I see that and agree... but the orange and black model scares me that they all have gotten a similar look / style.
I've had so many problems that my dealer has told me they'd twist BRPs arm to get a good price on a 2015 to get me out of the 2012.... but I really don't like the front end on this thing, even if the rest of the RSS keeps the same riding style...
(That said, what do you think my dealer means by saying get a good price out of BRP? We know BRP can discount a year old model by $4000.... for unending service visits, I would think BRP should at least offer a similar amount)
I am an original Spyder owner and still proudly ride my 2008 Premier Edition GS. I love this new Spyder! Not so sure about the feet forward riding, but I think with some aftermarket saddlebags and a windshield, this could easily replace my 2008. I look forward to seeing what aftermarket products become available for this.
It definitely seems geared towards the Harley/cruiser crowd. I never was a big fan of cruiser two-wheelers (I was a sport bike gal), but as a 3 wheeler, I could rock this. :)
Oh... and would you people PLEASE stop comparing this to the Slingshot. They are nothing alike. The Slingshot is a three-wheeled car.... this is a three-wheeled motorcycle. It's apples to oranges. I already have a car, I want a motorcycle and the Slingshot isn't it.... but THIS is! I'm going out of my mind waiting to hear more.
it is THE most comfortable of all riding positions. i don't really see it being a problem in the twisties either, unless you REALLY tear it up. i'm not a tearing it up kind of guy these days, but i have my moments. i look forward to an F3 test ride. :thumbup:
it's been worked on with a dull can opener...serious riders will hang with the RTs....:bowdown:
that's some funny s#&t . i'm sure there are some .:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:. the f3 is for me.:thumbup: ps. i can't believe all the hate this new design is getting. it's likely to add thousands of new spyder riders. maybe some of them will actually like to ride.
I can't wait to try one on for size... :D :clap:
I am hoping that the pictures are still design camoflauge. Love the bigger engine if that is true but it is a ridiculous design if that is really it. We've gone from bike of the future to Klik and Klac's Garage Design Challenge. lol
So, I'm not a current Spyder owner, which may invalidate my opinion but this is exactly what I've been waiting for. I've been look at the RS and ST and not particularly thrilled with either but trying to decide which I could make work with the right accessories, etc. Then I see this, and this is it. I can see myself riding down to the coffee-shop or pizza joint on the weekend and feeling cool or badass or whatever and then hoping on it afterward and heading out of town for some enjoyable, casual riding. Hope this holds true. I was starting to lean toward a HD after spending ages looking at Spyders but now I'm back to Spyders and BRP almost certainly will have a customer in me when this comes out.
I'm liking it so far..... Can't wait to try one out.....:clap::yes:
Love the new foot forward design! Looks like you can position the handlebars as high or low as you want them. (Maybe?)
Nothing like touring down the road, feet forward, the T-Bag as your backrest. Like sitting in a Lazy-Boy.
Yeah, people called my bike a bar-hopper, but I put some miles on her...
Would I trade Spydee up? Nope. Too many miles, too many memories.
I like others hope they don't change all lines to be exactly like that, but I can surely see some great changes. The more open look---does away with any heat issues, if any were there. It might be easier for a lay person to work on, I say MAYBE, at least not having to mess with so much tupperware maybe.
My big concern is for leg position and short stature people like me!
Just my two cents worth but like Bob said, the clock is indeed ticking!!!! tic toc--:D
I like the naked look from the side a lot. The front...not loving it but it's growing on me. Need to see the lines in person. To me the front of the current Spyders is the worst angle. My RS-S looks much meaner from a 45 degree angle or the side than the bug-eyed front so maybe it'll be better.
My concern is that it doesn't look leaner than my RS-S. I'm ready to move up to more performance and at WORSE case I'd like to stay the same weight..this looks heavier in all the pics. So BRP "announced" it today but no specs. Yay.
To me, it has the look of something the boys at PJD might have dreamed up.
Of course, I could be wrong. Senior did something even more outrageous.
Just my opinion. I could be wrong.
I like it a LOT better than the spy pics but need to see it in person before I can say if I really like it. Besides I JUST brought home a 2014 ST-S that I LOVE!
