Got another e-mail from the Mother Ship.

It said my "new" Spyder awaits. Pre-order now.

I looked at the questions:

Two, I found interesting:

Will ordering early help? No guarantees. Ordering early will put your name in the queue. There is a deposit required once the dealer contacts us.

Will I get a new Spyder? No guarantees. Due to high demand in some areas, people are putting in orders for the next model year (2024 ????) already.

Personally, if I were in the market...I would be putting my buying plans on hold for a couple years. I do not see a bright future for the product. And I do HOPE THAT I AM WRONG.

That is the type of email that you would be looking for from a scammer. Not good at all.

I think a scammer would be promising an early delivery date.

Sounds to me like BRP is not placing a very high priority manufacturing and/or selling Spyders. They want to take orders & deposits with no promise of delivery time or even that the bike will be made. Piss-poor way of doing business in my opinion..... Jim

and skipping model year 2023???? going to 2024??

that's what I was referring to the email being like a scam.

They are afraid the supply shortages and inflation are going to kill off sales in the future.

They are trying to conduct a secret poll to attempt to determine how many units to schedule.

I wonder..... Is BRP doing this for their other products too? Or is this just a Spyder thing. Supply shortages and inflation affect all products equally. If BRP is doing this just for Spyders than I think they are showing their lack of interest/focus on the Spyder market. I don't know the answers. I have had other BRP products and never run into anything like this..... Jim

No faith !

Uumm if my new Spyder ''AWAITS'' surely I could have it now.
Supply chains are screwed, economy is imploding,money is becoming worthless yet they persist with marketing babble.

[Little Blue]

...This is very interesting about the E-Mail. I have NOT received anything on this. But as always 'Buyer Beware' moving forward with this deal.

This may not be the real deal. I will wait and see what happens next.

Stay Healthy. ....

Their sled deliveries are pretty much the same.
