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.
Any 2018 Rumors yet?

Considering that the 2017s have not been on the streets for all that long yet:

If anything, in regards to the RT, I would expect LED Headlights and Fog Lights, AND a factory installed belt tensioner / damper as factory installed.
A blessing would be that they have partnered with Dunlop or Bridgestone and we no longer get Kenda tires as oem or replacements!!!

Maybe have a painted dash board as an option. I am kind a partial to that idea. Here is a picture: 
. It adds a pop of color to the dashboard.
Offer more colors choices in the RTS-SE6, and other spyder models.
Offer different colors other then Blue, white, Yellow.
Fix the DESS Issue.
Extend the B.E.S.T warranty more then 5 years.
Add GPS, to all spyder models. Deanna

My Triumph Trophy SE had...
XM radio, weather band radio that kicks in automatically when a weather alert is issued, Bluetooth, accurate tire pressure monitoring, connectors for GPS, I-Pods, etc., and fused Powerlet plugs for rider and passenger heated gear. All of which are nice and none of which would be very expensive to add as standard equipment especially when you buy them by the truckload like Can Am would. None of this stuff is necessary, but it is stuff most of us end up adding to our Spyders.

If I had a Crystal Ball that worked at all: I would have retired with my PowerBall winnings a long time ago... nojokeHaving said that: my prediction is for a larger bike: longer, and with wider saddlebags. In fact; the tne entire rear storage area will be made more useful.
The top trunk will be wider and longer. The lid opening will finally make it possible to put a helmet in their.
The saddlebags will be longer and deeper. But they still won't open from the top! :banghead:
We'll see a larger rider and passenger area. The seats will no longer interchange with prior model years.
Due to the longer wheelbase: we'll finally get shaft drive.

I like what your saying. Could we add a bigger engine. I am still partial to that 1800 six that powers the GW. Similar, would be nice. I hope they hurry up. I am running out of years and money. Don't know which is worse. :roflblack: :roflblack:

I think that the powerplant will remain the same for at least several more years... :dontknow:
It's only had four years of service in this configuration (so far!)

:agree: I haven't had the DESS issue; but a signifigant % of owners have. I'm hoping if BRP extends the BEST warranty in the near future, they will allow those still under warranty to buy in.

Pretty certain the DES issues are kind of resolved as the 2016 series and now 2017 series have the latest updates and these have been reversed part numbered to update 15 and 14s as needed.

Engine Displacements
I'm not sure how it would look or perform on a Spyder. BMW has the K1600GTL Exclusive, but it's engine configuration may not be suitable for the Spyder. And if you're not happy with the smaller 1800cc, six cylinder opposed, Gold Wing engine, there's always the engine from the Triumph Rocket 3. A 2200cc, inline, three cylinder, liquid cooled engine. My wife and I love our 2012 Can Am Spyder RT-SE5, but we know we'd be happier yet with the 1330cc, RT Limited.
