Someone wanna tell me what the BRP people are thinking?
I am sure glad I bought my ST-S this summer because the new colorations make the 2015s look like 3 wheeled clown cars!
-
I am sure some will have an opinion different from yours.
-
I'm sure there will be folks that love the colorations. I was just not expecting what I saw and I'm still laughing. I wanna make the green one the background on my computer at work, it will keep a smile on my face all day

We'll.....some are ok and others I would not want to be parked next to.

100% agreement on that green color combo. I can't imagine how the hell that color scheme got through how ever many levels of BRP approval before getting the stamp of approval for production!

i agree, but if you go up to quebec, there are a ton of houses painted that color, and even some a little bit "brighter"! it's going to appeal to some, but it sure doesn't strike me as something i'd put in my garage. (the orange, black and white, maybe, just maybe)

They could have just gone all Black on everything. Wouldn't that be exciting, seriously, I like the "out of the box" color schemes. Every color doesn't appeal to everyone. That's o.k. it is not H.D. we don't have to have a black one to be "cool". I like blue, always have on bikes. They didn't do a blue RT but I can see myself on the dark red. Now if I can figure out what color stripes to put on one

If I was buying a bike this year it would be the blue ST limited, really liking the blue and the RT SS red and black combo with the low windshield.

I suspect they are aiming to expand into a younger clientele.

If we were all the same, we'd still all be driving black Fords . . .

It seems all the other models are still available in solid colors, and I actually really like the two-tone RT Special Series colors, but it appears the RS-S is ONLY available with the super-bright multicolor schemes. People can like or dislike what they want, but I am sure glad I got a Magnesium/Black RS-S when I did. Those RS-S colors would be show-stoppers for me. No way would I buy one.
I have to wonder if there are a lot of unsold 2013 and 2014 RS-Ss out there in the pipeline they want to sell.

I like black. Its just the way I roll....
While other colors are fine as well, I just don't get the "carnival" paint....
The last time I had orange on a wheel was when I was back In college and had a car that was booted awaiting to be towed..,haha

The blue STL is really nice. My wife loves the colour. As for the other combinations.....not so much. There are a lot of younger riders that love the colours they are using and I think they will sell. I do have to say that the colours that they use are distinctly French in origin. I work in Gatineau Quebec and I see many of those colours in their artwork and homes. The dark red and black on the RTS-S is awesome. My wife wishes that they would put that on a STL. Who knows, maybe I will be painting her STL sometime.

Then it would be the green goblin mobile
I think they would look better on your black one since Halloween is coming :-)

I thought that some of them looked like Kindergarten Art Class colorings, had gotten mixed in with the Dad's office-work...

As for the younger demographic. .. I just showed pictures of the clown spyders to my kids. Both boys, one 19 and the other 15. I didn't say a word, just opened the pics on my computer and asked them what they thought...they both laughed and my youngest asked if that was one painted up for the circus....

I'm just passed @ BRP at the current moment. Screwed again on a 2012 rt limited rear tire. There customer service sucks and can't wait to file suit against them for putting me on the road with a recalled tire.

To advise any spyder owners that can am is putting your safety at risk and anyone you have as a passenger. There selling old part number tires to us to get rid of what they know is a bad tire, and has been issued an update on new tires but wants it hush hush. Sorry if I interrupted your forum bit thought you owners should know to check your tires before you ride because your lives depend on it. I would absolutely want to know if I was at risk with no knowledge.....
