Can-am Spyder Units sold for 2015 and 2016?

Don't know. ..!!

No one knew how many were sold till they celebrated the 100,000th one. Several have asked in the past what the yearly production and sales were but we never heard....should be good considering you only have two choices.....:banghead:
 
When there was controversy over the heat issues in 2013, I believe that at that time they posted there were about 10,000 :ani29:'s sold per year on average. 2014, 2015, 2016 I would guess would be similar. Have not heard of any spurts or killer sales years since. Lots of F3's are being sold, but it is usually RT riders switching over.

We know there are now at least 100,000 out there. They did announce the sale of the 100,000th unit. How many more since then?????

The reason wanting to know the Can-am Spyder units were produced is t that I have a 2016 F3-S Triple Black Series Special. I would like to know how many units were produced for this bike. I read that this Can-am Spyder GS Phantom Black Edition SM5 only produced 500. Now, I am not sure if that is just a sales gimmick, but I am curious though. Here is the link that I found it at: https://visalia.craigslist.org/mcy/5913785916.html

Would like to how many units were produced. Since, the 2017 models have came in. The 2015 to 2016 models had the Nanny System. In which, you cannot disable the nanny system. Yes, the 2017 has the nanny system, yet it also has the "S" mode where you can disable the nanny system for an extreme fun ride. It does turn off the traction control from the rear. Sorry Mr. Lamonster, but I like this review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yInXuEcfsF0

:hun: If I read it right, that's not really correct!!

I don't believe there's anywhere in the publicity blurbs or the instructions where you get told you can turn off the VSS or turn off anything associated with Stability on the 2017 models (at least not anywhere I've been able to find - and I have been looking!!) :shocked:

Sport Mode simply reduces Traction Control intervention on the rear wheel, in particular if you have some steering dialed in at the same time!! But it doesn't 'Turn off the Nanny' by any stretch of the imagination - dial her back a little, maybe, but definitely not 'Turn Off'!! So she's still gonna be there keeping an eye on you! :lecturef_smilie:
 
RE: Limited production units. Unfortunately, :spyder2: does not have a high market value based on limited production units. I don't think there are any models or years out there that command a higher price because of any special distinction based on year x or model y.

One exception: Serial #1 said to be in the possession of Jay Leno.
Me, I would not pay more than market value for it. $7,500 ballpark.

Honestly, I would agree with you on this one. But, you'll be surprise that people will pay more than over $20,000 just like the autograph of the Wii with Sarah Palin. That cost a million dollars.

I don't think that's a feature of the "S" models; but only of the Daytona special edition.

While Lamont may use the phrase 'turns off traction control for the rear' or something similar early in the piece, I believe that's just 'poetic licence' as later on, he reminds us that 'all the safety features are still there watching out for you' and they've 'just dialled the Nanny back a little'; beside which, none of the tech documentation available that I've been able to access so far reflects that - it ALL says that it 'reduces' or 'limits intervention' by the traction control system to the rear tire only under certain circumstances while still leaving the traction control & stability control systems fully enabled for everything else - and doesn't that mean you aren't actually turning 'the Nanny' off?? I'll stand corrected if someone can point out where it's detailed that the traction &/or stability control systems are disabled or turned off by activating Sports Mode, but I think you might be reading a little more into it than actually happens. :dontknow: Sure, it'd be nice, even if only on the rear tire; but no, not yet anyway, & certainly not on any of the non-F3 models! :gaah:

Can anyone tell me or where I can go how many Can-am spyder units produced and sold for the year 2015 and 2016? BRP sold its 100,000 units as of May 4, 2015. Would like to know how many 2016 units that were produced and sold?

They only year we know for sure is the Premier Editions in 2008. They sold 2,500 of them... plus some dealer demos which ended up taking the numbering to like 3,400. Mine was #1977. Not worth any more than any other Spyder of the same year. The only way it could be worth more is if it was put in storage and never ridden.

We did come up with an estimate from reading some of the recalls that happened back in 2009-2010 for the RS models.. can't remember what they were.

They did make a big deal out of the 100,000 one... can't remember who bought it.

Honestly, if you read the technical manuals regarding the Nanny off than you might be right. I am not here to argue. But, it is interesting. Honestly, I just want to know the production and the units produced in 2016. Sure, it may not be of a value. But, I would love to know.

Here is a link for you. It also states: "When Sport Mode is activated, the Traction Control System (TCS) is turned off but the Stability Control System (SCS) remains engaged." http://ridermagazine.com/2016/06/28/...t-look-review/

Here is also another link regarding this. Plus, I believe that the 2017 Can-am Spyder models have the "S" mode. Here is another resource link:
 
Sport mode is a feature of all 2017 F3S models and that includes the Daytona which is a F3S. It is not a feature of the F3T or F3 Limited.
