Bombardier Recreational Prodcut (BRP) is recalling just over one-hundred 2010 Can-Am Spyder Roadster RT’s for a faulty connection in the bike’s electrical harness. This recall affects only SM5 and SE5 motorcycles made between October 13, 2009 and October 30, 2009.
Just like the 2010 BMW R1200GS series, the 2010 BMW R1200RT features BMW’s new 1,170cc flat-boxer motor with a DOHC head arrangement. This also means that the RT will make more power across the power band, with peak power making 5hp 3lb•ft more over last year’s model. Unlike the GS though, the RT comes along with more than just a new motor. More on that with photos after the jump.
Bombardier is expanding its Can-Am line, and adding a touring model to the Sypder trike offering. Called the Spyder RT, the 3-wheeler was made specifically because so many customers expressed an interest in a highway tourer. The RT joins the RS sport model, which has seen strong sales and a rabid customer base that evangelize the brand.
