• 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.

Why hasn't BRP/Can Am looked at a Full automatic transmission for Spyders?

Aprillia has an automatic tranny. Friend of mine has one. Now, you want to talk about service. He has to trailer his Aprillia to Maryland for service. The closest Aprillia dealer in NC no longer services them.
 
Amazing how many folks need to look down on others . . . folks without comm systems, looking down of folks who have them, two wheelers looking down on trikes, SM riders looking down on SE . . . I wonder why there seem to be so many insecure people in the world who feel they have the right to put down others in order to feel superior? :dontknow:

I ride what I ride, and it isn't anyone else's concern . . . just as what they ride isn't mine . . . :lecturef_smilie:

I would hate to lose control on the upshifting (and occasional downshifting available to the SE).. Fully automatic would be a drag.... At that point I would probably go back to an SM . the beauty of the SE is that it offers the best of the standard and the automatic

Way back in the dark ages honda figured they would create and capture the
women riders by coming out with an auto bike, WRONG.
HD created and captured the market with the 883 hugger.

the se5 is terrific, I think it's like the sm5, you must up shift and you can down shift
 
Both of our Spyders are manual shift. We test drove the 2014 RT back in March, they were SE. We both liked the way it shifted. If we get new Spyders they may​ be the SE.

Just curious anyone know why they haven't looked at fully automatic transmissions for the Spyders? it doesn't seem to far a stretch to change over the SE5/6 to give full auto.

I rode a DCT (fully automatic) Gold Wing that I traded in for my Canam. It was super fun to ride. I hardly used the brakes until the last few feet because of down shifting. Canam could go to a DCT bike but they would have to pay Honda a royalty. DCT is a dual clutch transmission.
 
Yes, very old thread. Canam now has the Ryker with a fully automatic transmission and it works like a charm.Always in it's power band.Twist the bitch at any speed and it just goes!
