The new 2016 RT?

[finless]

There was a discussion on Facebook about if an RT will be built on the F3 frame and styling in 2016.

Someone either drew this or found it somewhere.

What do you think?
I might actually like it

Fanciful dreaming, and nothing else.
But it IS pretty!

(Sigh). It's a beauty! Now I need to get over buyer's regret for my 2014!

Adds some class to the John Deere look!

Looks nice, but I am still in love with my 2014 RT. Now if they were to put the 1330 into the ST platform, then I would have something to consider.

I think your just jealous
But what if this was a reality?

Personally, it is not cost effective for BRP to continue to run 2 manufacturing lines for frames. I am going to bet that this will happen eventually and all models will be built off this new F3 frame.

If it was reality; I'd be disappointed... :shocked:
Why would you intentionally reduce the cargo capacity of a bike designed for Touring?? :dontknow:

Who says you would reduce the frunk? It does not have to be the same frunk as on the F3 like the RS and RT are not the same. I am just suggesting the same frame and "styling" for the new RT. The plastic is just that, bolt on "stuff" to the frame.

Buyers regret? I love my 2014.

No real regret, I just really like the bold look of the grill on that bike. I'll be driving my 14 until the wheels fall off and maybe beyond that.

I agree totally. I would consider the ST with the 1330.

Gotta say..!!

putting the rear end of an RT on the front of an F3 just ain't cutting it for me..:roflblack::roflblack: but then I'm not crazy about the F3 anyway in pictures or in person...but nice for those who do..so will trailers be included with all 16's...:roflblack::roflblack:

The frames are all the same from 2013 on. Only the subframes are changed.

And I don't think you'll see this or any version of it.

This is what people really want.

I know I can always dream, but if I was retired, or had the funds to pay someone to do it, I would install the 200 hp Vmax motor in a St. That would be totally bad a$$:doorag:.
Again, it is only a dream

A nice fantasy picture. Also in the camp that it would be a loss in cargo carrying capacity, which is what most RT owners want.

I note the boss has stated there will be no such iteration in the future.

 

[Jeriatric]

looking forward

Waiting to see what's new from BRP in 2020 opcorn: Or, who else may have entered the market by then. :doorag:

:agree: That will be interesting indeed. I bet the stuff is on the idea board already.

My vision of a slam-dunk change/update to the RT would be a slight re-shaping to accommodate the U-Fit leg positioning system that the F3 enjoys. Otherwise, I'm very happy with my newly-acquired 2014 RT Limited.

The engine and coolant system wouldn't fit inside the current bodywork... :banghead:
