BTW, I long ago settled matters. Unless/until we get a British Racing Green option, I'm 100% convinced that my next Spyder will be custom painted.
Ironically enough, despite my love of BRG, if I go ahead and custom paint a bike, it'll probably be something VERY different. I've had a super-secret paint plan for a while, hope I get the chance to implement it someday...
From my experience and talking to the mechanics who worked on everything the atv, cycle and snowmobile biz, the 3 cylinder may have the normal 3 cylinder problems that to this day are prevalent. 3 cylinder anything typically have vibration/harmonic problems at a specific cruise speed or within a few miles of a specific mph, and many machines vibrate the heck out of your feet, which is where the vibration goes. One other problem, especially in snowmobiles and other machines is dealing with the center cylinder running hotter then the 2 outside cylinders, which in turn effects how the engine fuel air mixture is figured by the computer. Many 3 cylinders run lean and can burn up engines. Now I'm not saying the latter problem will exist, but it will be interesting to see. We're talking spark plug fouling issues.

No wonder the Can-Am Spyder is so strongly associated with Over the Hill riders....
Was disappointed with last years cosmetic upgrades and just as disappointed with this years focus.
As much as I love my RSS, I WISH Kawi or Suzuki would come up with a Sport oriented Reverse trike as competition so us Sport riders could get our fix.
BTW: No, the ST nor RT provide the same performance as the RSS.
What next year? An on board Dialysis device for those 70+ ?
In my opinion, BRP has again neglected their younger demo. Perhaps the "Younger/RSS" ideology is in violation of the Quebec Charter of Values and BRP has sided with the PQ?

Not a proper remark on the Dialysis, hopefully you will never need to have one of those machines and the horrors that comes with that disease.
