    I thought I read somewhere that Can Am was accepting "pre-orders" and granting the extra years' warranty, through Jan 31, 2020. Wouldn't that mean that there won't be any in showrooms before Feb.?

    I ordered mine In mid September and wanted Petrol Blue, dealer just said he will have it in January 2020. Demo model he gets one in later in December. Oh and the manual for 2020 RT is on line. A lot easier to change oil and air filters via easy off side service panels ��������.

    NOTE - The 2020 Spyder RTL has the same running gear as the rest since 2014, battery and fuse boxes in same place. What has changed is the body plastics, running boards and trunks. So it's same power train they been developing since 2014 and the dash is very similar to the last couple years. Just my preference but I liked the old dash and controls better but I'll get used to new ones when I get mine January 2020.

    That is one of the colors I am also liking for 2020. The other is the red.

    a totally new bike. We can just hope for the best.

    They have posted the teasers and there are some "official" BRP videos out and about. Surprised your dealer is not more on-board with the info. They went to a meeting a couple months ago that showed the new stuff.

    bikerbillone,

    No, I am not getting one. I am going to wait until they work out the bugs. Who knows what BRP will offer in the future in the RT line up.

    I like the red also but my two riding buddies ordered the red ones. So I'm going blue and I like it more now.

    I like the looks of the 2020's but the only thing I would consider an upgrade from my '16 for would be a shaft drive. Dale

    Why is shaft drive so important to the two of you?

    Because the drive belt vibrates like a guitar string and the belt tensioner only helps a little. Also would be much easier to do tire changes with no belt to adjust. Also don't have to worry about rocks getting in the belt. That happened to my friends RTS when we were half way around our Lake Superior tour in Canada. 4 rocks from gravel patch of road. We were lucky it didn't tear the belt or we would of been screwed. No dealers, no parts for 200 miles.

    Thanks for this info. I am still in the hunt for my Spyder, (next year I hope) but I have rented them for weekends 3 times before and fell in love. I never noticed any vibrating belts before. bu it makes sense about ease of changing tires and of course the rock in the belt issue. If one stays on the the road though, are rocks much of a factor? I have a Kawasaki Vulcan right now, belt drive, and have never had a issue and am on the same belt at 80,000 miles. So I was wondering if the belt on a Spyder is more exposed.

    Default Still a bug/butterfly/trash collector

    I was hoping that they would redesign the grill so that it would not capture and collect everything in the world. I have had several occasions where there was a large amount of bugs/butterflies/trash collected and trapped in the grill. The following pic shows the results of a trip from Topeka, Kansas to Deadwood, South Dakota.

    The next pic shows the result from Hastings, Nebraska to Fort Lupton, Colorado.
    0912190907.jpg

    I believe that I have solved this issue with a grill protection (unlike the Knotts grill which mimcis the same direction of the OEM grill). This grill is toward the very front of the Spyder and is sloped so that the bugs/butterflies/trash is directed away from the Spyder rather than being captured. I bought this from a fellow ryder at Spyderfever. It is his design and homemade. I love it.

    I followed a silage truck after putting on the new grill covering and had no trash caught (but did have some in the treads of the front tires). For all those that have seen all the silage/trash coming out of silage trucks you know how bad it can get.

    If you stay on all paved roads no problem. But it is almost impossible to avoid road construction. Motorcycles have curved tires that dont pick up rocks easily. Spyders have car tires with deep flat tread that tends to pick up rocks which can end up in the belt fairly easily. The belt vibrates most at hwy speed above 70 mph. I still love everything else about the Spyder. It is a fun ride.
