BRP is bringing the Y-Factor to the South East: Demo days announced at Sunbury-on-Thames and Luton

As part of its exclusive UK Spyder® roadster demo tour, BRP Recreational Products UK Ltd will be hosting a series of demos on the Can-Am™ Spyder roadster and bringing the Y-Factor™ to the South East – Sunbury-on-Thames (Kempton Park Racecourse) Friday, 10 July – Sunday, 12 July; Luton Hoo, Friday, 17 July – Sunday, 19 July.

The revolutionary three-wheeled Spyder roadster will be available for free trials for a series of action packed demo days giving you the opportunity to enjoy an exhilarating drive, unlike any other driving experience.

The Spyder roadster has redefined the open-road experience, with its impressive stature and dynamic control.  It is a three-wheel vehicle (two in the front, one at the rear), that offers the performance of a traditional motorcycle with much of the peace-of-mind of a convertible sports car. It is powered by a Rotax® 990 V-Twin engine that produces 106 hp. 

Sure to give riders goose bumps, the Spyder roadster can reach speeds of up to 125mph and its state of the art power and technology means it is capable of reaching an amazing 0-60mph in just 4.5 seconds. The Spyder roadster’s revolutionary driving stability technology and superior ergonomics provide a unique riding experience.

If you want to experience the exhilaration of the Spyder roadster for yourself, register online at www.brp.com/en-GB or telephone 0808 202 3595 to secure your place between 9.00am and 5.30pm.  A slot will then be allocated and a confirmation number given; this with your car licence will be your ticket to ride.

A full pre-ride technical briefing and safety talk will be provided as well as the relevant riding safety equipment. Just wear appropriate riding clothes, bring both parts of your full UK driving licence, your passion and sense of adventure.

Maria Whitlock, Marketing and Communications Advisor for BRP comments: “The Spyder SE5 allows even more enthusiasts to experience the thrill of the open road. It provides a perfect opportunity for riders looking for the latest in clutchless shifting technology and a thrilling, sporty, get-on-and-go ride."

“It’s going to be a magnificent few days. The unique design of the Can-Am Spyder roadster means that the experience for our visitors will be electrifying, especially as it will be a first for most people.”
