• 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.

RT Video

cool looking

i like the blue ...... needs a smaller windshield though ....
:joke::joke::joke:
 
Apparently the RT HAS a bigger engine - the video states (for the RT) a Rotax 991 and (for the RS) a Rotax 990. LOL, the predictions were true.
 
No bigger engine will be a drawback in the loaded RT-S. Big touring bikes generally have more power. With the extra weight it won't even be as perky as the original.
 
BRP has "done it up " right :clap: I like alot of the new aspects of the body panels ... the new front end looks really sweet :2thumbs: almost every aspect of the Spyder has been massaged and refined ... :thumbup:
 
I like it but really... I think my Givi V35's and V46 probably equal the storage of the RT while still allowing me to haul them around like luggage.

I like the new dash display. I'm wondering if the factory cruise can be dropped onto our spyders??

I'll hole final opinion for when I can physically poke at one. For now, for the money, I think the ability to mod our spyders EXACTLY to our needs has more value to people like me. Others might jump at the factory integration.

The iPod integration kinda kills it for me too. I'm not an iPod guy. If they had built a USB hatch or SD slot that would have been awesome. EDIT... Ah.. they do have a 3.5 mm plug for non-iPod gear.

I just watched the video on the dash and controls and that's where a lot of the money is on this thing. CB, FM, XM, CC, some sort of trailer control and a whole bunch of other controls to play with. This freaks me out a little and I like that kind of stuff. :shocked:

I'm going to hold judgment to I ride one for a few miles. Near as I can tell they did a really nice job on the RT. I don't have any plans on getting rid of my Spyder but if I was looking at a Wing or the RT I think the RT would get the nod. :doorag:
