To the BRPCare Team...

[Bob Denman]

Here's the reply that I got from the Good Folks at BRPCare:

Hi Robert,

Here are some answers to your questions.


The engine, transmission, drive-line and attachment procedure for mirrors all remain unchanged. In addition, your luggage set will fit into the new bike


As for any significant changes in the body work, there will be a special & unique colorization (jet back metallic & liquid gold satin), a special seat with embossed 10th logo & stitches, a 3D 10th logo on the tank cover, a gold trim gauge for RT-L & F3-L models only, a 3D BRP logo (front & rear), satin gold Can-Am logos, a new « Y » Design wheel with each branch representing a year, a rack on the F3-L and mono seats & pod covers for the F3-S.


As for additional gold accessories, we cannot tell for now.



Hope this helps you in your purchase decision

They answered all of my questions completely, and I'm very thankful that they took the time to do so. :thumbup:
I'll go see my Dealer on Thursday, and "Talk Turkey"!

I guess that means other than a possible color there will be no redesign for the RT model. RT needs more forward leg room and bags and trunk that are removable like the F3. More passenger room would be nice. The trunk on the RT is to deep. Need to be wide and long Like F3.

Good luck Bob!

Sounds like what your looking for is an F3...

 

[Purple Guy]

Let us know what becomes of your "Turkey Talk" Bob, like you'd keep it a secret! :roflblack:

 

[Bob Denman]

Actually, I posted Sandra's response in here only because it really let nothing out that I hadn't already seen... So there were no secrets to reveal... :dontknow:

 

[Trailboss]

I'm in total agreement brother

Yeah, what he said!

Sorta but has to have more passenger room. My wife was sitting half way on the hump of the seat and so do I and we are not that big. Needs a longer seat and trunk back 2 inches. Would need a power windshield to. SO BRP Updated the F3 with that stuff or give the RT More driver leg room.

Reading the answers they gave you, all they described are the extras to the 10th anniversary Spyders.

Nothing was said (as I expected) about any forthcoming changes to the 2018 models.

So. we still do not know, should we buy a 10th anniversary machine or wait for a 2018 in the fall.

 

[Bob Denman]

The 10th Anniversary models ARE 2018s...
Outside of BNGs: WYSIWYG

 

[armyspydervet]

I recommend waiting until 2019. Sounds like no changes for this coming year. I know the paint color is nice, but it wouldn't convince me to upgrade. Maybe if I didn't have a spyder or had an older one. But there has to be changes coming, just not for 2018?

 

[Bob Denman]

"Each to their own notion."

 

[cuznjohn]

in a way upgrading to a newer year, is like i do with the same make cars. they don't really change except for color and a little gadget here and there. it is just nice owning a newer one. lets face it, there is not much BRP can do to a RT if that is what you are looking at. other then extras that they already have as extras, and colors, they will be the same.
