Somehow I'm getting the impression that some of us are getting brow beaten into making BRP put a front handbrake on the rest of the spyders being manufactured or are trying to persuade the rest of us...

Abs sys.are very efficient.The reason BRP did't incl.it on the spyder is because they developed a sys.that as tested worked just fine.ABS sys.have proven themselves time and time again.The spyder is...
