People who don’t believe there will be a 10k Spyder don’t follow the motorcycle industry as a whole. All major brands are developing lower cost platforms to market to millennials and commuters. Look at Indian and HD and you will see their versions of these bikes. If you buy it or not is another question. I don’t think it will be marketed toward the RT or the F3 rider unless it is for a second machine. IMHO

The secret S
I want one for the wife. But then she will probably get the RTS and I will get the new one. But it works for me.

It certainly is going to have a smaller motor, and very limited creature comforts. My bet is that none of us would buy one. If they are making a budget model it will be for an entirely different demographic.
I definitely would want one. My wife and I share a 2017 RT Limited and can't justify spending the same amount of cash for a second one on the current Spyder prices. Now give the option of a cheaper Spyder and you'll see each of us riding around town on our own reverse Trike. I think the biggest question will be are you better off in buying this cheaper but new version of a Spyder or are you better off buying a used more featured Spyder for not much more? Time will tell.
I do indeed hope this cheaper Spyder does reach an entire different and younger demographic. It's pretty unsettling for my wife and I to be in our 50's and find out we're the youngest couple (sometimes by a decade or two) when we're riding with other Spyder and Harley Davidson riders. No offense to our older friends (we love them to death) but when you have younger riders with you in the crowd it's nice to be reminded the importance of being "young at heart". It's also nice to be challenged by the younger adults...to show you can still keep up with them (on a good day).

I am not seeing anything on the Can-Am Facebook site. The Sep 3 email clearly said tonight, 9pm MDT.
Looks like I stayed up for nothing.

Looks like they're posting it as I type this.
It looks like a much lower riding position -- er, center of gravity.

Some cool features.. but ugly as sin...
Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

Pretty ugly.
I can't imagine it would appeal to millenials.
If it ain't broke, don't break it.
