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.
2017 RT?
- Thread starter rworell
- Start date
Speaking more generally, across the range -
How about keyless / remote fob?
How about our luxury machines come with proper bluetooth, not an add-on turn on/off gizmo?
How about models equipped with gps include tyre pressure monitors? (this one is 'bottom' of my wish list, but would be good given how sensitive our machines are to tyre pressure)
How about - my pet peeve - a bit of illumination on the left handlebar so I can find the high beam switch at night? (no muscle memory as I don't often ride at night)
How about tri-axis bars as a standard option in place of stock bars, rather than only as an expensive add-on?? I would so love it if this was on my ST... but applies equally to RT range
How about the ability to choose night screen (as we can on our car gps') for more screen visibility in the sunshine?
Your ideas??
PS When they bring the F3T out with the above as standard, I'll definitely buy one...

A styling update besides other improvements would be great.

Some good ideas above. Your heading for a $35K machine if all the add on's were to happen. :thumbup:

Keyless fob, U-fit system, tri axis handlebars, bluetooth. Those would be some of the price boosters. IMO of course.

They are most of the way there already to keyless fob system now,That should be just a few lines of code. I can buy a radio in WalMart for $100 with Bluetooth Pandora Iphone/ android interface, Satellite radio IHeart Radio and a USB port so that shouldn't be too much. The technology is out there and fairly cheap already they don't have to re invent the wheel here. Lighting up the left side switches should be easy and cheap and a safety issue.

Gas Cap Door, Tri-Axis Handlebars, Baja-Ron Sway Bar w/ Aluminium Helm Links and a CB radio that's equal to the quality and performance of other manufacturers.

At the least I bet it's less tupperware and some new colors. Cheaper to manufacture with less plastic and the engine gets more air flow.
How about the option of an RT with FEWER electronic doo dads. Starting with a plain old key - no coded chip, no keyless fob - just an old fashioned stick of steel that will always start the engine and doesn't take up any room in your pocket. Then how about LESS computerization with its constant threat of limp modes, shut downs, etc. And how about more ground clearance!
Notice I said "option". You guys who love all the high tech gadgets could have an RT done your way. And those of us who prefer a more old fashioned, simple, mechanical, rugged, dependable machine could have it done our way.
As far as body style, I can't think of anything I'd change on my 2015. But I would love to see it in teal!

Sounds nice! It will be called the RT-BB (bare bones)
. And with higher ground clearance, maybe some off road capability, a brush guard, it will be the RT-R (rugged) edition!
Hmmm, an RT with fewer electronic doodads & a bit more ground clearance... That sounds good, altho as mentioned by others, it should be part of the option selections, cos someone I know well might want some of the bells & whistles, a little more relaxed nanny, plus the extra ground clearance. 
pps: 
Hey, while we're at it, what about an optional turbo too!!
:thumbup:
Or maybe even a F3T with more ground clearance, a real 2-up seating arrangement, AND a turbo!! :shocked::clap::2thumbs:
Oh, and let's not forget a choice of better tires instead of just that Kenda crap!!
:banghead:

Great suggestions everyone "BRP Take NOTE"
My reason for this post was for exactly what we all put into our responses. I for one want a redesign of the body, A U-fit system where we sit into the bike a little more like the F3's. Definitely Tri Axis handle bars and a Baha Ron Sway bar would be nice. The tunes on the top of the line F3T are amazing and should become standard on the RT in my opinion. USB ports, 12 volt plugs in better places (on the dash)
I saw that Turbo F3 that Lamont posted in Daytona. It will be a big seller, but so disappointing if all BRP does is give us all that option for the 2017 season.
Keep this going... It's a great Read!!

I totally agree!!!!! Get rid of all that electronic crap with its threat DESS mode, limp mode and the rest of that garbage. Stick a key in it and go for a ride! I totally love my RTS, but with all the electronic problems people are having, I worry every time I take it out.

i think yes
Hi, as I wrote in my article.. I do believe that BRP will bring new RT in more F3 look.. for me it makes sense when you look around what they do. - f3 then f3-t
and for them it will be a great call, because those that owns RT, there are in all respect, more wealthy people, and they will buy new design for sure..
what you think.?
