I totally agree with you. In another post on here I stated how I was wishing they would have made a Spyder GT or RXT for 2011, like they do for their watercraft line up. A higher performance version of the Spyder from the factory would be really cool to see.

None of these machines is streetable like the Spyder. I think that is the difference. BRP went out of their way to make this one represent safety first, and they tied down the engine programming so that even their techs cannot change the timing or mixture. I don't think you will ever see an "X" package for this one.

Yup.. I really like the Limp Mode at 75 MPH while boxed by other traffic on the interstate... That has happened to two forum members...
Sometimes in trying to make a safe product, the safety gets in the way of logic, and can get people killed. I hope they can design that part of limp mode out of the Spyder.

Although I am of the opinion we will see a X package of some nature probably in 2012.
Please Scotty just let me dream
I'm tryin' to plant a seed here, give me fertilizer

Don't get me wrong, I would like to see it, too. I even suggested it on a thread about possible improvements. They could make some money selling a variety of springs and shocks. I just don't think they want us to push them harder.
I'll join you in your dream...or stop dreaming and buy aftermarket. Don't ask me for fertilizer, though...I worked at a s**t plant for 27 years. That kind of fertilizer is messy.

I'd like to see an X package too. It would sure help with the landings. These things jump great but they land like a sack of potatos.

After much ryding of twisties at SitS, I can definitely say I need to make some changes to my Spyder as well. The first will be new front tires, then a sway bar, and then new shocks. I also need to do some self modification and attempt to shed quite a few pounds.

Sat down with a dealer i've ridden with before and was told an "X" package is basically a done deal.BRP will intro. it when the economy picks up and like with there other lines has it in order to sell the "sizzle" an keep sales coming.They must be aware that a upscale shock package like is available on their sled line-up would sell.They have been in the toy market a long time and wont put all their eggs in one basket.

I will be very interested in seeing what they eventually come out with.
