BRP competition

[Can-Am Poogs]

It looks like BRP is going to be getting some friendly competition on the reverse trike market and my friends to the south are going to be the first to see it:

For the BMW Taurus to be true competition, most of us will need a 3x pay raise!

There are guys out there with the cash, think nothing of it.

Saw a Honda Trike the other day for $62,000 (used) ....somebody is buying this stuff.....

$89,000!! Ouch!! I can't imagine the price on accessories for this thing haha! I personally do not like the look of the the front end at all!

And my wife says, "And no windshield????"

IMO, to call it ugly would be to compliment it! :roflblack:

Kinda ugly looking if you ask me... lots more horsepower (175hp), but only 15-20 mph faster than a Spyder RS with a 100 hp engine. What's up with that? :dontknow:

No Frunk, either. LOL!

Anyways, no matter the cost I don't like the looks of the thing. The Honda Goldwing reversed-trike conversion was much better looking IMHO. The Spyder being the best looking, of course! :spyder2:

Then there's this, from Holland. The Goldwing R18. Didn't even know it existed until I saw an ad today in Wing World magazine. I get the impression this company is actually producing them for real, not just for speculative show.

One of our sponsors is assembling them in the US. I believe that tomorrow is the big reveal in Daytona

We showed off our bike to day and last night here in FL. Bruce,did our bikes

 

[Bob Denman]

It's inevitable that there's gonna be more folks showing up to this party..
Competition improves the breed... :thumbup:

Not sure if it was your bike, but there have been pics all over Facebook of the Honda trike.

Looks very similar to the Can Am, but I'm sure more money being a Honda product.

Personally I think it would be crazy to spend over $25,000 for a motorcycle, I could buy a decent for a little more.

 

[Mt-man]

At that price I'll take two :cheers:

 

[OldCowboy]

That is about as much competition to :spyder2: as Ferrari is to Chevrolet. Which is to say not at all.

 

[OldDog]

Nice, but outta my league

A 2015 ST SE6 May be more my in my price range if I can get the CFO on board.:roflblack:

 

[Bob Denman]

We're still keeping our fingers crossed for you; Bro! :thumbup:

 

[ARtraveler]

Been watching this for awhile. I like the Taurus a lot. At $89K that's about $60K to pricey for this man's pocketbook.

Well wishes for those who can justify the purchase of the product. It should be a real great ride. :thumbup:

 

[Bob Denman]

:agree: It's an exciting time to be watching the market; even if you've already made your purchase! :2thumbs:

 

[jerpinoy]

I can always dream like others but I'm not trading my 2012 RT.:yes::yes::yes:

 

[Bob Denman]

But; Shaft Drive...
Think about it! :thumbup:

 

[NancysToy]

I can't afford one, but if I could I would sure try one. I wish Doc and Forrest all the success in the world.
