2012 Can-Am Spyder Roadster info and pics !

[WackyDan]

Did the prices go up?

Probably... Inflation and all. :shocked: That just means you can get a better deal on a 2011 model.

Thanks for posting the pictures of the new 2012's. Based on what I see and read--I will not be running out to purchase Spyder #4 this time around either.

I am disappointed that with 4 years experience with the Spyder--they are not offering a bigger power plant or adjustable driver floorboards as an option.

Sorry: but I do not like the Magnesium or the Brown/Tan colors on the the new RT's either. They may look better in person--but I am not impressed with the colors from the photos.

I do like the new green color on the RS, and the RSS red/black combo isnt bad either.

I like :spyder2:'s --so don't get me wrong--but--I am thinking that after 4 years--they might have been a little more innovative with some things.

:agree: I will keep Orbit (2010 RS, Orbital Blue) for now.

 

[Questions]

I wonder if we will be able to get the shocks as an upgrade for current RS's? Might be worth it if it's not too pricey.

 

[SteveMac]

Not bad. But it sure feels good to be happy with the RT I have!! They will eventually come out with a big-boy RT. Larger engine, maybe stretched a few inches with more seat area and larger fuel cell. I hope I have 50-60,000 miles on mine by then. Be just about ready to trade by then…!!!

Digging that red RS-S color scheme!

So they got new colors out... as expected.
New display... would be nice to see a preview!
New shocks... INTERESTING!!!opcorn:
Everything else...:sour:

They didn't change the frame so I don't see why not.

Did they change the rear or leave the rear shock alone?

New shocks for the RS, much needed if you really want to push it. Amber display? as far as my 09 RS it will be cheaper to buy a set of new sporty shocks and a pair of amber sunglasses. Do like the new colors and the tan seat brown RT looks really cool, especially with the hot sun in the parking lot here in the south. Maybe go all the way and get a white seat to reflect the heat!hyea:

I'm liking the new colors... I really like the idea of the amber display - I wonder if it could be purchase as a replacement?

 

[Questions]

That green is pretty snazzy!

 

[Spydeb]

I like the green :spyder2: the best. Also the brown seat really changes it up!:2thumbs:

 

[CanAmMick]

They look great! Maybe a new one in a few years.....

 

[BajaRon]

Hopefully, Lamont will be able to post some hands-on (or Eyeballs-On) info tomorrow.

My guess is we aren't going to see any quantum changes until the economy turns around.

I'd like to see the green in person. Looks like a color with potential.

 

[pierrelogic]

What no more black RT-S. I don't know if I like the brown seat or not. Will have to see them in person.

:agree:

That lava brown couples with the tan seat look very strange to me. Makes the seat look like it's immediately an aftermarket item...IMHO.

 

[spydrluvr]

I like the green one.

:agree:

 

[Lamonster]

Thanks Ron, just got in and you can bet I'll post more pics tomorrow. Anything you really want a good look at?

 

[RoadHammer]

the brown Rt is freaking me out... I just can't believe brown:shocked:.. Nice rs colors though

 

[dltang]

I guess I am in the minority, I like the Brown and Tan RT. I also like the black and red RS.

 

[BumbleBee]

Love the green RS :2thumbs:

Really like the Bronze RT, but not the tan color seat!

 

[chris56]

:2thumbs: ... but I was hoping they do a new (adjustable) handlebar system for both modells ??
