    Pretty sure Spyderlovers is 7,000 +.
    BRP doesn't release sales numbers, but going from recall data, etc... I would put worldwide sales somewhere Between 40,000 - 50,000.

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    so less than 20% are members on spyderlovers! so don't they know about it yet, or are they just laying back and doing nothing?

    I think if SL has 20% of all spyder owners that would be amazing. I can't think of any other bike-- or any item for that matter that has those kinds of numbers.

    I'm having "Vendor on SyderLovers.com" printed on the back of my new Seal FloorBoards business cards. Need to spread the word (see "WHILE I'M IN THE MOOD") posting. 20% is not enough!

    Ride in comfort,

    I am pretty sure they recalled 16,000 of them in 2010 for the power steering thing. I would guess there are closer to 25,000 plus out there by now. But I never see them.


    Anyone with a spyder and NOT on this board is really missing out IMHO. Without the help I have gotten on here I would have bailed a long time ago.

    ya, that's the reason i posted this in the first place. was in a dealer picking up some oil the other day and there were two spyder owners there. asked them if they were going to sita and they hadn't heard of it. neither of them had heard of spyderlovers.com either. did the same thing you did mike, i introduced them to it and told them it was a wealth of knowledge just waiting for the taking!!
