BRP/Can-Am dealer inside knowledge

[wiredgeorge]

I have owned many Kawasakis and am a member of several Kawasaki groups. I know for a fact that a Kawasaki dealer often gets insider info at a yearly dealer meeting where Kawasaki USA gives them the dope on new models and changes in corporate direction. I have heard several folks claim their BRP/Can-Am dealer has heard various rumors and such. Do Can-Am dealers get exposed to inside info prior to Can-Am releasing it publicly? Just curious. While I am interested in 2016 models and product direction, I really can't afford a new one anyway so I won't be in some new wave of buyers even if Can-Am hits a home run with their latest offerings.

my dealer says they get no info till brp is ready to tell them

A smart dealer will keep on telling even the most inquisitive of us , that they don't know anything.
It gets all of us a lot of good exercising: digging around for each and every tidbit!

I am sure there is a lot of information floating around that some people are privy to.

My dealer claimed to know nothing (as in Shultz) about the F3. It was fun to take him the picture when we they popped up on the internet.

Did he know? I think he did.

If mine does, he sure doesn't let on.

I think they take great pleasure and gain great knowledge in not letting us know. We manage to come up with some great ideas for them and probably a lot of laughs. But it part of the game. What they could do is have the new line up ready to purchase....

Hmmmm, getting info on new models coming down the pipe??? I don't care what they come up with as I plan on riding Mr. Cognac to the funeral home.

I hope that will be many years down the road.

Well... There WAS that year that someone told me what was being announced....


...A full eight hours before it happened!

You still had to wait, forever it seems, till you got yours...even knowing..but it was a good year wasn't it....

[Bob Denman]

I like your attitude sir. I had the same thoughts when I jumped in on the 2014. I think I have finally found my favorite .

Those that get the information keep it for very good reasons...

[Bob Denman]

Which makes it even MORE fun to look for...

I'm certain that, for the right price, the local cemetery could be persuaded to dig a large enough hole to burry you together.

Or spend the money to have a Mausoleum built, so that your Spyder would have indoor parking: forever!
