• 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.

Ryker on the Road!

Well this is my lovely wife sitting on a Ryker! According to the folks at BRP, I was the first person not from BRP to ryde a Ryker on the Road!

And your write up...............:lecturef_smilie:

Impressions, what do you think of the power" What do you think the cruising speed will be on the HiWay? Any other impressions.
 
Pirate, Now I understand why the salesperson at Route 1 Motorsports in Malabar, Florida today looked at me kind of funny when I said I would like to see the new Ryker! He said that maybe they will be in in a couple of weeks but did mention that in the powersports world unlike the car business, manufacturers announce new models early and typically deliver much later than in the automobile business that he had been in. I guess BRP is not providing delivery statuses to the dealers at this point?

I called 3 Dealers besides my own and as is common-They are putting in their individual orders with BRP this week after attending the Demos! I wonder what they do with the 20? Demos that were at the Dealer meeting?
 
At last

Sorry folks for the lack of response. We have been leading rydes non stop. First impression: This is a really fun machine. Just jump on, grip it and rip it. We only have access to the 600 cc version, but it really gets up and goes. I am told that this little beast weighs in at around 550 lbs. Fuel economy at about 45 to 50 mpg. All of the Nanny Mechanisms are built in so the safety factor remains in play. The 900 has Sport Mode, and also a Rally model with off road tires and "Rally Mode" to allow you to play in the dirt and have fun. Amazing how smooth it accelerates with no shifting at all. Shaft drive is very smooth and no "Vibration". Three colored panels that can be switched out for what ever color you want to ryde that day. They pop on and they pop off. Full "U-Fit" system that you can adjust in seconds for Ryders of different sizes. Both handle bars and foot pegs. You can even adjust the the angle of the Brake peddle. One panel slides back to reveal the gas tank, fill it, and slide it back. Gas and go! Rydes really nice and has a lots of accessories available. Detachable passenger seat with passenger pegs, additional storage can be purchased. Oh 16 inch wheels!

It is designed for 3 types of Ryders. The 20 to 30 something crowd that wants to commute to work with a back pack on their back that just can't afford the $30,000.00 machine. The Rally folks that want to mix it up in the dirt. Lastly for people like you that just want to go out and have fun. I think these guys are going sell really well, and I suggest you test ryde one when you have the opportunity. :yes::yes::yes:
 
Thanks for the update. Sounds like Can Am has some good features, and hoping they someday make it to the Spyder lineup.
 
Sweet! I'm enjoying the impressions so far. I don't see myself owning one quite yet, but I DO see the appeal for sure.

Thank you , I learned way more reading your description than that 22 minute RIDE report that was posted earlier ….. 16 inch wheels is that front and rear ??????? ……….. I think Vredestein makes some really sticky tires in that size !!!! …. Mike …..…..VREDESTEINS that might fit 185/55-16 and 195/45-16 for front …...Rear 225/55-16 and 225/60-15 in the Quatrac 5 model …….These are available now at the TIRERACK.COM...….
