• 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.

    Is Honda copying the Spyder?

    I received an email from a local Honda dealer and it had these 2 pics included with the caption: Coming Soon. Is Honda copying the Spyder?

    INSURANCE RECOMMENDATION S

    Well, in some places it has almost nothing to do with your driving record. They are using credit scores now to determine your policy costs, which it total BS, but they can get away with it b/c or reps don't really represent us anymore. Two people can live on the same block and have all the same...

    Experienced a DESS error for the first time at Spyderfest? Please read this!

    Well that's just crappy engineering if you ask me. You'd think that you would be able to resolve this issue or reengineer that.

    Spring Fever Sales Event

    Local dealers here in the DFW area had the 2015's on sale for $21,800 for an RT-S. I purchased mine a few weeks ago and took the zero percent interest. It basically came out to the same price. My final price was $24,576.

    Any North Dallas Riders?

    Just purchased my RT-S last Saturday. I'm on the southern end of Dallas.

    Thinking of buying a Spyder RT-S or Limited

    Well it's not through BRP and according to the fine print, it's non cancellable. Guess I should have read it before signing it. Oh well, as long as they honor the plan, I suppose I'll live with it. As mentioned before, lessons learned. Thanks

    Thinking of buying a Spyder RT-S or Limited

    OK, I took the plunge today on a 2015 RT-S - Black. Wanted red, but black was the only one left in the 2015 model. Gonna play around and get familiar with it. The only thing I'm hating so far is the key - No way to add a key-ring (what's up with that)? I did purchase the maintenance plan...

    No, I'm going to Louis Powersports in Greenville. You don't really save a lot of money by purchasing the maintenance plan. I guess the big advantage is not having to come out of your pocket at that particular time. We'll see what happens on Saturday. I'll let you know.

    I think that DESS problem still persists b/c there is a couple in our motorcycle group that have the 2015's and one of them had the issue with the key and had to take it back to BRP for repair. Not overly worried about that as much as I am for general maintenance costs.

    Went to the dealer yesterday to purchase one of these bikes. I asked the salesman, "how much are oil changes on these things?" He said, "anywhere from $280 to $300". What the What? Really? Is that normal? What do you guys pay for your oil changes?

    Thanks for the info. Yes, it's a man-made machine, so I do realize there will be some issues. I'm currently riding a Honda CTX 700 DCT and love it. Love the Spyders too. Think I'll go ahead and make the purchase on tomorrow.

    Thinking of buying a Spyder RT-S or Limited

    Well I have test ridden it a few times. I've heard maintenance nightmares and the expense of them, so was wondering what is and is not valid. I do LOVE the ride of them and they are definitely fun!

    Thinking of buying a Spyder RT-S or Limited

    So I'm thinking of making this purchase, but wanted to get feedback on the reliability of this bike and what do you guys NOT like about it?
