    Default BRP called and they want their Spyder back

    Actually they emailed me and said it is time to give back the test Spyder. I've had it since Jan 2nd and it had 1300 miles on it. It should be really close to 10,000 when I take it back on Tuesday. It had been awesome and performed almost flawlessly. It was great having two 2014s in the garage but it will be nice to have some room to move out there.

    I took it in the Ladies trip to NM in Jan and we took it on 2 trips to CA and it is in Tuscon this weekend. Thanks BRP and I hope you don't mind that I ride the heck out of it.

    Were you hoping that they might have forgotten about that bike?

    Great while you had it, but you cannot ride both at the same time. I would think it feels better riding yours anyways

    Default BRP Called

    Good morning SpyderAnn01:

    You said "the Spyder operated almost flawlessly", can you tell us what it did or did not do?

    Thanks and be safe out there.

    They could send it here for some more testing.....if they would send some decent weather with it. Still snowed in here in Michigan. I'd give almost anything for a Spyder ride.

    Cool RSS owners opinions for RT testing whatha think BRP.

    Hey BRP how about offering a RTS to some of us RS riders for testing to get our opinions as to weather we would upgrade to a touring machine, It seems all the testers have been RT owners what you say BRP.

    They may be loaning them out to current RT owners, in order to stir-up interest in a market that's already "keyed-in" to this type of bike.
    They probably figure that You sportbike guys, just don't like riding around on "Winnebikos"...

    I think that BRP should consider some "rugged Alaska Testing." If they send it to my dealer, I could start riding the same day it arrived. HINT, HINT, HINT I have done a lot of miles in Alaska with my own four machines. HINT, HINT, HINT

    I would even throw in some great scenery pictures. See my albums and signature pics BRP. HINT, HINT, HINT.

    The logistics probably are not practical for this part of the world though.

    Default BRP take note

    I was fortunate to ride this 2014 RT SE6 when Ann & Joe were aligning my GS. Since I was able to take my time and ride on familiar roads, I was able to get a real good feel for the new '14's. Ann was so gracious to also let me ride her new SM6, which helped me make the big decision. I am seriously researching the availability of '14 SM6's now.

    Just so you know BRP - Ann is a great ambassador/salesperson for you.

    Ann, during all those miles, how often did the oil get changed and was much, or any, added between changes? With 1500 on mine no oil at all was added, unlike my previous 998 which used about 4-6 oz per 1000 miles.
