• 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.

Well the Spyders look cool but I still don't like the BRP website. I couldn't find any real info or good pictures (360 degree pics) of the new Spyders. :dontknow:

All I could do is the 360 degree pic. Nothing else to do in there:dontknow:
 
I got it in Firefox on my Mac. I can get the 360 view and then when you click on something like the dash it went to a short video of that part. Very cool.
 
Stuck on the PC at work right now. Probably something to do with using a old version of IE or something. :dontknow:
 
I think the new website functions much better. It responds faster and is easier to navigate.

Then maybe thats just me...
 
They may be in the process of updating the site. I got lots of info on the new Spyders - specs, etc., but I couldn't get into the accessories - just says "coming soon".

I agree 99% I WANT TO SEE THE BIKE @ 360 DEGREES ALSO... SO SPIN THAT SPYDER AROUND!

I finally got it all to load and work--- but their website SUCKS.

Too much FLASH crap.....

Don't they listen to people?

If consumers are having trouble getting the site to work---or having it be painfully slow----- they are going to lose customers.

They need PHOTOS and INFO.... and optional videos. Make the FLASH stuff an optional page that people 'can' go to.

I agree with you but they probably think that all the flash is really cool and sophisticated. In reality, it hinders the function of the website...
 
The Site is working perfectly for me via IE7 on Windows XP.
The only thing I can't find is detail about changes to the front trunk...will it still hold a full-face helmet?

The new blue is spectacular, exactly the shade I'd want for a Spyder.

The price? Hmmm, gonna take a while to digest that, especially with the much-desired GPS and SE5 options.

Once again, the lower scoring ACT and/or SAT marketing majors..."Oh daddy BRP, please love me!"... ugh :yikes:

My solar powered, handle-mounted laptop with satellite internet mod had no problem checking the BRP website:shemademe_smilie:

It's working better for me this morning. I noticed that some folks in another thread commented on how the BRP site was acting a little flighty yesterday evening so maybe I was trying to look at it during that time. I guess their site gives me everything I need for looking at it online. The next step is to see one in person, maybe take it for a ride. :2thumbs:

Apologies to BRP for saying their site is still messed up.
 
Is it me, or do those mirrors look useless. I just picture ryding this and seeing only my hands. And with no easy mirror extension mod. haha
 
Last night I was able to get the site with both IE and FireFox. It is rendering just fine -- once it loads initially. Lots of nice presentations on the various features.

You flash haters must have slow connections. I have normal DSL at home and have no issues whatsoever. Flash and it's cousins create fun and clever presentations. I love-em!
 
I like the "new" site, worked well for me. Very interested in the new models (looking only). I think definately a step (or three) in the right direction. Time will tell, gutsy moves considering the economy. I wish them well, can't wait to see some of the stuff in person. :thumbup:
