide measured from the center of each front wheel. However, you lose most of your ABS features because they haven't figured that out yet.

[Dustoff]

my 2015 RT Limited was Black !!

[Rob Rodriguez]

I really just want a sport model back that has the RS seating/leg position. Simple really.

[Bob Denman]

my 2015 RT Limited was Black !!

I'm gonna have to learn to like it... :shocked:

With enough LED lights and some extra Gold trim; I'm sure that I'll get used to it! :yes:

Hoping that if there are "surprises," that those who have pre-ordered 2018 Anniv. Editions don't get burned in the process. I am really thinking that scenario will NOT happen though.

[Bob Denman]

I had extensive conversations with BRP, and was re-assured that the 2018 models were "mirror images", of the 2017s...
At least the existing models are! Who knows what new machines are waiting? :dontknow:

[eddieshep999]

Then you did not do the sequence correctly. It works on all 2015 RT and F3.

JC What's the correct sequence
I have a 2015 RT SE6 I tried but mine will not start until the full computer boot up has finished The same as my previous 2010 RT SE5 startup sequence was

[Bob Denman]

I'm pretty sure that only the F3 got the quicker start-up.
Us RT owners will just have to wait... :dontknow:

[eddieshep999]

The 2016 RT have the quick start function at least 2 recent owners that have them here in the U.K. have it

[IdahoMtnSpyder]

I was wondering the same thing. Last year the reveal was in Orlando on 8/16. Still waiting for the 2018 reveal.
It's possible that the new model rollout will be delayed. We were told during Homecoming that the Spyder production line is being dismantled and rebuilt as a flexible line, so I think it's possible it won't ready in time for the usual rollout time. This is, of course, pure speculation on my part. They plan to use the new line to assemble Ski Doos in the summer and Spyders in the winter. Up until now it has been idle during the summer.

[Bob Denman]

:shocked: Something that none of us ever wanted to be reminded of! :banghead:

I'm betting on the inclusion of Infinite Improbability Drive to replace the drive belt; and the addition of a Flux Capacitor on the left handgrip. I have some inside information on this.

Doc had it wrong. Cars would have been self driving by then!

If what's been predicted is true, that humans will be forbidden to drive a vehicle ~ year 2050, where does that leave the motorcycling industry? Out to dry?

[Bob Denman]

:dontknow: Who cares? We'll all be "on the other side of the lawn" by then! :D

[ARtraveler]

I like the way this is going. Should I post something along the Sci Fi theme, or a reality theme? :popcorn::popcorn:

Me and my buddy who also bought a 2015 RT SE6 with-in weeks of each other , both fast start from day one. We've posted about it quite a few times already when people were wondering on how to by-pass it.

[Bob Denman]

It looks like more of the same--but that is what HD has been doing since day one. After a few more iterations, they may actually have a 21st century motorcycle. Hope it will appeal to the "new" crowd. Those of us that like them, are slowly creeping over 70.

The dates of the dealer get-together are:
09/20/2017, to 09/23/2017

[jcthorne]

My bet is the Oxford Blue that is currently only on the F3S becomes available on the F3T. The dash/radio system is way overdue for an overhaul.

We could also wish for the elimination of the metal key and DESS system with the addition of an RFID system like Harley has had since 2007 and every major auto maker now uses.

I can still hope for MORE POWER but they likely will ignore me.

We already know there is a new wheel style to be available and likely in something other than gold paint.

[SierraCycles]

The dealer show is September 20-22 in Dallas. The "Global Product Reveal" is scheduled for Wednesday 9/20 from 8:00-8:45 pm. This will be for the full 2018 Can-Am line not just Spyders.

[cowwee]

Roll on the 20th! (21st here in Australia!)
I now have things in place to get an RT....but i really want to wait to see what the 2018 will be! Plus i might be able to get a better deal on a 2016 or 2017!

[stevencovert]

I can see it costs a lot of money for a new body style or something along those lines. Personally I think some of these would be cool:
- New model: Stretched version, 6" longer wheel base with longer seat. I'm a big guy and it gets cramped two up on long hauls.
- Turn the LCD into a real interface like cars? A 6" - 7" touch screen with GPS & bluetooth built in. You can connect both helmets to it for intercom, phone, etc. You would only touch it setting up GPS.
- Turn the analog gauges into power, or several optional items (mounting cup holder, USB interface to your phone, etc.)
- Pre-drilled and capped spot(s) on handlebars for mounting systems
- More better options! Instead of being money grubbers, use the fan base market to add to your catalog. You'll get your cut! Bumpskids, XGrips, LED kits, Sway bar, the cool rims, etc. And the one I appreciate the most working on my spyder - Magic Mirrors Mounts! Tore up way too many cheap plastic pieces.

Things that don't require hardware:
- With the 1330 settled in for a few years now with most kinks worked out, how about a better warranty?
- BRP sponsored events with extended hands on & test drives
- BRP sponsors technicians to go to Canada and get certified. Way too many people complaining their service department lacks in depth training or knowledge. For the cost of a plane ticket and two weeks hotel, you can drastically increase the customer service across the globe.

[MikeT]

With the 1330 settled in for a few years now with most kinks worked out, how about a better warranty?
BRP/BEST needs to make this happen PRONTO, and make it apply to the '14s-17s as well. Talk about Confidence Inspiring. I believe that some of BRP's recreational vehicles have up to a 7 year total warranty.

2 yr warranty is pretty standard in the motorcycle business I think. The BEST extended warranty is pretty cheap really and that gives you a full 5 yrs. Not bad in my opinion.

Personally I think an easy thing BRP could do that wouldn't cost them a lot of money is upgrade their creature features (standard). Specifically, the speedo/info area, blue tooth connections, GPS, radio, heated grips, cruise, options like sport, rain mode. Things that are pretty standard on 2 wheel bikes in the same price range. It's just electronic/programming changes....easy money.

That said. Until they release a bike that has the sport riding position (not cruiser sport......just say no to the F3 riding position(s)) I'll be saving my $ for other toys.

[Tazzel]

I would love a keyless start/entry option.

The black and gold is awesome looking but many many many people just don't like black vehicles.

[jcthorne]

I personally have no problem with the standard 2yr warranty and then purchase additional years. Trouble is, BRP limits coverage to 5yrs. I understand that limit for the early bikes but they really have gotten much better. I think BRP should have it actuaries look at repair cost rates for years 6 and 7 for the 1330 bikes and offer longer BRP Best plans. The aftermarket already is but much more diffecult to deal with aftermarket warranties.

I think there is real money for BRP to make here.

[Bob Denman]

I ordered my 10th Anniversary bike early so that I would receive two extra years worth of warranty at no cost... :thumbup:

[crazycanuck]

I ordered my 10th Anniversary bike early so that I would receive two extra years worth of warranty at no cost... :thumbup:


so 2+2 = 4 or is it $28000 /2/2 = 7000 per year :dontknow:

Please update your RT pics

[cmbspyderrss]

Some strong hints from some BRP folks that something is coming.....they will not reveal what it is at this time but I am "guessing" there could be an entry level Spyder on the horizon, maybe below the $15,000.00 mark.!


Let's hope that the entry-level, 600 ACE shows up!

These sound interesting and would certainly get a few more people on Spyders. Any more info/hype on these?
