• 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.

2020 1/2 mid model year release, a nice Can Am, light and fast.

What I gathered from the BRP history video someone posted a link to recently, was that BRP had developed such a hot bike that it actually scared them. The market wasn't experienced and capable enough to ride them without a high probability of disaster. I think maybe they were concerned that hot bikes ridden by idiots was going to end up in huge lawsuits they had no desire to deal with.

That is also what I came away with after watching the video.
 
My buddy had one when first out and yes they were fast. He was an experienced rider and no one on other makes could keep up.
