BRP Finacial Concerns

[BigJohnP]

For you that feel Bombardier do not have the money to support the :spyder2: you may fine this of interest.

Bombardier sells 10 jets for $259m http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-25555320 :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

With the problems that people seem to have with their :spyder2: not sure that they would want to fly on one of there jets. Do remember though that Bombardier have been building aircraft much longer then :spyder2: so maybe it is just a matter of time. :banghead::banghead::banghead:

That would be one thing if Bombardier and BRP were one and the same. But they were sold or spun off from Bombardier several years ago.

Bombardier sold off BRP in 2003 and no longer has any financial interest in the company.

What was the original point of this thread? :dontknow:
Maybe I'm just "end of the year tired" or something; but if you don't like BRP, Can Am, Bombardier, Ski Doo, Lynx, Evinrude,LaBatt's, Maple syrup, or Lear; just don't buy them... :gaah:

:shocked: Sorry... I feel better now!

They got my $27 grand and all I got was a.............. never mind!

Be grateful that they have gone their separate ways. There's an old adage in aviation..."to make a small fortune in aviation you need to start with a large one". Most aircraft manufacturers have trouble keeping their doors open (even with an occasional decent order). Biz jets are a limited market with tough competition.

BRP has been building snowmobiles for 55 years. That gives them a pretty good track record IMO.
The airplane part was gone from the company eleven years ago, so that no longer relates to anything. If you are going to flame the company's products do some research first.

 

[Chupaca]

Have to agree..!!

BOB
:agree: they got my money and I got a great machine...if I could justify buying their other products would do it in a heartbeat...:thumbup:

 

[Highwayman2013]

We got a great fun machine too!:yes:

 

[ARtraveler]

No need to flame BRP and :spyder2: brand over this one. Like others said. Apples and oranges here.

 

[Dan_Ashley]

I rode my Spyder yesterday and today. All total 127 miles. If I didn't like it I would get something else. It is as much fun as any two wheeler--different, but at least as much fun. It is as reliable as any other motorcycle I've owned. I think My $25K could not have been spent on a better machine. Just my (not so) humble opinion.

 

[BikerDoc]

Did anyone's grandfather ever say to them "if you don't have something nice to say just say nothing?" I hope so and I hope we will all practice that more in 2014

 

[Edsts]

I think we are living in different times !

Lets not pretend that some of the spyder do not have any problems , It's common sense and a natural human reaction if one spend 20 grand or over and their unit has issues , you bet there going to voice thiere opinion . Yes these units are fun to ride and that's if you have a great working unit then kudos to ya , it's not all love some times ,

Sounded to me like the thread opener was just showing some info and everyone turned it around as if he was flaming the company? :dontknow:

I'm just glad the 2013 did not have wings and flies or else.

:agree: I understood the OP to be indicating that there was no need to be worried about BRP's financial stability. Even though he was wrong about his info (and he admitted it), I didn't see it as flaming.
