:yikes: Here we go again! :bdh:

Yeah, but it's fun.

Somebody forgot to mention shaft drive.

I want a 650 CC single cylinder Spyder.
Based on the ST, but a single ryder vehicle with a shortened wheelbase and high-backed seat.

:clap: Something for the younger Crowd, Maybe 550 Pounds and Great Performance in a Single rider Platform!!!!
But BRP NEVER goes Backwards?

A much better resale value. That seems more economy based than any thing though.

I think the Spyder is a pretty sweet ride as it is, but being able to lug it a bit would certainly help when on surface streets or traffic. Then an added 6th gear would make sense:thumbup:

Changes to Spyder

When Harley Davidson added that sixth gear "WOW" mega improvement. The RT passenger foot position needs help. The wife has rode over 10,000 miles with me and foot position for her means everything, just our two cents.

Love my 2012 RT as it is….But…… a 12v outlet in the dash area would be very welcome.

 

[docdoru]

a bigger engine,or a added gear.

I have said it before and have been shot down.

A bigger engine for the RT and possibly an additional gear.

There is always room for improvement in a line as exciting as the :spyder2:.

deffinitelly bigger, much, much more powerful engine is a must, especially for RS - thats the way to expand into young community
we dont need or tend to go rocket riding but need to stay within a frame while having fan on enclosed circuits with Pals on weekends, acceleration and top end has to go way up for young souls, can imagine such a line - R line - RS-R - Roadster Sport Race

:agree::agree:!!!!And maybe a bigger gas tank!

RS models:
A stripped down, faster RS, six speed transmission, V4 powered.

Hey!! A SHORT Tourer! :thumbup: :roflblack:

Send me a copy of that pic in a larger size... I'm gonna tease the Missus with it a bit.

 

[MRH]

Sometimes it's the little things...

The RT turn signal is just a b**ch to turn off. The RS is fine. Ironically, I finally got to check out the ST, and the signal switch seems to be the same as the RT. Just make it easy to turn that thing off.

 

[Captain Fin]

Heat

Less heat please. Dont like the smell of raw gas. The new cap seems to make the smell worse.

 

[Bob Denman]

A couple of specifics come to mind...
Redesign the rear luggage compartments for more useful space. The top trunk would be much better with a wider opening; something that you could actually stick a full-face helmet into! The saddlebags could be deeper as well...
The bike is over 60" wide up front; a little bit more width out back would hardly be noticed. :thumbup:

You missed the price under $ 10,000 I really meant under $ 10,000. Elio motor 3 wheel mc is only $ 6800 hyea:

I think you should take the shower off the list. It's just too dangerous. Think about it. If you get shampoo in your eyes you could run over somebody!

Took me a long time to get back to this thread.
I will take two of what he's having, but I want mine with the optional coffee maker and personal masseuse. :roflblack::roflblack:

If that's your idea of Spyder you forgot to include a kennel for your only friend. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

An electrical outlet on the dash...aka a cigarette lighter

 

[Bob Denman]

I'm really curious about this sixth gear stuff.
Perhaps, as per usual, I'm missing something.

When I get to fifth, and keeping the revs above the magic 4K mark of for my SE then I'm flying down the road at about 60 mph.
So I guess my question is, and please make it simple so I can understand, how would adding another gear make things better?

The quick and easy answer; it wouldn't work! :shocked:

fuel economy
higher top end
longer life for engine
possibly bigger gaps between service intervals
