$10K Spyders for 2019
I probably missed an earlier post or announcement, but I saw someone mention they are waiting for the 2019s at $10K.
Can someone fill fill me in on what Spyders would be available for that price?

TBD
I hear that the dealers have been told a $10K Spyder is coming in 2019. I'm hearing on a different platform than either the F3 or RT. I know no details or even what is true/not true.. Those that do can reply and enlighten us all.

There will be few details available until next year...
Project S is coming...
But you'll have to do some sleuthing on your own, to find any information about them
BRP will keep the lid on this one!

At the last model launch in September brp announced that they are working on Project S, a sub 10k spyder, to be announced next September.
It is real, but we shall all have to wait for any detail.

I think the rumors are that BRP is going to bring out an economy version of the Spyder priced in the $10k range next year. But like all rumors, they're as solid as a white cloud in a blue sky!

10K Spyder
If one looks at what Brp. did in the PWC line with the spark, this is almost a done deal. Affordable ,low power and fun, exactly what a roadster should be.

This "rumour" was started by brp themselves at the September new model launch - complete with bells and whistles, filmed even, seen it myself... More than a rumour I would have thought...

Just what my dealer told me. He's kind of excited. Hoping again to bring in some younger riders. He also said as with the Spark, don't expect the same ride.

They will obviously have to cut major corners to get to that price point. Personally i would be concerned about the quality. I'm guessing a smaller displacement engine which isnt a bad thing but what else would have to be sacrificed? Aluminum parts replaced with steel, a basic no frills gauge package, super basic suspension, much simpler software, etc. would be a few guesses.

yes, the new sub 10k Spyder will in fact be based on the Spark. It will be call the "Park" which is what it will do best.

Here it is, looks pretty basic to me......itank.jpg

I for one wish brp every success with Project S.
More sales equals a better dealer network for existing riders too.
Not everyone needs or wants high cc - indeed for the first three years of a motorcycle license Victorian riders are limited to 650cc. Not everyone can justify a high dollar spend, either.
Whatever it is, it will broaden the range, a good thing I would think.

A few things I think will be seen on the new Project S to get down to that $9,999 price point.
An open frame look with minimal body panels and little to no storage.
A smaller 2 cylinder engine, likely the 600 used in some of the Skidoos. Likely paired with a 5 speed manual trans and a clutch without power assist.
No power steering and a much simplified single channel vehicle stability control system. IE safe but much more intrusive when activated.
Perhaps even loss of ABS brakes although I am less sure how this one would effect the overall design.
No radio, minimal gage cluster, no cruise control, basic lighting. Steel wheels?

2019 Project S
There were 2 BRP reps (2 guys that said they were BRP) at the recent "Spyders in the Hills" event in Boerne, TX. Both would say that BRP was going to announce a sub-$10,000 Spyder in late 2018. The new Spyder would be for around town and short commuter ryders. Both said exactly the same thing about the price and intended use. It was as if they were quoting from the same script, and that is all that they would say. Government beaurocrats should take lessons from the BRP reps on how to keep a secret. Rotax does have a multitude of engine/transmission combinations already in production. Many of these have been around long enough to have reduced their design, production and emissions testing costs. Anything we discuss here is simply conjecture.

We'll all have to keep our eyes peeled, and hope that someone comes across a "Spy-Shot" from the motorcycling press...

Time will tell. BRP has done a good job so far of keeping a lid on actual information and specs. So far, we only know the price point.
All the information above is speculation, but IMO--pretty close to being in the ballpark. Removing 1/2 to 1/3 of the "fluff" from either the RT or the F3 is going to leave a pretty basic machine.
BRP is looking for a younger market and hoping they can get them to "upgrade" to whatever will be offered at a later time. Will it work? Time will tell.
I have driven enough MC's over the years, that an entry level bike is way out of my desires. I have become to familiarized with the Cadillac type ride. My new 900cc, $7K Vulcan is about as "basic" as I am willing to go. I know that I can jump on that one and drive anywhere in the US, safely, happy, and comfortable.
I am still an RT fan. My 2014 RT-S is not going anywhere. I feel the same about it too.
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.
