• 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.

This is video 1/7


This is video 2/7

 
They're probably not in order and you have to unscramble them to make a sentence. I hadn't seen the second video and it took me three times on the first video to find the word...getting old and using an iPad don't make it easy. :shocked:
In the second video, the word is more obvious.
 
:popcorn::bbq::popcorn::bbq::popcorn::bbq::popcorn::bbq::popcorn::bbq:

Keep those videos coming as you find them. Two weeks and counting. Be still, our beating hearts. :bowdown:
 
So here is an interesting guess based on looking at the 2016 BRP off-road line up. They have an "all-new 131 HP Turbocharged ROTAX 1000R"...


Look at the video at 2:18 on.

Here is more specific info on the new Turbo model: http://can-am.brp.com/off-road/side-by-side/maverick/maverick/maverick-x-ds-turbo/features.html

So, perhaps there is no 1330 in the new merged RS-S/ST-S model. Perhaps it is the same turbocharged engine from the off road model. That might make sense to putting all this hype forward for the 2016 model. Who wants a new RS-ST with 135 HP (I'm guessing the road model gets a few more ponies than the off road model)?

That's actually a different engine in the Maverick.
I believe that it's a 976cc critter in there.
While adapting it for use in the Spyders might not be impossible... I believe that BRP will stay within the existing engine families, for 2016 power. :thumbup:
 
remember sturgis?

I say the secret words are Ho Hum Yawn......... :-) they really need a better pr group , but I still hold out hope for some real changes in the RT dash area.:spyder2::chat::cheers:
 
Perhaps Bob, but developing the an engine for only 1 platform is really expensive. If it can be shared with another with a different state of tune, the development costs are shared. I think the engine you are talking about is for the previous Maverick. Since they say this is an "all-new 131 HP Turbocharged ROTAX 1000R" engine, so it remains to be seen if this is the same engine and if it is the sole platform for it.

I think the blazing light we see in the 2 video's suggest something "fast/quick"??

I do admit the space to put everything will interesting if it does use this engine. Who knows, the RS and ST may both go away and a variant of the F3 shows up with this engine?

less than 2 weeks; another video is sure to pop up this week.Jerry
 
Countries, City

Other stuff

I say the first video is Sydney, Australia.
2nd and 3rd look like Paris, France.

The blurred image of the Spyder has the front end styling of a F3. Does that mean another F3 or that the RS and/or ST and/or RT will get the F3 style treatment?

Agree, all three outlines, this one at 12 sec point, reinforce the F3 outline. There are more frames of the "F3" in this video clip.

I hope this isn't a promotion to introduce the F3 to the rest of the world in 2016 (last BRP emphasis was to the American riding population at Sturgis)!

Video #4 should show more of the F3, but will it introduce another bike - the big news of 2016...??

Excellent guess on an order of the 7 word phrase with 3 revealed. If it is "The journey has begun with F3" we will all scream...
There is a video of the 2016 F3 Triple black....

At the Stugis rally: https://www.facebook.com/CanAmSpyder/videos/10153508686008094/
In this video clip there is a quick pic - see attached, that looks like the F3-S outline. So start screaming... because here is one site listing the 2016 models: http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/motorcycles/2016/Can-Am.htm
