    Yeah, they seem to have mixed the RS facts in there quite freely! I think you will be safe flying your Porsche Carrera through their town.

    Heck if I had known BRP was offering THAt kind of a factory paint job I would have opted for it! Imagine all the tickets a person could avoid just by looking like the law!

    I actually like the graphics on it as well. I do find it interesting that they say the design inspiration may have come from a lawnmower.
    Very Happy Spyder Ryder!

    Default Maybe they put a few more ponys in

    The engine in the Crown Vic that Ford sales to the law has a bit more juice than the one they put in the family sedan. Maybe the Rotex in this one is more like the version the Aprila uses?

    Great...instead of coming on the power band at five grand or higher, the cops need to wing 7,000 rpm to keep their RT running decently? I'd be really surprised at that.

    Seems like a clever engineer could come up with a usable compromise between the stock Spyder 106 and the Aprilla 150ish Engines.
    May be a moot point as the article seems to indicate they may be using it more as a PR tool the a service bike.
