Any rumors about 2013

[packbuckbrew]

I am looking at adding a second spyder to the stable and am anxiously awaiting news about any changes to next years models. In the perfect world what would you like to see? Here is my list:

1. Turbo charged RSS high performance model with tuned front/rear suspension.
2. RS set up with some of the amenities of the RT, in particular cruise control, upgraded color dash similar to the RT and electric parking brake like an RT. All minor changes, but I think these would be nice to have on a RS.
3. A 6 speed with upgraded motor with more HP
4. An entry level smaller hp spyder, maybe the hybrid will fill this hole (if you can call this a hole)

I heard the RS is getting a redo for '13, that is all I got though.

The dealers might start getting information on the 2013s in about 3 Months or so... You'd need to comb the 'net for any rumors of what's to come...

I would say the odds of big changes are good.

I just purchased a 2011 RT A & C so that should help all of you who are wanting bigger and better. The new purchase puts me out of the market for 2013--so the changes I have been awaiting for trading in my 2010 are now moot. I am out of the market for at least a year--until I pay off the new 2011.

13 is an unlucky number...just ask Jim Lovell

ST STS= RS or RTS

I'm debating about waiting for next year or get one sooner. With all the throttle body problems I'm not sure I want a '12 or not. My hart is set on a red RTS and I have the money now (which I did not think I would have until next year) to buy it. If I wait 3 months to find out what is coming out next year I might as well wait until next year. You all know how it feels to have your eye on a new Spyder, having the money, not sure if an issue is truly fixed, and have to decide to bit the bullet and buy or wait another year and hope the issue is fixed and no new one creaps up. :dontknow:

to add to that which I like...
1. floorboards
2. adjustable shield
3. cruise control...I think he already said that...but again cruise control

If there ARE Notable changes in the 2013 Models the Leftover 2012,s will be even cheaper in Oct-Dec Timeframe?

So... for #2... you basically want an RT? They make those already. LOL

Seriously... The RS is a Sport tourer... BRP is not going to add features from the RT - because it defeats the purpose of them offering an RT... The RS will continue to the the cheaper no frills model.

I think odds are that for 2013... and more likely 2014... on the RS...

1. Bigger motor with taller gearing and sprockets... maintain quickness while giving back some MPG.

#1 is really all we can potentially count on.

My realistic wish list....

2. selectable Nanny... Normal, Rain, and Sport modes

Basically that.. bigger motor - maybe with some taller gearing, and selectable nanny... and they just sold me a new RS.

I really like the idea of selectable nanny, like they have on some sport bikes. I understand the "no frills" idea, but come on, the bike costs nearly 20K delivered, adding cruise will NOT make it an RT by any stretch. The RS sales have lagged, I think it needs a major upgrade, adding some basic functions will get them out the door, just my humble opinion.

I don't know... for $17k there are a lot of two wheelers that are no frills as well... and for $17k you can't show me another trike at that amount of coin... So BRP is truly in the driver's seat on the design.... So I remain realistic is expecting a facelift, motor, and hopefully something else compelling.

There have been a lot of people who like the price point of the RS, but can't afford the RT. They demand that BRP put a radio, comm system or cruise on the RS... or nicer seat, wind shield, etc... and you still end up with an RS that is higher cost and closer to an RT anyway.... Keep it sporty, we'll mod it.

The selectable nanny would be simple for all of us if they offered an inexpensive BUDS software to owners in a user friendly version.
