Imagine my pleasure to find my Spyder had arrived. Already got the insurance. I'll do the dealer and title paperwork this week, but they can't get it prepped until next week, which is full for me. I'll trailer over and pick it up next week Wednesday. VIN #000150, but that may not be the PE #, since there are also PE SE5s this time around, and different models can repeat the serial number digits. I'll know next week. First pic below of me with my new RT-S!
Scotty, So far, you have the lowest VIN#. Mine is 000180. You may have a really low PE number. Seems I remember reading that one of the RT-5 machines was 130 or something like that.

There is more to the VIN# than the last six digits. Those are repeated model by model, and there are lots of models, including one for every color and transmission combination. All one can tell about my VIN# is that this was the 150th Premiere Edition SM5 RT-S to be produced. Matters not to me. Jay Leno can have #1 of this model, too.

I think a little of each. I think they wait a bit to get a truckload, but I know the partial truck unloaded at my dealer had only my RT and two watercraft for my dealer, even though they have had additional RT orders after mine. I think a dealer with more BRP items on order stands a better chance of an earlier delivery, but I can't really verify that. I read one report of a shipping notification for a Spyder ordered in the middle of November, yet mine was shipped a bit later and ordered in September. MO and KS seem to have gotten the first notifications of truckloads out of the factory, but they are farther away than Michigan. I suspected at first that the SE5s were shipping first, but then my SM5 showed up. In short, some rhyme, some reason, and probably some special BRP formula. Appears to be an improved process over the first PE Spyder shipments in 2007 and 2008, however...much better!

PS: couldn't stand it any longer, we're going down to the shop today to check it out and see if they have started the assembly! Hope they won't mind me being in the way.
No need to feel guilty , my understanding was that they were being shipped out by Regions. Mine will get here soon enough (any day now).
to you and enjoy your new ryde. I am happy for you and everyone else, now let the fun really begin
, I wouldn't be able to stand it either, waiting for the assembly, I would want to watch.
PS: I will not be bringing mine home as soon as they put it together anyways. It is staying at the Dealership for a paint job, being done right away. Doesn't make sense to bring it home now and then bring it back, being winter here, best time to do it

By the way, I placed my order September 18.

Our's is here guys!! I beat the truck to Reno's by about 10 minutes. Watched them unload 3 PE SE RT's. Two of them are sold but I got to pick mine out. They had 0192, 0197, and 0203, we chose 0192. The last 3 numbers in the VIN and the PE number are the same. We were able to watch them uncrate it and I got to see the PE number on the seat. They will have it ready for me to pick up tomorrow so I have to hunt up my cold weather/rain gear so I can ride it home.
