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.

I'm guessing that it'll be the 600; with a CVT! :thumbup:
So no highway riding

Why not? It should still be more than capable of 75 mph. :thumbup:
It will probably be marketed as an urban streetfighter...
...or a bike for beginners.
Look at how Harley marketed their Street Series.

Well 600 might be ok on two wheels but with the added weight of the third wheel, and the slow nature of a cvt seems like it would make it too slow to safely ride on the highway. Would it be able to hit 75mph, maybe, but would it accelerate from 60-75 quickly enough to maneuver safely in the flow of traffic on the highway. Who knows?
I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

If its the ACE it will be 900cc and either 60 or 90 hp depending on the tune? Unless you mean a different engine?
I could really imagine Silver fenders with a choice of Blue, Yellow, Red, Black, and Green Hood and Larger Side panels-But I'm Dreaming?nojoke

Wish I had the room to stash my Burgman 650. Fun ride and a highway eater. Rode it to Canada and back. Comfortable (after I modified the seat) and swapped for Kurykan grips.

The Ace 600 snowmobiles will run just about 70 mph... and rolling resistance on a snowmobile is WAY higher than on any motorcycle. nojoke

I learned about the ACE from this article. Sounds Good with Very Easy to Maintain.
Good read... thanks for the link.

I'll give it a different conjecture that to help it keep weight down its going to be a small machine and that due to there being most of the world have a sub 1meter front end and with some countries at 850 and the Yamaha coming in at 850 I wouldnt half think that with reduced acceleration and other power that they will go for the 850mm mark.
Gunna be a small Yike. (BTW smaller is better in my book for this set-up)

My guess would be the 900 ACE which has about 90hp. I think the 600 ACE is just to under powered at 60HP, unless this new Spyder is going to be super light. Hell it can barely power a 500 lb sled up top 60mph. Now they have a 900 ACE turbo which is supposed to produce 150hp. Would be awesome if you could buy the "low buck" spyder with the 900 ACE for $9999 or a higher priced "sport" model in the $15-$16K range with the 900 ACE turbo.

They'll run better than 60 mph... I was radared on one at 69 mph. :thumbup:
That was on ice; on a 40 degree day.

600
Don't forget to add the car tire. Did 65K on one, Fl. CA & Can from KY. All you can ask for.

[SUB]We are going to have to disagree here Bob. My buddies wife rides an mxz 600ACE sport. 60, maybe 65 if you have enough room and snow conditions are perfect is all it has. That sled with fluids is about 500lbs. I just cant see that engine providing enough power to be a satisfying and safe Spyder power plant for any type of rider.
I don't think the 900 is a great engine either in terms of satisfying power (in a sled anyway) but it would be adequate for a low buck Spyder especially if its a smaller, lighter model.
Both the 600 and 900 are bullet proof power plants so that is a plus.
To be completely honest, in my opinion the most cost effective way for BRP to power a low buck Spyder is just use the 1330 and electronically de-tune it to meet a specified hp or top speed number.
I guess we will find out in a couple weeks. Fingers are crossed its a half way decent bike so I can buy one.[/SUB]

Either way I hope it has a comfortable seat (Not a Crouch Rocket) and some storage for small things and Good Shocks you don't have to replace? I could do without Manual Shifting as I Get Older and I could sell my 2015 and Make $$ in the deal!
