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.

Shaft drive for the spyder is likely not too far away. For several reasons. imho

A point to ponder.
The 2014's will be an opportunity for BRP to redeem themselves from the issues that popped up on the 2013's.
Many people have reported no issues, but our site has been filled with complaints about a lot of mechanical issues. IMO: a lot of potential buyers may not go to a 2013--just in case. There may be some real deals available on holdover 2013's when this season ends.
If the 2014's do not have the issues of the 2013's, I think it will be onwards and upwards. If problems persist--then--there may be some problems for the brand.

We'll all know more, once some actual information starts getting to us... :bbq::bbq::bbq:
Then; we'll just have to wait for the actual owners to start singing...

#1. Agree, as long as it's reliable information based on appropriate and proven testing.
#2. Hopefully, the signing will match the information released.

I'm thinking my finances are aligned for a 2014 model rss. I must admit I am worried about the reliability of the spyder. I wanted an ST but after reading pretty much every night on this and a couple other forums, I have little trust in that machine. The rss seems to be the model that has the least of the complaints arise. I really hope they figure out the heat on all models.

They wouldn't...
Shaft drive adds weight, complexity and a bit of ineffieciency to the drivetrain.
It's a lot simpler to use and maintain; that's about the only advantage that I'm aware of... :dontknow:

Reliability seems to be the topic for the 2013... If your superstitious 13 may not be you number. You would think the engineers would've gotten the bugs out and the assemblers would do a better job. We will just have to wait and see. Less heat, rides straight, bigger engine, better mpg.... Lets hope they listen. I love my spyder but as of late I've been considering and HD trike... I have more time for longer trips and being that HD shops are everywhere it gives me peace of mind. My spyder has been very reliable on two trips from Miami to Tennessee but she is an 09 and from all the complaints I don't have confidence in the newer models. Get it right BRP I love the attention and the spyder rides so much better than a traditional trike.

Agreed, bigger engine and less rpm while cruising the highways, which hopefully mean more range per tank.

How about better gas mileage, handling, 1300cc size engine that runs on regular gas and a comfort seat standard equipment on Limited models, am I asking to much?

1300cc! Why not go with a 2000. Kawasaki must have a ton of those laying around from the failed sales of the Vulcan 2000.

Brings to mind that old saying, "You can please all the people some of the time, and you can please some of the people all the time, but you can never please all the people all the time."

I had a Vulcan 2000. That was a real nice machine. It was just to big and heavy for me to heft around. Were BRP to do that, I can already see the complaints starting from the fact that you are only going to get about 7000 miles out of a rear tire. VROOOOOOM VROOOOOOOOOM :roflblack:

The 3 litre engine would be nice, but I'd prefer an 8 speed automatic, a Stereo system by Bose, A programmable Nanny that would allow me to commit suicide by motorcycle (should I so choose...), and enough storage capacity to make the 622 seem like a shirt pocket.. But i'd be willing to pay $17,599 for it!
