    Default 10 Year Club

    Doing spring maintenance on the bike today, I realized it'll be 10 years old next summer. With the first deliveries in late 2007, I was wondering if there's any original owners out there in the "10 Year Club"?

    I got the first 08 GS SM5 sold in Alaska. Paid deposit on Oct 2007. It finally arrived in June 2008. Not a PE edition. Alaska was not even supposed to get them the first year--but BRP changed their minds.

    Bought an 09 for the spouse since she wanted an SE.

    When the 10 RT Premiers came out, I traded in the 08 with 23,500 miles on it.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    I put my deposit on a RS SE5 in 2008. I waited for the SE5 series. Loved that bumblebee. I have Ridden in comfort since then.
