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.

Hi,
Here in France, BRP just communicated the official prices and I'm surprised to see that there is a difference depending of the color, meaning the "full moon" model is less expensive than the "Millenium Yellow"...
Is it the same in US and Canada and how justify such difference. is the painting quality better on the Millenium Yellow ? other args ?

When the Spyder was first introduced the price was set the same for both colors. Personaly, I think the yellow sales were lagging so to make them more appealing they RAISED the price $300. Some people think that if they pay more they are getting something better. Psychology 101. !!!
Both the yellow and the silver paint are metallic and both really look good in the sunlight.

Huh... While I agree with Richard's assessment of "to make them more appealing they raised the price," my dealer in western Massachusetts claimed that the yellow was metallic and the silver was not.
(I was so focused on my test ride--yes, on a silver Spyder--that I didn't even notice the paint job!)
That $300 difference helped enable my decision to order the silver (read "moon shadow") model.
My daughter says the only way she'd allow me to get the yellow/black one is if we then covered it with Steelers logos...

:agree: The price difference was said to be due to the extra cost of the "metallic" paint of the yellow vs. the "flat" of the silver. Looking at both in the sunlight it appears to be accurate. Maybe there is a painting process difference (like three coats vs. two coats?) or, material differences to justify the cost difference.....
I can tell you that the current models and colors are also said to only be the beginning. I really wouldn't be surprised to see new colors announced sometime late next year as "2009" models. And, eventually, more models. Some extreme, some solo-touring, some multi-rider, who knows? The (base) Rotax engine is said to be offered in higher-powered versions in the Aprillia bikes that use it, so expect (at some point in time) options here as well. BRP wouldn't go into this with a short-term plan, they likely have several years plotted out, depending on how it all goes.

Ive heard this as well. (paint cost and options too)sledmaster said:
As far as the engine, I doubt youll see BRP offer the higher output on the Spyder anytime soo, but Id also be willing to be it wont take someone long to figure out how to "chip up" the engine and get the Aprillia performance out of it.

If you are getting yellow, it has allways been $300 more for paint. BRP has no changed the price. I would be asking questions about dealer set up if anything. From what I have seen there is little to no set up once at the dealer. Ask them their shop rate per hour and ask them what exactly they did to "Set it up" How long it took to set it up and have them explain the math!

Find out what the shop rates are. We are around $75 on hour. You tell me it will take 16 hours for them to do set up? (low end of cost) They could probably build one in the time. I am sure there are laws in CAl. It is California... shop rates are posted somewhere. Hold them to the fire on it. I for one would be willing to send you documentation from my dealer, if and when, the Spyder is deliveried. You could take it up with BBB in the area, and threaten them with that, and possible small claims court. When you signed the original paper work, was set up on there?, if not you got both legs to stand on.

I have read rumors that part of the delay is that BRp is uncrating at distribution areas and then delivering to dealers. That would deflate dealer set up quite a bit. :doorag:

Yesterday, at Daytona, I learned that there was never any problem fitting the Spyders onto the delivery trucks. They ship assembled and come boxed similiar to snowmobiles and PWC. The rumor was probably started by greedy dealers who want to add on excessive "prep" charges when all they do is hook up the battery and put some gas into the tank !!
