[spydernatic]

I think I saw the new motor that will go into the 2020 Spyders it is 1630 4 cyl it will not be supercharged and will not be push out 300 horses but will be in a detuned state at around 130 to 150 horses ...just my opinion ..what do y'all think

I think you should post a picture or a reference.

Sorry my mistake it will still be a 3 cylinder ACE motor .
Remember this is just my opinion I may be way off the mark

1,630 cc four-stroke, Rotax with three cylinders in-line and four valves per cylinder

Sweet!

Looks like a PWC watercraft engine to me. Just a guess.

[SpyderCruiser]

That is the engine that is in my jet ski 300 hp, it hauls ass. It is also supercharged.

[bscrive]

Yep, that is a PWC motor. Look at the water pump.

It would be cool if they did put it in though.

[mhopkins2]

Would be just fine with me. Wheelie bars if necessary.

I'm thinking this is fake news.

You guys crack me up!
A larger displacement engine (with more torque and horsepower) will require major revisions to the chassis and suspension, the VSS, the driveline...
You'll probably need to carry more fuel....... most likely it'll burn more also...

Why not wait until at least the 2018s are out; before starting up another "Silly Season"?

[ARtraveler]

Ima, waitin, and Ima watching. 1600 is getting closer to that magic GW 1800.

For me, it would take at least that to get me re-interested in another new one. PS. I am still a very happy Spyder owner, just not going to upgrade to get the latest color.

[Chupaca]

there is that song "Wishing and hoping".... I think their issue now is the under 10 unit....

[jamesls]

When do the 2020 RTs come out ? And how low will the 2018 drop in price ?

[taxmyzer]

here is the link. Would sure like to see this on the redesigned RT! Just saying BRP hope you're listening.

They will be introduced in early September. The impact on the 18s will be minimal. That hit already happened when you drove it off the lot!

I hear BRP is adding another wheel, roof, air-conditioning, doors and seat belts.
I understand they are also adding a breathalyzer so you'll need to blow your ride.....for safety.
Lots of fun stuff coming in the future....like Google self driving motorcycles.

whatever you guys are on I think I want some...

[jcthorne]

The engine in that photo is not for a Spyder. Its turbocharged and there is no way a 1600cc turbo 4cyl is going on a Spyder. Second, it has water cooled exhaust manifold, its a marine engine.

[Bob Denman]

One thing is for sure: We'll know a whole lot more about this in September...

Isn't the Silly Season FUN??

[Rob Rodriguez]

I think its fair to expect we will see this engine in a Ryker in the 21 or 22 model year.

[Geep]

Due to recent changes in environmental laws, Canadian market Spyders will burn pixie dust while US models will run on coal.........

[Cruzr Joe]

With all the rain we have been having ................... a marine engine will be just about right.

I don't think the F3's could handle anything more than the Stage 2 upgrade. Another 30-40 hp & #torque you'd be spinning thru 1st & 2nd gear, Since it's not the most aerodynamic ride on the planet---cross winds could be a serious issue at over 120 mph--not many ride at that speed--wisely. All my life I always wanted a vehicle with just a little bit more power, then I had the engine rebuilt on Suzuki Hayabusa with turbo. Dyno RWHP was 344hp & #212 of torque with 19 lbs of boost on a 530 lb bike. I changed my mind on wanting more.........................

[Wahrsuul]

Might not spin the tire if they'd put a bigger one on there.
