2017 Line Up - ST Benched?

[Tazzel]

The triple, and it's cooling system; wouldn't fit underneath the existing bodywork... :banghead:

If they wanted to make it work they would, where there is a will there is a way. I guess no will on BRP's part. Not good to have no entry level Spyder.

:dontknow: Where could you hide the twin radiators?? :dontknow:

My wife and I love our V-twins, but BRP discontinuing them CAN'T be a surprise to anybody, can it? They lasted a year longer than I expected as it is.

Owie, I took the dare and she made me go to the gym with her and now I hurt all over! I guess it could be worse, at least I don't have to make dinner, our health would be in jeopardy. ray:

Who says an entry level Spyder has to look like an RS? They could make it look more like a cross between an F3 base model (with a better, more simple grill) and an ST base model - wide enough up front for the in-line triple, but more comfortable in the seat and leg areas like the ST is. :2thumbs: They could design a one-seat model with the rider pushed back far enough to eliminate the awkward knee position the F3 has, which may allow for a bit more storage room up front. Lots of possibilities, if the engineers are open to it.

Like Tazzel said... Where there's a will there's a way. :thumbup:

Heck, if they make it sexy enough, even Chupaca may trade up to one. (Then again, maybe not. )

That just might mean that the 2018's will be unveiled at the homecoming next year!

I was thinking the same thing! that would be cool to get and see them there!!:yikes:

Hi SpyderGTL,

Re: 2017 Line Up

2 1/2 yrs ago I bought my '08. At that time I told myself it will be my one & only Spyder. I see nothing that would make me change my mind.

I will patiently wait and see what new :spyder:S that BRP adds to the lineup...I know that I have been extremely happy with my '14 RT, and the wife is happy with her '10 RT :2thumbs:....and looking forward to seeing more new colors on their models:clap:..Won't know till it happens ....So we need to be patient opcorn:opcorn:opcorn:.....LOL.

Wonder what the sales numbers were for the RS/ST series vs the RT. IT could be that BRP is suffering from the "harley" syndrome, older greying rider demographic wanting a cruiser / bagger platform in the F3 / RT than a young sporty image. Why push a series nobody wants to buy?

 

[SpyderAnn01]

I'm sad that the RTS is no longer available in an SM. I'm not a fan of the base model so my current RTS may be my last.

Hi Ann,

Re: I'm sad that the RTS is no longer available in an SM.

You need to join this group: older greying rider demographic

I was on a club ride yesteday; we were way outnumbered by the RT's with auto-shift.

As Mr. Dylan sang: Times, they are a'changing.

:agree:

..But they've been a'changing, since 1964... :yikes:

I recently read a statistic that said 89% of Spyder owners are over age 50.

My Thoughts................................

I would hope that BRP is not that short-sited to get rid of both the RS & ST.
I believe they just have not shown the full line up.

I ride a 2009 GS SM5.
I don't like the cruiser positioning of the F3. I do like the "look" of the bike.
I like to stand on my pegs if the need arises.
I don't like the RT "look", however, I would like to have the comfort portion of one.

Hi Bill!

[AY4B]

It must be my fault. My last bike was a Yamaha Royal Star tour Deluxe. 2 years after I got it, They stopped making them. Now 2 years after I buy an ST, They are discontinued.

 

[ViperWolf]

This is only the first phase , more model year 2017 info on August 16

Posted by "officialspyder" on Can-Am's Instagram page: "There is a two-phase launch plan for the MY17 Can-Am Spyder lineup. Yesterday we launched Phase 1, Phase 2 will happen August 16, so more MY17 product news and updates to come at that time."

 

[Deanna777]

I'm sure Copper, errr, I mean Cognac, will come back some day! :yes:

I sure hope so! Deanna

 

[Bob Denman]

I actually like that Cognac was a "one and done" deal! :thumbup:
It makes our bikes unique!!
