    Yeah, I got the same survey but only made it halfway through before giving up. The questions were ridicules I thought. Seemed to me like they were asking the same questions just mixing numbers & manufactures. Just ask me a straight question and I'd happily play along.

    I also did, but it looks like that one would be a 500 - 800cc trike. I am like Tim the tool man in MORE POWER!!

    Other than a tiny picture, and no pertinent information: what else do we have on this potential new player in the game?

    But it might just turn out to be nothing more than that anyway.

    If it came from Can Am: could this be the entry-level Spyder that we've all been talking about for years???
    NOW: I'm interested!!!

    Got a CanAm e-mail yesterday, but it was about the 10th anniv. event. Will keep my eyes open for the survey mentioned above.

    I don't need an entry level at this time.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    That's true: I don't need one...


    ..But the Missus?

    It's worth a closer look!
    Hey BRP! Send me the questionnaire, and I'll talk for HOURS about this kind of stuff!

    Possibility--for sure. Usually, an entry level machine leaves much to be desired in the drivability, performance, and comfort areas (because they have to cut costs someplace).

    I would be careful with that one. You could be riding the entry level version and the spouse will take over your current ride.

    Bingo & yes smaller size engine even asks about interest if electric, no name was mentioned (very vague & careful to not hint) the survey was bit off did mix up numbers
    & questions (i think to test if you were reading the questions)
    very well may be a evil misdirection plot from Elio

    morpace.com out of Farmington Hills, MI. I got the survey, too, and the first question was to confirm that I owned a 2015 RT-S, so I trusted that it was being done for Can Am. But it was the most round about, ridiculously configured, useless questionnaire I've ever seen. No place to compose your opinions, questions or thoughts. Just the same, often non-representative, pics over and over again asking your preference(s) in an amateur effort to filter out your dislikes and narrow down to what you might buy. I trudged through it, but kept muttering to the screen, "Why don't you just ASK me??"

    An example of the inept questioning: Throughout the survey, every reference to the amount of cargo space that you'd want only offered three levels; basically none, a laptop, or a helmet. Well, SHEESH, man, I want enough for a helmet and groceries and a sack of horse feed and a jacket and .........

    The way that you described their questions is pretty understandable: they want to NOT be leading you into an answer. They need to make sure, that what you say; is what you want in a bike.
    Example: If you're performing a survey, to assess feelings about the Second Amendment; what would you ask?
    You could ask if a person believes that the Second Amendment is referring to an individual's right to "keep and bear arms".
    Or...
    You could ask is the person believes that fewer guns: means that fewer children will be killed by them.



    It's been done.

    I know what you mean about questions that lead you to desired answers, but that's not how this survey went. You'd have to see this weirdo to know what I'm talking about!
