• 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.

    Tally Thread: I purchased a new 2020 RT.

    They say 7 is a lucky number , this is Spyder number 7 for me..... 2020 Petrol Dark. Just waiting for the salt to come off the roads.....This is the first Spyder that "checks all the boxes" for me. This is also the first one that I think may be a long term keeper.

    This is Spyder number seven that I have purchased from this dealer . Back in 2008 I was a very early adopter and actually went out to California to ride the prototypes as a guest of BRP before they were ever shown to the public. I was there when they gave Jay Leno serial number 0001. Went...

    The New RT has arrived

    Yes you are correct , it ultimately causes that gap that you see that is visible on every one of them. Does not allow the rear subassembly to come forward far enough.

    The New RT has arrived

    Purchased my new 2020 today. There have been a bunch of comments made by those that have seen the new ones that there appear to be some fit and finish problems where the rear sub-assembly meets up to the back of the seat. After looking at it today and talking to my dealer it appears the base pan...

    Will shaft drive be coming to the 1330?

    FWIW, ‘Most touring’ is a little bit of a stretch , Harley still commands the largest touring segment and is 100% belt. BMW is ‘still’ plagued with weird shaft drive issues on a system they deployed fully 24 years ago. Shaft is definitely something with plusses but belt drive will take us years...

    998cc VS 1330cc engines

    Interestingly enough , do the power to weight ratio on the rs vs the f3 and its going to come down to handling/rider. the f3 does not have a measurable advantage otherwise ....... But doing 25,000 miles on a 2012 RTS and now test riding a new 1330 RTS , these are 2 vastly different motors.

    First Impressions

    "First impressions: seems a little twitchy. I'm thinking tires. Talked with the service guy, he has no problem mounting and balancing non-MC tires so that's to be done soon. The grips were a little tiring on the hands so will look at the foam grips that slide over the stock ones. Not sure about...
