• 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.

2016 Spyder...what's your guess?

I'm over 40 and agree with otter. If they drop the RS and don't have a reasonable non-old person replacement, I won't be purchasing another. Not all of us "aging" people who do have money are looking for a rolling comfy couch, and we sure as hell have no interest in any budget beginner model..[emoji57]

How about an overpriced sport model with a crap load of power!?!


Otter and DrewNJ......................I'm with you guys!
 
A better display that you can see better during the day or night.Turn signal indicators you can see when turning during the day light hours.
 
Whatever happens; will happen on Friday...
My dealer is flying down to the show on Friday morning, and he has promised to "Stay in touch"... :D
Whatever that means! :shocked:
 
Joan and I will be leaving tomorrow afternoon so we can have all day to play in Nashville on Thursday. As soon as I have something I'll post it here. :doorag:
 
From an NZ perspective they would be daft to drop the RS as it's the main seller, RT is second, very few ST's around and no F3's that I'm aware of as they have only just started arriving in the country.

I suspect the model split in Europe etc is different to the US as well.

In fact for NZ the F3 is the new model for 2016:-)

Whatever the new stuff is we'll not see it for a year (if at all) so it doesn't really matter.
 
Here it is.

The F3 has neither of those problems. There really is no need of the full color display on the RT that is very hard to read in bright light. Perhaps they could go to one of the color e-paper displays...

OR MAYBE they could just give us a choice of display - like even really cheap GPS units do ! push a button, scroll through, and choose a colour scheme to suit :clap:

Oh and same as phones, a choice of Font Size - I don't use trip meters etc as can't read the print without my reading glasses, which haha I don't wear while riding and I always forget to turn spyder on, put on reading glasses, play with trip meter, put away glasses, put on helmet ohhh I just wanna get out there and ride!
 
The F3 goes back to the GS/RS display which Does Not Suck Electricity once shut off.
After Riding My 2012 RT sm5 and My New F3 sm6 I just wish the F3 had 5 speeds because I Can Rev out the RT and hit 60 in second gear while the sm6 is cumbersome to me??
Yes- The 6 gears give you travelers better mileage BUT is cumbersome to shift through the 6 Gears for someone who drives locally?
Just ANOTHER reason I need to keep the 2012 RT and it DOES NOT have the belt vibration?

I be happy to read the small letters/numbers on the display..
 
In the videos, it looks like the 3 Spyders are the F3, followed by an F3 with RT style mirrors and a windscreen, and the RT bringing up the rear.
 
2016 Can Am

Hand Brake
Beautiful Blue F3s like Mr. JCTHORNE that is an awsome lookin bike
Drop the Red for the f3s, I currently own still at the dealers in the box
If they add a hand brake and a JCTHORNE blue

By the way; on FaceBook it mentions 9:30pm Central time... 10:30 for us easterners...
The rest of you will have to do your own Math.
