• 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.

#1 The wind management is 100% better for the operator, very quite up front for me vs the 2018. It would shake my helmet,glasses and helmet would rattle.
#2 Led head lights were to low for my liking, I corrected that. Coverage is very wide and clear. 2018 had too sharp of a cut off I think the 2021 is a little softer IMO.
#3 I have FM now good job BRP!
#4 The stereo is much better sounding at all speeds and so far the Bluetooth is good too.
#5 Center storage stays cool, a little tight with a cable on my Google Pixel XL phone. Very convenient location too.
#6 Rear storage is great now with plenty of room.
#7 Refueling is nice with the seats split now.
#8 200 miles today and no knee issues due to the nice leveled giant floor boards. 2018 was leaning to far in and causing tendon pain on rides.
Seating is better too.
#9 Brake pedal is perfect and its now a more natural movement for me.
#10 New volume button is nice and easier vs the joystick. Source button is nice because you don't have to use the joystick to fiddle through menus. I just have to learn how to use it better. Wrong time when going 70 down the highway.:opps:
#11 50 mph Gear wine is same as my 2006 Gold wing was and the belt needs to be less tight. I hear the wolw wolw wolw ocilation at very low speeds. I think its the belt sound reflecting off the rear rim ribs (three)?

Im very happy with the 2021!!
Thanks for listening BRP and spyderlovers too!
 
And the really good news...one usually likes it even better after they get about 3,000 miles or so on them. :yes:
 
Oooh, I think we're going to have to go look at them soon. I checked my horoscope recently and it hinted we need new Spyders, although it wasn't very helpful in explaining how we might pay for them. Ah well.
