    Default Thou Shalt Not Steal !!!

    Well I did. I stole the 1000 cc idea from Lamonts GS Spyder and I'm using it on mine with a slight twist. My Spyder now has a 1000 cc Intel core processor with 64 bits of rubber coming off my rear tire. Thanks Lamont for the idea !!! I also added yellow pinstripe to the front wheels for the six legged Spider look.

    The worst part is, with the factory decals people think it's a 990.

    Insurance wouldn't be affected by a decal on the side, would it? You can call it anything you want but it's still a 998cc....isn't that what the ins. folks go by?

    I believe anything over about 600cc is higher rate

    Default DECALS

    Nice Randy...Insurance co's vary but I agree with Dragonrider...aaaaaand the reason BRP calls the a " 990 " is the cost of the " zero " decal was way less than the cost of the " eight " decal....IMHO knowing BRP'S way of thinking..... ...................................MIKE.....

    998 or 1000. 1000 sounds better and it does look good on your machine but I just tell anyone to get outta my way. These things are three wheel rockets and cruise all day at 85 to 90 no problem.

    The size of the engine is in the VIN so brp can't hide it with a sticker, Also price of the vehicle, and age of the rider, among other thing's will figure in insurance costs. ie, Driving record, where the owner lives and if they park at home in a garage, And how many accidents that class of vehicles tends to be involved in. [An actuary figures that out]

    In Alberta ,Canada, over 1000c, does DEFINETLY , PUT YOU INTO A HIGHER THAN NORMAL insurance bracket. Maybe in this instance BRP did something correct for a change ??? Not sure, but still love my SPYDER

    Sorry that I'm late to the party... The c.c. breakpoints where the companies adjust their rating structure is completely unique to each of them... That's how they can justify their pricing and keep their rates competitive.
