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.
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.

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

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

...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. ....
