• 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.

    Touring Comfort Inquiry

    I have watched the video you are referring to, and the discussion about swaybar is very confusing. I reached out to BRP to clarify exactly what swaybar will come standard with the 2020 RT Limited, and they referred me to my dealer who "is more than just a sales office". Of course said dealer is...

    Touring Comfort Inquiry

    There seems to be some confusion (for me at least) about the handlebar options for the 2020 RT Limited. My understanding is that starting with the 2020 model year the Tri Axis will no longer be available for the RT, but the U Fit system will be available. I base this on conversations with a...

    Touring Comfort Inquiry

    Thanks for all the thoughts and encouragement. I put Russell Day Longs on my last two BMW's and am very happy with those saddles. However, since the 2020 Spyder RT Limited looks to have a new seat position and design, I will put some butt miles in before making any decisions saddle-wise. As I...

    Touring Comfort Inquiry

    Hi All, I am very close to making the decision to sell my BMW R1200RT and get a 2020 RT Limited. This is my 2nd BMW RT and I have a love/hate relationship with the bike. I mostly use it for long rides/touring and for that it is superb. Once up on the highway it rides like a dream. However, it's...

    2020 Spyder Orders

    I'm in the market for a 2020 RT Limited, and thi is a good thread to ask a question I have: What is the incentive to pre-order? I have received price quotes with and without my BMW bike trade from a couple dealers, and to be honest, the pricing has not been impressive to me. Other than getting...

    2020 Spyder Orders

    Can anyone confirm if the 2020 RTL pre-order promotion is ONE YEAR or TWO YEARS additional BRP warranty?

    Another car tire thread

    Yesterday I visited my local Spyder dealer to discuss options and pricing for a 2020 RT Limited. I brought up the subject of tires, and specifically whether they would mount car tires on my Spyder for me. The service tech response was "we could mount them, but we would then have to fail the bike...

    Vee tire or Kumho Ecsta

    Does anyone have any experience or comments on these new Kenda KANINE KR 20's? I know this is a question for a dealer, but I'm wondering if it will be possible to have them installed on a new 2020 instead of the "stock" Kendas? I"m planning to meet with a dealer in the next few weeks to...

    Free dealer oil changes?

    Me either, and it seems like a pretty big "ask". I'll be surprised if many here have heard of it either. Thanks!

    Free dealer oil changes?

    I was watching a Youtube video where a dealer representative (All Out Cycles in Chesapeake VA) was being interviewed. The rep stated that if you buy a new Spyder from them, they offer free oil and filter changes for as long as you own the Spyder. I've never had that offered on any of my prior...

    OEM Tire Upgrade

    I like this idea! As much as I respect everyone's input about riding the Kendas since I will already have paid for them, my 2 wheel experience has been that I always put the absolute best rubber on, and change out before they really need it. I think tires are arguably the most important...

    OEM Tire Upgrade

    Thanks for the replies folks! I was hoping to get something different put on from day one, but will live with the Kendas for a while as everyone has suggested.

    OEM Tire Upgrade

    Sorry in advance if this question has already been posed to the group. I'm planning to pre-order a 2020 RT Limited, and will be meeting with the dealer to discuss options and pricing in a few weeks. My question is whether it's possible to have the Spyder fitted with tires other than the Kendas...

    Planning to join Spyder Nation

    Thanks to all for the encouragement and advice. I am a little bit worried about losing the 2 wheel gyroscope effect, but overall I think a Spyder will work for me. I'm also a big bicyclist and converted a couple years ago to a tadpole trike for less wear and tear on the body from riding a...

    Planning to join Spyder Nation

    Hello all, just wanted to introduce myself as a prospective new Spyder owner. I'm planning to trade in my BMW R1200RT for a Spyder as soon as the 2020's come out. As much as I love riding on 2 wheels, I'm just ready to try something different. From my test rides at the dealer so far, I'm leaning...
