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.

Wow. Well. I'll have to echo the current trend of sentiments and say the poor thing has a major case of the Fuggs. Also known as the Fuggles or Fugglies. :wrong:
The RS/RSS models look massively sleeker, sportier, and more futuristic than this turdly looking "thing".
But that being said...I'll play the devils advocate here for a minute. I'm wondering if BRP leaked these just to create a stir/buzz and get some attention in the communities. It's what is happening in this very thread isn't it? I'll bet that it will look much MUCH better when released.
At the minimum, we can pretty much see that:
-this is the new entry level spyder
-it's pretty bare-bone...no windshield, no frunk (from what I could tell?)
-looks to have an Ace engine from what we can see, probably the 600
-BRP has tweaked some things like the rear swing arm
-new radiator/heat management design to address the #1 issue with spyders

And another photo...
Now I like the look of this but think the bars need to be more forward and the pegs further back to give it a more street fighter feel (I know most Americans prefer the laid back position so I'm guessing that's why it's like this). With a more forward riding position it would almost be a 3-wheeled Katana from this angle. I also like the exposed engine, I've been playing with the idea of stripping some of the panels from my RS but the oiltank and rad limit what you can get away with.
Question is, how big/powerful is that engine?

I like it.I think it looks good and more like a motorcycle than a Snowmobile.Hope they beef up the RTs in a similar way.

The Spyder already has a street fighter look with the feet back and bars forward. RSS. It looks like this is trying to be a more cruiser look with feet forward. Not sure it works though.
That was actually my wife's first impression too....
"It looks like a nicely painted version of our lawn tractor".
I still like it!

Wow that thing is completely different from existing designs. Tubular frame and swingarm and fender mount are really surprising to me. That is really good stuff, but expensive to produce. Nice touch. It also looks like they redesigned the gas tank to sit higher and more motorcycle like. This one should have absolutely no boiling gas or heat issues. :clap:

Ugly I will keep my 2009 GS forever. Only 115hp that is pitiful, mine has more then that now with my mods and weighs about 50 lbs lighter. I thought they would really update the bike making it a lot more powerful and make it go on a diet and lose about a 100lbs. They need a full line of bikes like a touring, everyday cruiser and a solid sport bike.
