Owners of "official" Premier Edition Spyders

[ARtraveler]

I don't remember anyone else doing this--so thought I would give it a try.

There was a premier edition offering when the first 2008's came out. I believe it was supposed to be 1500 only--but they made about 2500 or more. The PE is identified by a plaque on the handlebar that says Premier Edition #XXXX

There was also a premier edition offering when the first RT's came out in 2010. They have Premier Edition #XXXX sewn into the front of the seat.

If something "new" is going to happen in 2013 they may also offer a premier edition.

It would be interesting to see how many premier edition owners are on board Spyderlovers.

If you will post your model and premier edition number, I will compile the information spreadsheet style and come up with a magic listing for everyone's information. Ask that you use the following format:

I will go first:

Question(s): How many PE RTs were built, and how are they marked so that we'd know what they are?

I'm not sure how many RT-S premier editions were built. The number was sewd on the seat up close to the glove compartment.

There were to be 2500 premiere edition GS sold. Ended up around 3500

Here's the deal on the 2008 GS Premiere numbering:

When they were doing the early demos they said they were only going to make 1,500. They were going so fast they upped the number to 2,500 by mid or early 2007.

They actually only produced around 2750 PE Spyders.. can't remember the actual number-- it's out here somewhere. The problem was that they skipped numbers in production and to have them match the VIN's --- they did end up with numbers up in the 3,500 range. Dealer demo bikes with the PE # on them were not counted towards 'real' PE bikes.

It was a nightmare to say the least and upset many owners.

In answer to Bob D's question. How do I know if I have Premier Edition?

2008's had a handlebar plaque that said Premier Edition #XXXX

2010's had Premier Edition and #XXXX sewn into the seat.
