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.
Hey BRP, can you make this fit?

I'd rather see the Vmax powerplant.
But honda has reliability nailed to the T. Its a matter of time before cc's are bumped I hope.

Considering BRP owns Rotax---- I don't see this happening......
:agree::agree:
I'd rather have this one: http://www.buell.com/en_US/bikes/sport/1125R/engineering-and-design/helicon-engine.asp
And it's even a Rotax.

WOW! That would definitely make our Spyders stand up, and scream!:2thumbs:

I was trying to make the Anti-High Rev, Pro High Fuel Mileage guys happy with the diesel motor.
This Rotax will not do either! :roflblack:
On another note. China just bought Hummer.... Hope & Change? Ummm....Ummm.....Um!

It's too bad that GM sold it's 'Hummer' line to a Chinese company - but realize the whole line has been a money sucker - too bad another American company didn't step in and buy it. It was a bad idea when they bought it from AM General in 1999.
GM never made the Humvee's that our military uses - those are still AM General made. They were going to sell Saturn to Penske - but that fell apart-- and they are also trying to sell Saab.
What they want to do is concentrate on the brands that make up 80% of their sales (Chevy, Cadillac, GMC and Buick).
The new Chinese company will keep the current lines in the US running through 2010 --- but my guess is they'll start making them over there--- and considering they can't sell them over here now--- the US sales will plummet further--- but at least it won't be a drain on GM anymore.
The China-Hummer deal has been in the works for some time now --- and GM is now out of bankruptcy-----:thumbup:. I guess I don't fault them for dumping a brand that is just a financial drain.
I think GM is making some tough choices in tough times-- hopefully these changes will allow them to continue to make many of the brands that have been American standards for so many years now.

You already have a 6th gear---- it's just not very fast---- and you have to look in your mirrors while using it...
Really need a 7 speed tranny for the Spyder---- 6 forward + reverse.....

The Buell 1125 is made by Rotax but is proprietary to Harley Davidson so I don't see it ending up in the Spyder. But if Rotax can design one they can design another. If Harley drops it they might be able to fit it into the Spyder. I don't think however that they are interested in making a faster bike but they might come out with a larger displacement engine with better torque at lower rpm for cruiser/touring customers. I think that would be years ahead though I see a smaller Spyder in the future with a smaller price tag. :doorag:
