2013 Spyders When will info be public?
I am finially ready to buy my first Spyder RT limited . I am not sure if I should wait for the 2013 model , if I knew now that no changes were made I'd pull the trigger now. Suspense sucks... Does anyone know when they will make info public?

New models always have changes
There is a constant state of change some of which is not advertised; never is. BRP knows what systems are less than perfect and they keep tweaking them to make them better.

My bad, it is the 23rd.

Ahhh.... We thought that you might have been trying to sneak some late-breaking news to us about a delay in the release date...

I would wait unless you get an awesome deal now

Just my 2 cents but I would wait the 3 1/2 weeks to find out. If you buy a '12 it'll be a model year old in a couple of weeks, which hurts it resale value later. Unless a dealer is blowing it out to make room for the '13 I'd wait, again just my 2 cents...

I bought my 2010 in January 2011, and got a great deal this way. Waiting has it's advantage sometimes.
Is it Friday yet? ... Oh yeah, I forgot. I'm retired

With the way the machines are apparently selling, I would venture to say that BRP won't make much change in the basic design and features until the present model runs its course. I think they can keep growing their market with cosmetic stuff like colors, options, etc.
It would seem to me that there isn't a huge market above thirty grand, so that would seem to limit 1,500 or 1,800 cc's and a huskier tourer. There is a market there, just not a big enough one IMO.
There may be a market down in the ten to twelve grand area for them. Maybe in the 700-750 cc range with fewer bells and whistles. If I was their marketing guru that is probably where I would be looking.
Penny and Rick have owned many motorcycles starting in 1974 with Hondas, then to Suzukis, Gold Wings and ultimately Spyders.
74 Honda 360T (pair); 78 Suzuki GS 1000 (pair); 82 Honda Aspencade; 84 Honda 400; 87 Yamaha 1100; 99 Honda Valkyrie; 01 Suzuki Burgman(triked); 02 Honda GL 1800(triked); 10 Spyder RTSE; 11 Spyder RTSM; 12 Spyder RTSL (pair); 20 Spyder RTL (current)
