• 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.

Can Am rival?

Not sure you could call this a rival

If and when this machine arrives on our shores, there will be buyers. There are always people with more money than they know what to do with:roflblack:. BMW has a fine rep as a motor builder both two and four wheel.

My :spyder2: will get me a speeding ticket in all fifty states. We don't have anything like the autobhan here where you could run this or a Spyder to its top end.

I'll be right in line to look, but my wallet stays on my hip.

Not sure any of the existing motorcycle companies want to get into the three wheel business. Old style trykes maybe from HD and Honda the rest, not so much.
 
BMW has the name recognition behind it and a very proud history. So many people call BMW cars 'beemers'...not quite! The 'beemers' are the bikes and the 'bimmers' are the cars...

Anyway, with 175hp, it will sell...also, if you're trying to compare BRP with BMW, there is no comparison. BMW has a legacy that cannot be touched.

If this bike comes in at 30k or under, it will do very well and will certainly steal a ton of Spyder owners (unfortunately). It will not target RT owners...it's far too much fun of a ride to threaten a moving couch! :D:p
 
is NOT produced by BMW - GG is a small (but good) company in Swiss - they couldn`t make quantities of this Taurus -(some ryders visited the company on their way to the Italian-event ..)
most of the European Countries have now a Spyder-3wheel-law which allowes us to ryde with a car-license and full powered..thats why they changed from Quads to the 3-wheeler..
last : the cost of "our" VSS-Nanny system is much higher than we can expect - someone told me they have to produce 100.000 spyders to bring in the investment of such a system ..
and without that ..there would be much more storys about "crashes" here in the forum :2thumbs:

Did it look anything like the drawings? Did you get any photos?

Somehow I have to think that "Easy Rider" would have been a much different movie... :roflblack: (How do you stretch the front end of one of those??? :shocked:
