just what they need to get the ball rolling. Lower prices throw out some peeks and see the sparks fly. Then play a bit more with the prices so like I said we are outta the gate... The race is on...nothing to look at yet..

I think the announcements this year are going to be very interesting. These spy shots might confirm the following.
- If they are putting the 1330 in a RS/entry level Spyder then the 1330 should most definitely be in an ST.
- I think the RT and ST designs are too new for a complete makeover so soon, so this mule is probably the low cost entry.
- We still have yet to see what the Lamonster Garage connection is with the announcements... Probably some branding and such.
Now, if they leave the ST alone except for a 1330, I'm buying an ST. If they introduce an entry model that has the 1330 and they don't put it in the ST, then I might just hang on to the 08 longer or go back to two wheels.
5 weeks folks... Time will fly.

This looks like a work in progress. I'll reserve my opinions for the finished version when revealed by BRP.

Wow I love it. Looks like it's gonna be slick. Finally doesn't look like a seadoo with wheels. I'm sure once the camouflage is removed it will be sweet. To bad one doesn't fit in my budget at this time. Now only if it has some more juice then I might have to take some measures!

Maybe. But then, we'll find out eventually anyway!
My observations:
- Considering the ryder's position, I think it's more akin to the ST than the RS.
- I don't care for the front end, but it is distinctive from the existing models. If it's the new entry-level version, I think it should be different.
- With the cowling off around the engine it looks more "motorcycle-ish"
- No windshield? Maybe it will be like the Harleys, everything will be add-on features
-
I honestly think on this ride BRP would not be to worried about how the body looks and more concerned about how the motor ran and the Spyder handled! My guess is definitely the new entry level Spyder!

All the angular stuff going on in the front reminds me of a Slingshot, kinda.

I know that it's "undercover" but I think the current Spyders look better even after they have caught on fire!

"The latest edition of the Spyder is more elemental than the fully faired previous versions, allowing us a look at the Rotax 1330 ACE three-cylinder engine that debuted last year in the 2014 Spyder RT. As Scott Rousseau noted in his review of the 2014 models, the new Triple is a significant improvement over the 998cc Rotax V-Twin powering previous models, boasting significant gains in both torque and horsepower. We’ll assume the motor in this new model will crank out numbers similar to the RT’s 115 hp and 96 ft.-lb. of peak torque."

I'd say forget most of what you have seen. BRP wouldn't take the chance of having anything spoil their reveal. I'm guessing that very little of the cosmetics are what will end up in production. Drive train, suspension, performance are what they are likely focused on and so they made up a nice costume for the test unit.

Don't know that it makes a lot of difference.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

I think an RT is UGLY compared to my STL.
