There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Good question. :bowdown::bowdown: We only saw a leak once. I think that was about 2010 or so.

I'm not at all surprised. They seem to think that painting the wheels gold is going to make people flip out! These are not collectors items, they're something to ride. Give us something different like performance or technology upgrades, not the same exact bikes with different paint and badging.

If they got fewer orders for them; that means that mine will be even rarer! :yes::yes::yes:

Am thinking that Anniversary editions will not have increased value. Still a bit unhappy over the "Premier Edition" fiasco in 2008 and owned a 2010 RT "Premier Edition." When it came trade in time--nobody cared. :roflblack::roflblack:
The 10th Anniversary editions will be cherished by those who took the plunge--but guessing it will not carry forward to subsequent owners.
It will be interesting to hear how many were special ordered. Based on what I have read and heard on SL--There seems to be two so far from our site. :bbq::bbq:

Someone told me
Sadly it appears that an "entry-level" Spyder will not be in the works this year........but 2019 we should see something for the entry level.:banghead:

Hi Alaska,

It has been around longer than I have: A Fool and His Money Are Soon Parted.

Pet rocks are pretty 'rare' nowadays; anyone think that they are worth more than the rock laying alongside of the road?

But does anyone really want an entry level Spyder? I guess it depends on your definition of entry level?
I mean, based on my personal opinion BRP couldn't power it with anything smaller then the 998 that was in the RS. So there is no savings in engine. You would at least need a 5 speed manual which they could again use from the old RS but I'm sure it hasn't gotten any cheaper to manufacture. So, no $ savings in the engine or transmission. That means you need to find savings in the chassis, plastic, electronics, etc. I'm sure there is savings available in those things but how much really? The last year the RS was produced it was selling for $15K and apparently no one was buying. If you want to compete with other brands you'd have to have an entry level Spyder in the $10K range. I'm not sure BRP is willing/able to do that. I suppose this is a great topic for another thread...."what is an entry level Spyder?"

Not me on entry level any more. Did that with the 2008 SM5. Prefer the dressed up RT configuration here. :yes: They will be good for those that get sticker shock at the $25K plus pricing points for most "dressed" :ani29::spyder2:'s.
And yes on a "What is an entry level Spyder" thread. That could prove to be interesting.

They have SEVERAL engines that would work in an entry-level Spyder... :2thumbs:
The 600 ACE is currently in the snowmobile line-up.
They've got a 976cc Vee-Twin in their Commanders that would also do it!
