Any news on 2018 Deliveries?

[Bob Denman]

Are any of the 2018 Spyders already in their new homes?
I was told by BRP, that deliveries would begin this Month; has anyone gotten a call from their Dealer yet?

I was at the bike show here in Edmonton today and I was Shocked they didn't have one 2018 model on the floor!
I was really looking forward to having an up close and personable look at the new cluster.
As for delivery dates here the salesman said they were excepting the first ones to hit their floor by the end of the month...

[Flamewinger]

I'm in California and I have been told by my dealer that my 2018 RT-L will ship this week and, depending on road conditions, should arrive sometime in the next two weeks. Maybe by the end of next week but most likely the following week.

I'm still trying to get more info on the bluetooth capabilities.If I get the CB will it require a cabled headset or will it work through the radio and will the radio/CB sounds come through to the BT headset? My dealer tells me no one uses the old fashioned CB, they all network their BT headsets (specifically Sena 20s). I don't know a single Goldwing rider that has BT headsets yet.

[ottawa-rider]

I got a call from my dealer yesterday (Thurs.), they wanted a few pictures of my 2014 Spyder to show to potential buyers.

He said he expect my 2018 to be in by the end of the month, we'll see.

Given the current weather over here, I"m not in a big rush, when it get here, it will only make the rest of winter seems that much longer.

You beat me to the thread. I was going to start one like this. I was wondering specifically about your new one. :yes::yes:

All of the 18s will be delivered next week except for Bob and Susan’s, they won’t be delivered until March.

[DJFaninTN]

Bob just call BRP up and tell them to deliver it down here to FL so I can keep it in a safe and warm environment for ya . :thumbup:

[ahh-cool]

I also told the end of the month, for the delivery to my dealer.

[fastfraser]

I was told end of month as well.

[PrairieSpyder]

Are you sure it will fit in you RV's garage? You may have to build an extension!

[Easy Rider]

Your dealer is feeding you.......a smoke screen.

BT headsets become pretty much useless if the bikes are more than a hundred feet apart.

[Trbayth]

Getting a little antsy Bob? ;)

[Rob Rodriguez]

My BT headset has a solid 1/2 mile range. Further apart than that and it gets spotty.

[Flamewinger]

My understanding is the newer BT headsets will “network” with each other so the lead bike will be able to communicate with the tail by way of the all the riders headsets repeating the communication. That is IF everyone has the latest headset AND the firmware is all up to date. I use Uclear and their new AMP units are capable of networking but not sure how this networking will work with multi brand headsets. Bluetooth is Bluetooth right?

The one thing I can’t get used to is the large groups the Spyder riders are doing. It’s been found that 5-6 bikes in a groups works and is safer than a larger group.

No idea where you got this idea but our SENA sets have no trouble communicating nearly a mile apart if there is line of sight. About a half mile if not. Plenty of range for a group of riders. The newer mesh technology sets will extend this considerably for larger groups.

[Bob Denman]

:yikes: Sometimes it feels as if that's gonna happen. :gaah:
We took a ride up the Dealership this morning... I didn't sleep a wink, and we listened to Disco Music the entire trip!

After that: it was easy to glare at them through some very bloodshot eyes! nojoke
They pulled the order up, and it's still saying "January"... (Just not when! :cus:)
As soon as they get the V.I.N.; they know that it's on the way, and that takes about 10 days or so.

But in the meantime: they're throwing in some of the new RT armrests for the Missus, and will deliver the bike to my garage in an enclosed trailer! :yes:

My dealer has received an acknowledgement of my order but that is all. Can't ride in this sub-freezing weather but still would like to see the new 2018 sitting in my garage??????????? everyone keeps telling me the days are getting longer but it is still really cold outside. time always drags this time of year when we are waiting for spring to arrive, but it's a lot worse this year cuz I have a new 2018 on the way!!!

[ahh-cool]

I don't have a toy hauler. I pull a trailer. Checked into the lift and found out it was $10,000 for the Spyder

[Bob Denman]

Is this one of the 10th ANN Black and Gold specials? :thumbup:

[ARtraveler]

Any others out there who are waiting for the anniversary edition? I know of two. Bob and Ottawa Rider so far.

[fastfraser]

Me ! Dealer said end of month .

[Bob Denman]

:congrats: Are you gonna lay a "gold-flame" design scheme on it?

[Deanna777]

Bob,

Post pictures of your new 2018 and you know how the saying goes " no picture it did not happen"

We need pictures of your new spyder in your driveway!

Deanna

[UtahPete]

Your dealer is feeding you.......a smoke screen.BT headsets become pretty much useless if the bikes are more than a hundred feet apart.
Mine work up to 1/4 mile depending on terrain

[Bob Denman]

...and you know how the saying goes " no picture it did not happen"

It didn't... yet! :D

[Easy Rider]

Mine work up to 1/4 mile depending on terrain

OK so the newer models are a bit better.
But that doesn't come close to the mile range I get with the CB.
And I suspect that you can't join other groups and instantly communicate either.

Different strokes...............:thumbup:

[tomand]

my dealer told me that like Apple with some production problems and delays, BRP has experienced the same the the gold wheels...they were supposed to be delivered in November but still aren't at the assembly plant. Expect the first deliveries around the first of March for now.

[Bob Denman]

:shocked: Are you serious?? :shocked:

I just got informed that my RTL will be on a truck Monday and, barring weather conditions, 7 to 10 days, maybe by the end of the month.

I’m not gonna hold my breath because back in October I was told I would see it early November then I got told early January, then mid January, then the end of January and now possibly just into February. So I’ll get it when I get it.

[Little Blue]

REMEMBER the Phase, 'THE CHECK is IN the Mail'. Works for me. :coffee:

[Flamewinger]

Just curious, if BRP is unable to deliver until the end of January, how can you get the warranty promotion they're offering?

I've been told its on the truck and maybe 7-10 days to deliver. The 3 year warranty offer expires Jan 31. Whats the possibility that the offer won't be offered if I don't pick up in time? I have a dated invoice so am I good?

I'm pretty sure if you sign an order no later than Jan 31 you'll get the promo warranty. Warranty coverage starts when the bike is put in service.

[eddieshep999]

It will be interesting to see how riders witn the new BRP Connect cluster get on with it
I am sure we will see some post very soon as the new Spyder’s are rolled out and delivered

As yet the BRP CONNECT App is not being found on the Apple Store , it would be a shame if the Spyder’s are ready but the BRP software is not
Perhaps BRP will announce when their app is available

I wish everyone with their new Spyders the best of luck as you are pioneers in the new BRP technology and are testing it out, so that when we upgrade any initial problems (if any) are sorted out
