• 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.

So who wants to take a guess for 2011?

BRP is well known for making new model updates every 2 years. Original Spyders 2008. RT 2010. So I doubt 2011 will have anything more than cosmetic changes. 2012 will be the year to watch IMO.

I could see them adding a handbrake, especially since the Spyder has become so popular with those that are impaired. I don't know of any other real option for them with a thumb shift and 3 wheels.

Less computers??? Not gonna happen- and for good reason. You really don't want to ryde one of these without the various safety system enabled.

Since they already have a touring model, and the RS/GS is basically a cruiser/sport --- the next step I would think would be a true sport version.:dontknow:

As far as tunes go, I've never been a big fan of blaring my tunes for the whole world to hear. I find it offensive in cars or on bikes and many areas have '50 foot' laws pertaining to music from vehicles. You have to play the bike music extra loud considering you're wearing a helmet and earplugs--- just makes more sense to me to go with speakers in the helmet or earbuds/earfuse type setup.

Doesn't much matter to me what they come out with--- I'm keeping my current Spyder until the wheels fall off!
:agree:Usually ever 2 years. Improve on the current model in between.
Loud pipes and blaring speakers just get you a hearing aid (What you Say?) FAST.
Give me my Scull Candy Ink,s and my MP3 with 100 classic vinyl tunes (On Meduim Loud Only) and I,m in heaven!!!:doorag:
 
Just my .02 worth, but a better handlebar position and windshield shouldn't have to be an aftermarket option. BRP should offer these basic mods.
 
NEW FOR 2011!

What do you think they'll come out with?

I have no clue. Ya think it's just gonna be new colors or maybe new :spyder:???? :popcorn:

I hope they come out with more dealers instead of less, and more qualified technicians to work on Spyders.
Also, maybe a :spyder2: that doesn't need a recall:D

I know... I ask for too much....:sour:
 
My hope would be a base RS with the RT ergos - bars & boards. I like to build my own bikes - and then change it later :D

Looking at the SxS - I expect two motors, an 800 to lower cost, and a slight bump in cc's to 1K....
 
Here is my want list for the RS

1. Better seating, footpeg, and handlebar position
2. Somewhere around 175 RWHP
3. Adjustable length swingarm
4. Different tire options. The fronts roll too quickly and rear is rough ride and balloons/wears in the middle.
 
How about the 800 cc engine out of the Commander in a slightly down sized cruiser Spyder?
Or the 1200 cc out of the SeaDoo in the RT?

I think BNG, Bold New Graffix. Its what the others do.
I'd like to see one that just works all the time with no head aches.:clap:

I don't care much about a hand brake but a fairing w/ tunes would be nice and give us some forward type controls. No bags, I don't need no bags. 2 or 4 speakers in the fairing would be nice. Good size amp in the trunk. Maybe dual can exhaust that slants up really cool - black it all out - take all the silver out of it - keep everything blacked out but the body panels you choose in the factory colors or get a nice custom paint job.


I agree it was too darn hard to black out the stupid silver parts. I never could figure out, why the picked that silver color anyway. Yuck!
