• 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.

2015 RT on Sales Floor

I got the prices from BRP Website. Deanna

There has been some confusion about pricing from time to time. The BRP website allows for either the Canadian version or the US version to be shown. On my screen, the version is in the upper right hand corner. The Canadian version shows price in Canadian $'s--which currently show the Canadian :spyder2:'s as higher priced than US due to the currency exchange rates. I believe at the beginning of the model roll out for 2015 some of the descriptions of the :ani29:'s were different, depending which version you were looking at. I keep the US version on my favorites page now in case I want to look something up or verify.
 
The Red Special Series RTs is a great look. Adds a bit of "tough" as it follows trends in automotive styles currently offered, and is complimented by the shorter windscreen.

Almost appears to be the more middle ground between the F3 and an RT Limited.

As for those enjoying the Cognac or other 2014 colors, those too seemed very current trend in automotive colors offered at the time they were introduced. Also, in my opinion, not every color would work with the two tone black, some of the colors are very good and classy over the entire vehicle. Cognac I believe is one.

FWIW, if you care to compare, the pearl red is available on two RT models, RTs Special Series and the RTs. The difference in appearance is the RTs is all red with some silver accents, which honestly look a bit out of place. The Special Series, while the same red, has a black headlight trim, black frunk lid, black fenders and more black through the driver area and aft. Males you almost wonder if you have a black Spyder with red trime, or red Spyder with black trim.

Again, the Red / Black theme is another automotive style. It seems the combination has been around several years from the oem's and is phasing out. As for the hot rod guys, the black red may come and go but still remains a classic mix. (sure beats that orange or green they offer on some models, those bikes look like they were designed by a person that designs womans running shoes)

Question: Where are you finding those "Specials" on the website? :dontknow:
I'm just not finding them... :opps:

You have to play around with the color combos in the "build a bike" section of the page. You may have to re-set your computer pixels to get it to work--maybe not though, with your new rig.

Exactly, black with red works real well. The oem auto makers were using the scheme for several recent years and are now not using it as much.

That Spyder looks real nice. Our Tandem mountain bike is a metallic black with red accents. In the aftermarket the black / red is alive and well and will never go out of style.

Done correctly, there are some other great combinations. Yellow with purple, White with some red, Gray with yellow, White with some magenta. And for some folks, black with some yellow, blue / white combinations, red with silvers and as shown black and silver.
