But can you do it with each going in opposite directions. That should keep you busy till January :thumbup:

:shocked: I'm not actually all that good at it... pps:

I guess that I'd like to think if he's going to be late; the sled will be stocked with even COOLER toys! :thumbup:

Thank Goodness that I've at LEAST got a picure of me on a 2014... :roflblack:

jmho..having been here a relatively short time I have noticed an increased lack of parts and inability to maintain a proper stock. This is a supplier issue cause I hate to think it's a factory and dealer problem. Nonetheless I would venture a guess that they are having supplier problems. New parts new machining testing all have to be done as production starts. Who knows where all the parts come from to build these machines once ordered into production and if the same parts come from one or many suppliers. ( hence some issues on one yet not another). Have been there it is not easy your product is dependant on many manufacturers...hope they can get them out in reasonable time and at least let us know.....

No one but BRP knows what the real problem is. Could be design, supplier capabilty/ capacity, internal assembly problems, or some of all of that. If they manage the launch planning properly (certainly not a given), supplier quality and capacity would be verified BEFORE production starts.
No matter what the cause of the delay, it is better to wait until the problems are solved for BOTH the customer and BRP. Don't forget that the 2013 problems were VERY expensive for BRP let alone irritating the hell out of many customers. I would bet my 401k that they are gun-shy about repeating the 2013 fiasco.

Right! Last year he was right on time… BUT WAS CARRYING COAL!! :banghead:

If there's a problem of any kind, I'd rather they fix it before they bring them out. I mean, January instead of November...so?

My dealer (Fredericksburg motorsports) told me on 5 November that delivery to them would be Jan-Feb. I for one don't see much advantage to releasing any type of a (primarily) fair-weather vehicle at the beginning of winter. Color me unsurprised and unconcerned.

I waited 9 months to take delivery of one of the first 5th generation Camaros; this is nothin'

 

[PW2013STL]

Another possibility is that I was told that this release BRP is going to supply all their dealers around the same time. If that is true then they have to build a boat load of Spyders to ship.
Could be the "WHY" it's taking so long.:yikes:

 

[Bob Denman]

That might have been HINTED during my discussions; but nothing was directly admitted. :dontknow:

 

[SpyderAnn01]

I got an update from my customer service guy at BRP on Thuirsday and he said my RTS-SM6 is still scheduled to be built the end of January. No change on that. Which makes me think that they have not stopped the production line but it also makes me wonder what they are doing with all of the completed machines. Are they sitting out in the snow in Quebec in crates?

They, are on loan to Santa. :thumbup:

 

[MouthPiece]

I ordered my 2013 RT-S the day after (Monday) BRP came out with the 2013's in "D.C.". I was told at the time I'd have my spyder by November. I got it December 28th. There was a fella down in Kissimmee that got his just about a week or two earlier than I. This delivery date was normal.

2014 till January

Is worth the wait, let them make sure is right before they hit the street, yes a minor incontinence but you don't want to be the one finding issues in your brand new ride..

Yup...

They're covered up; no problems... :thumbup:

All 2014 accessories will be available at your local dealer and online in February 2014.

I hope that doesn't correspond with the arrival of the actual bikes.

 

[Bob Denman]

Hopefully; that'll give all of us a Month to walk around the bike going...

... and getting our "Wish-Lists" tuned up! :2thumbs:

Good thing is, they put the 2 Years Extended warranty on the 2014's in writing, assuming this promotion is still going on when they actually ship:
