I can buy a snowmobile (from BRP) with a 160+hp 800 engine that will run in the 110-120 range flat out and do some real quick 20-80 times while twisting through trees on an 8' wide snowmobile trail. Miss a turn at 80 and hit a tree and you're dead. Hit a bump at 80 and hit a tree and your dead. Inside ski lift at 80, lose control, hit a tree and your dead BUT there is no nanny on the sled. Just as dangerous but no nanny.
I can buy an ATV from BRP. Same scenario as the sled above except it won't go that fast. NO nanny on the ATV.
I can buy a side x side from BRP. Same scenario as the sled above...NO nannny on the side x side.
I can buy a Sea-doo from BRP........NO nanny.
All these vehicles can be a lot of fun. All of these vehicles can be dangerous if not ridden correctly or over riden by inexperienced users yet the Spyder is the only one with all of this "over control". I just don't understand the logic behind the nanny only on the Spyder and not their other vehicles. If they really feel they need the nanny then they should at least tone it down to not be so sensitive or have an option to disable it. I want to be able to push the RS hard. I want hang off the seat in a corner, I want to be right on the edge of the inside wheel lifting, I want to smoke up the rear tire and leave it in clumps on the pavement.
