That's about 7 weeks earlier than their usual roll-out...
I guess that we'll know in about 2 weeks!

Well, that would explain the deep discounts on current and older model stock. My dealer told one of the travelers who was in the market that he just shipped his last two new ones South to another dealer in the lower 48.

Is something "big" about to happen??????

BRP will be announcing the cessation of the " V-TWIN " in the 2016 models ...............which I said 5 months ago.............Mike .................................................. ...........let the " FLAMING " begin

Why Sturgis?
After all; it's largely known as an event dominated by a competing brand of bike.
Sure: other bikes are welcome... but my admittedly "very limited knowledge" of it. tells me that the folks attending there might not be necessarily in the market for a Spyder...

I don't believe it.

Could be their belated attempt to penetrate the market the F3 was actually designed for - while they might introduce a single product there - I still doubt they would completely preempt their dealer meeting with a full public announcement

Sad day for us and BRP!!!!!!!

Only thing I can say is 'You people who are waiting for September better not hold your breath'.
I'm going out for a ride.

These earlier than normal "deep discounts" sure make the owners of '15 models feel real good.

Hey Bob. Eponymous? I had to look that one up! Hope there isn't a quiz.

It almost sounds important; doesn't it?
It isn't!

The links works for me. I just tried it. Yes, it does seem early I think ,usually in Sept. they announce the next years models. Deanna

Maybe they want to unveil in Sturgis to strut their stuff in front of thousands of naysayers and skeptics to show Can Am can play with the big boys just fine! This is the 75th anniversary of Sturgis. Means there will be hundreds of thousands of bikers there. Nothing like trying to rain on HD's parade! I understand it's not quite a Harley's only event like it was many years ago!

[DeanerBeaner]

Maybe Lamonster will take the F3 into the burnout pit in Sturgis

I think everyone here is missing the point. Each and every day, for the next 19 years, 10,000 (ten thousand) people will be turning 65 years old. Lots of those people ride Harley's. What better place than Sturgis to introduce the new line-up of Spyders. Remember, us Baby Boomers have lots of disposable income and I don't blame BRP for trying to gain a share.

[MRH]

I predict (with no basis other than my own conjecture):

A revised RS with the new engine (and other related changes, including limited body updates), and no other major changes to any of the line.

There be may changes to the F3 based on issues that have cropped up, but just corrective changes. I also see at least one more year of the RT with only minor changes and color variations.

It would not surprise me to see the ST be discontinued, remain the same, or have the engine upgrade done to it as well. I wonder what their sales have been like with the F3 available. If forced to make a prediction, it remains largely untouched.

Consistently, there is one major change or addition per year, and the RS is by far the most logical place to update the line this year.

[Lamonster]

This is why it would be a great place for a new product unveiling.

From a marketing standpoint, this makes all the sense in the world . After all, I was 65 when I switched from two wheels to the Spyder. Of all the bikes I've owned, I've never had any reason to choose Harley, but the principal is the same. I would not be a bit surprised if Can Am has a presence there.

You shouldn't be as Lamont just told us he was going to be there with BRP for the announcement and leading a Ryde from the demo area on Saturday!

Yep I find it hard to believe they would announce before the dealer meeting, I havent gotten a reply from there face book page, and they haven't posted on there about it yet, sure has my interest peaked .
