• 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.

The 3 wheeled cycle market just got more interesting

Saw this article at Spyder Life Magazine. http://www.financialexpress.com/aut...eup-buys-patent-for-brudeli-leanster/1002602/

Looks like Yamaha will now have 3 reverse trike type models soon. I have to think Honda will be close behind since they have been showing concept bikes the last few years.

What I find interesting.....Both Honda and Yamaha are showing, and in Yamaha's case building, 3 wheeled, reverse trike designs that lean. How long and how many people have been on this forum asking for BRP to have a leaning Spyder? I'm not sure why BRP has such a reluctance to building leaning and performance minded Spyders but this may finally force them to do so.
 
SORRY

SORRY, but this just doesn't compete with our SPYD3RS......
those front wheels need to be connected to a Double-Wish-Bone configuration to compete.... until a manufacturer comes out with a similar configuration, i'm not interested....
i truly hope that :bowdown: HONDA BOUNCEE.jpg is researching a direct competitor to BRP's creation.... :yes:

In the latest issue of Rider Magazine the show some of the Yamaha line up for 2018 and the 3 wheeler is listed there with a projected test date.
 
In the first picture showing the bike throwing dirt from the road, the rider is leaning out from the turn. Not what I would have expected. Still much prefer my Spyder
 
As to why BRP hasn't built a leaner. Don't forget, both Yamaha and Honda are much larger companies and have deeper pockets to do R&D.
 
Yamaha just bought the patent for the Brudeli (spelling?) leaning trike. Check The Kneeslider site.

When and if one of the "big boys" (Honda/Yamaha/Kawasaki) does build some competition for the :spyder2:, it is going to be very interesting. If they are willing to keep the pricing affordable, they will have a winner.

If they use what the market will bear pricing or if they get to the $40's, no, no, no. HD now has some models that reach the $40's.

I am betting the new entry level GW (two wheels of course) at $23,500 is going to take off big time--again. :yes:

I think if one of the "big boys" built a reverse trike design that was designed for a different demographic than the current Spyder line up they would have a winner.
 
Since BRP stock is doing just fine (almost doubling over the past year), either they are making a total killing on other items, which I doubt, Spyders are trivial part of the company, again which I doubt, or investors are not worried about the Yamaha.

Article mentions "unique looking bike".... code for FUGLY.
 
When I was at Homecoming, I noticed that one of the patents on display was for a leaning system. Just because BRP hasn't released one doesn't mean they haven't designed one. Who knows it could be the 10K Spyder coming for 2019.
 
Just not there...

Still these models are like the threewheeled scooters. They have a very narrow stance with a massive amount of suspension parts up front..:dontknow: I personally don't want a three wheel leaner. I would go back to two wheels you loose all the benefits ...
