Lamonster Garage, SpyderLovers and BRP in 2015......

Better TIRES...

I feel that BRP would benefit from "increasing" formula for a much longer lasting tire than the Kenda OEM's. "BRP controls the formula". This is the statement I got from Kenda direct. :thumbup:

All the tires are now 2012 spec.

GET SOME GASSSSSS

RT's with a 10 gal fuel tank

Please explain? Did they change the spec after 2012 and now they are returning to it? If it has changed what is the effective date stamped on the tires so we know if we are getting the better spec? Is the 2012 spec a harder compound?

 

[HuckFin]

Increase the Rotex twin to 150 hp with 6 speed transmission for the RS-S. Boost the RT three cylinder to 125 hp+.

 

[Laila's Dad]

...one other thing, give a realistic top speed. so I can stop hearing of speeds from 125mph to 180mph...

Congrats Lamont for Sure. You deserve it! My hopes are also for a tilting front end!

Tires last over 5k, and they are cheap.....that's friggen amazing to this motorcycle rider.

When I had Saab Sonett's, the SIII version didn't get the tilt front end of the earlier models. An enterprising engineer designed a DIY to make your own tilting front end.

Since much of what we want to get to is underseat/behind side panels, we really need to design side panels that tilt up like lambo door kits. First engineer to design that kit is going to pocket some coin...

 

[Xcarman]

Maybe

Open engine -- fewer side covers

 

[Bob Denman]

That might be seen on the entry-level model that's been kicked around a bit... :thumbup:
(Less Tupperware, means less-pricey!)

 

[jaherbst]

They're going to bring back the Viper Red so I can buy a 2015!

Me Too!!

 

[Chief-J]

Congrats

First Congrats on being selected for such a task.

I think the 2015's should all have; 1. Screw on type oil filter, easy maintenance and less parts to mess with. 2. A manual Park Brake for the RT SE, if the cable comes loose on the system they have now, the bike will roll away. 3. Standard Hand Brake for Safety. 4. Better placement of the Coolant Tank, still hard to reach for us Big Hand people. 5. Better Tire's

My guess/wish list....

Fully auto twist and go.
Entry level model with RT seating, handlebar, floorboard configuration.
Naked model. Kind of like the Honda Big Ruckus.
This is way out there, but perhaps automotive style controls like the Polaris Ace or Slingshot (to debut in two days).

I like everyone's suggestions, but I don't think a color change or a few more HP are worthy of a bike week reveal. It better be BIG !

New radio for 2015 please I'd say most everybody would agree.

This will be the last day of guesses and I will lock the thread and revisit it later and we'll see how close you all were. :doorag:

This just in from a "friend".

ST will not get 1330 ACE. It will be the turbo charged 115 HP 914 engine.

[Tango]

1330 for the ST. A new entry level "ace" engine for the other bikes. No more V-Twin engines. Fox adjustable shocks on all the Spyders. New rear tire by a real tire company. With matching tires for the front. :thumbup: Tom :trike:
