Just learned from my dealer that my RT will not arrive until March next year.

Ba Humbug.

Agree. Thats kind of a bummer by adding another four months to the equation. Is it standard for your dealer to get :spyder2:'s for spring delivery, or do they have them year around?

[cuznjohn]

that is bad to hear, but think of it this way. they took all the comments from us 2013 rt owners that we said were bad and they are putting them to the 14's to make a great bike

Just learned from my dealer that my RT will not arrive until March next year.

Ouch that hurts. Did they say why so long?

[spyder-dude]

When did your dealer initially tell you that it would be in when you first ordered it?

When I put down a deposit on a 2014 RTS SE6 at my dealer, they said that they would be in November / December. Now they say December / January, I e-mailed BRP they said to contact my dealer to find out when they will arrive. "MARCH" we mite as well wait until the 2015 come out, if they do. :gaah::gaah::pray::pray:

I talked with my dealer on Tuesday. Well it was the head of service, he
told me that there are a number of them out in the field still being tested and working on any faults. He said they don't want as many recalls as they have had in the past.
The question is when it is titled will it be a 2014 or a 2014 1/2 .lol

:shocked: You sir; are correct! :thumbup:

I can state for the record, that three Christmas Presents for the bike have already showed up... each one was "authorized"! :D

[dtkennney]

The November did I first posted was from a post on this site. The dealer told me that they are still testing the 14 and are moving slowly into production. He understands that at corporate headquarters peoples future employment is on the line if the 14 has serious issues like the 13.

I guess waiting ting for a bullet proof bike is worth it. Might have been nice of them to let people know that deliveres woul be early spring.

I still ill have my honda but I am trying to ease up on the mileage to grt a good trade in.

IF BRP is reading this it would be a good time for them to post something. I am sure waiting is not going to kill anyone but there seems to be a lot of different rumors floating around. It might help clear this up:thumbup:

[Bob Denman]

:agree: It could help to calm the mass hysteria that is brewing :shocked:...

[ARtraveler]

:agree:--a post from BRP or someone who speaks for them would be nice. But--on the other hand--are we then asking for Murphy's Law to kick in? Just when you think all is well...:dontknow:

[Hawk]

It also depends on the order date. They can only ship so many to so many different places at the same time. Some were scheduled for Oct/Nov (which is now pushed to Dec/Jan), Dec/Jan, etc. Depending on when your dealer got their order in, plus how many they can ship vs how many were ordered, is why different dealer's will get some here, some there, at this time or that time.

I sent an e-mail to BRP, Below is their response.

In response to your request concerning the delivery of your new Spyder, we would like to inform you that we cannot provide any specific information on production and delivery schedules. For the most accurate information on the actual delivery to the dealership of the vehicle that you ordered, we would like to invite you to remain in contact with your dealer as they will be notified as soon as a shipment is destined for their dealership.

[Bob Denman]

Yup... But the dealers usually SWEAR that they haven't heard anything... :gaah:

[cuznjohn]

i totally understand your frustration with waiting for you 2014 bikes to be delivered, when i bought my BMW K 1600 i traded in my goldwing and had to wait weeks for the K 1600 to come in. between the problems with the 13's that we are waiting for a fix, and you people waiting for the 2014's to be delivered we have no clue what BRP is doing. they want to make a perfect bike this time. there is no way in heck that they can release a bike with more problems like our 13's because the trust in the product and company will drop drastically and cause them to lose a lot of business.

us 13 owners are frustrated waiting for a fix for our issues, and they already have our money so they are going to make sure your 2014's are right b4 they ship them. a few complaints about minor issues are to be expected on the new bikes but not major one like we have with our 13's. they are also banking on the cold weather coming in and people not riding as much as they do during the warmer months. so i hope you get your bikes soon but just remember you are going to get the best bikes they can send out on the markets so the company can rebuild their reputation on the spyder and they will not have people like me and a few others braking their B:cus: with e mails and calls, and dealers saying that their customers are very unhappy and we need a fix for the problems they are having. good luck and i really hope time fly's by for you people because the repairs for our 13's are not going to be fixed till the 14's are done right.

[Bob Denman]

Just got off the phone with Cathy at Klinger PowerSports...

[MidTNDawg]

When did your dealer initially tell you that it would be in when you first ordered it?

He told me in September the projected release date was Oct. He told me today the 1st RT Ltd will be shipped to him in Nov - Dec. He had told me in September he did not expect to have one before Dec., and it would be a miracle if he saw one earlier.

My point? Don't assume your dealer is at fault.

[Bob Denman]

Slight Update: I got a call-back from them; mentioning the fact that they've have been promised that the bikes will be shipped prior to the end of November... :ohyea::yes::ohyea:

[bscrive]

There is really only two reasons for the 2014's being delivered late.

1. Too many 2013's on the floor and they want to try to clear out as many as possible

2. A problem was found out late in the testing period and it is severe enough warrant concern and more testing. I do testing for a living and I can tell you that this kind of thing happens now and then. If it's something small it gets released. If it is a major problem then the product doesn't go into production.

I just want to see those 2013 Spyders get sold and out of my dealer's showroom so he'll have room for the 2014's. Maybe I shouldn't have posted.

[bscrive]

But it does show us how many unsold 2013's there are out there. 11 unsold bikes at just one dealer is worrisome. Multiply even a quarter that amount throughout their dealer network and that is a lot of unsold bikes out there. Way too many.

[JkRbbt]

[den1953]

In the Northern half of the country where the winter weather shuts most if not all riding down for two to four months those unsold units will be sitting in showrooms until March or April and in some cases May depending on the region. The Southern half of the country might lose a month at the most in some places so that's not an issue. Another thing is this sluggish economy, particularly in the so called "Rust Belt" areas of the Mid-West and North East that have been hit hard by factory outsourcing.

[BRPcare]

Official word on the delivery dates for the 2014 Spyder RT: Dealers should start receiving units starting sometime in early January. :)

Well, I'm sure when they told the dealers the bikes would be out in October they actually thought the bikes would be out in October. Unless you think BRP was just toying with the dealers...

:rolleyes:

And what does what you've spent on BRP/CanAm/Skidoo products in the past have to do with a two month delay in RT production? Would you rather get a bike with a problem or get a bike with the problems fixed? It's only two months...
