BRP Ultimate Playground: Can-Am Spyder Roadster Video Hands-on

Bombardier Recreational Products Spokesperson Tim McKrecher welcomed the press on the opening day of the BRP Ultimate Playground demo tours held on in Metro Beach Metropark on Lake St. Clair in southeastern Michigan. He went through a bit of the history of the company (including the invention of snowmobiles shortly after World War II) and on to what products we were to see before us today in 2011. One interesting tidbit that I received from the speech was that the Can-Am Spyder Roadster was already exceeding the manufacturer’s expectation so early in its development. McKrecher said “Spyder just overtook the number five spot in all motorcycle sales in all of North America… They’re behind Harley and Japan’s Big Three, but they’ve overtaken every European brand in the motorcycle industry with only two models right now.”

In the following video, Can-Am Media Relations Representative Matt Bondek gives us the run down of the two Spyder Roadster models (RS and RT), highlighting their features and technology.

Everyday I try to exercise my brain and body, and find something new to learn about. I read extensively, write gainfully, and drink massive amounts of tea, seriously. I love many things, especially spending time in nature. I love learning outdoor survival skills and outdoor tips as I write about the topics for OutdoorHub.com. I slowly preparing for two separate extreme outdoor adventures - one to the tip of the earth in Nunavut, Canada where the earth begins to split into glaciers and the other into the wilderness in New Zealand; where cliffs meet the coast. I love traveling and have been to Europe, North America and Asia. My first trip abroad was when I was 5 years-old and my parents brought me from my home country of Poland to New Jersey, USA. We moved to Michigan not long after and I've moved around the state a bit. I spent four years in East Lansing, studying Journalism at Michigan State University all the while photographing and writing for spartanedge.com. In 2010 I moved to Detroit then traveled again to Europe and Asia at the end of that year which sucked me dry of all my money. Currently, I'm working on getting back in the city and establishing my homebase there.
