• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

New 2019 RT Limited on the way

I contacted Tim and he said there s a problem with shipping. It is still 3 to 4 weeks out. Tim seemed real genuine. At least he gave me straight answers. My salesperson,s phone must be broken because he never returned calls. I would avoid Mike Kay.

Difficult news regarding delivery delays

I have not heard anything further on my purchase, on which I paid the full balance due last week. I anticipated a reasonable delay, but I don't think 3 to 4 weeks is legitimately reasonable, especially when the customer has already been patient awhile. iMotorsports, according to their website, handles their own logistics. They do not promise any specific delivery but I was provided an estimate of 2 to 3 weeks; one of those weeks is almost gone.

From the customer point of view, a 3 to 4 week delay means your first payment could end up due before you ever have the purchase in your possession. My only leverage at this point is that I am still in possession of the trade-in, but that is less than half the value of the purchase. I will be out a very large sum of money if they fail to deliver, although at this point we are still talking delay not failure.

Will post updates when things change. Sorry to hear this news after trusting them with my purchase. If someone from the sales team would like to rebut, I think we'd all appreciate it.

Thanks, Bob
 
Keep us posted.

Remember that Covid is spiking again. If this is coming from IL, there may be some Covid issues.

I called them at one week out from funds transfer and they gave me a date and time. They arrived within 30 minutes of the time.

I hear ya! Been waiting since June 8th for my 2018 RTL being shipped from Ann Arbor to Salt Lake City. This Monday, the 29th, is their "delivered no later than" date. Don't think they're gong to make that.

Out of curiosity, have you got your new RT yet?

Even if you haven't... :congrats:
 
Got an email today that my new RTL should be at set-up but nobody wrote back to confirm whether it is or is not.

Now the long holiday weekend is here so guess I'll have to be patient, again.
:gaah:
 
i just made my first payment on an invisable Spyder. i am learning a good lesson. i will never do this again. they don't appear to have their poop in a group. they need to know the art of communication

Bob - Besides the cost aspect, what thoughts swung you over to the 2019 versus the 2020 ultimately? I'm new to all this and been thinking about getting a Can-Am RT Limited but also have no motorcycle experience...hoping to get that soon! I have an opportunity to get either a 2020 RT Limited Red/Dark or a 2019 Gray RT Limited SE6 but with the cash savings similar to what you mentioned. I'm blessed to afford either option, just don't want to waste money if not worth it since both are new. Love to hear your thoughts as it seems the 2020 version is well-received with the updates I can see!!

Thanks...Kent

how are you coming with the delivery of your spyder.

I was given a delivery date today, but I had to bypass my salesman to get it. The Spyder left the dealership on a truck last Friday, and might be delivered this weekend, or by next Tuesday at the latest. As a former long-haul trucker, I definitely understand that some flexibility is inherent.

So, finally some good news. Hope it plays out as stated, but will let you know.
:ohyea:

Hi Kent,

I won't pretend it was a long drawn-out process. I'm within a few years of retiring, so the cost factor is what won out. I'm trying to eliminate debts by the time I give up working. I expect this will very likely be the last motorcycle I buy. So in that sense, even though I'm a long-term Harley owner and rider, the Spyder - especially with the rebate - made far better economic sense. To get the same level of equipment at HD I would have had to buy a Tri-Glide at nearly twice the price of the Spyder. I'm no longer able to trust myself on two wheels.

I've owned a 2014 ST for the last two years, and I definitely enjoy it. I wanted to move up to both the 1330 and a touring model. I don't like how the F3 fits me. By all accounts the 2020 RT is a better machine, but I would have had to finance a part of it given the price difference. In addition, I don't like the 2020 chrome package as much as I do the 2019 version, and I'm not a fan of the dark edition.

So that's my story; money and looks won out. Sounds kind of like a marriage proposal doesn't it? :rolleyes:

Best to you,
Bob

How are things going with your delivery? Hope it arrives soon.

Mine is supposed to be here tomorrow about noon, will post pictures after it arrives.

Good luck,
Bob
 
Delivered today

My new RTL arrived today from iMotorsports. Despite some bumps, the trike arrived a bit ahead of the promise date (Monday) and everything appears to be perfect other than a bit of road dust.


:2thumbs:
Thanks to everyone here who's been following along and for the words of encouragement. Now comes the honeymoon period, but everything looks good today.

Here's a couple of photos. I need to change my signature next!
