News on the Red Spyders

[SSL4X4]

I called my dealer today here in Denver. He gave me some bad news. That rumor going around about the Red being delayed is true. He got a notice yesterday from Can-Am that the Reds were pushed back a month so we are looking at late Septemeber before the Red SM5s even arrive. The SE5s are another story as we all know. I ordered my bike early in June so I am get anxious like everyone. So I guess it was my lucky day. He told me he had a couple being assembled at the shop if I was willing to take a yellow one. I kicked it around a bit. Then I went over to the shop. The red is actually a darker burgundy look and I want fire engine red anyway...after all I am a State Farm agent!! There arent as many yellow ones out there and if I want to have my red I would have to paint it anyway. I know I have heard silver is better to paint over but not sure I will at this point. So I joined lamonster today and got a yellow one!! I pick it up on Wednesday. Sorry I caved in on the Red...I just done think its worth waiting two more months for when its not even the red I wanted in the first place.

I don't know where you got the idea that the BRP red is a dark burgundy red, it is not. It is not Fire Engine red either though. I saw them up at Valcourt when we went to the homecoming and they are a bright red and almost had an orange tone in my opinion. The photographs you see don't truly give you an idea of the read red color they are I discovered. I would have liked the BRP red even more had it been a dark burgundy red. Not that it matters as I had my silver custom painted Candy Apple Red anyway. :2thumbs:

Regardless of the red, I am happy for you getting your own spyder. Any spyder in any color is just cool.:doorag:

I asked the salesman who sold me my Spyder about the red ones when I was at the dealership yesterday, he told me the weren't supposed to get theirs in until October.

I did the same thing about 3 weeks ago. I love the yellow, and I also agree with you that the red was not bright enough. Safe riding! Beerman

I spoke to my sales rep yesterday and he told me mid-September for my red Spyder.

Why is it - we always want something we can't have . . . .

Ordered mine back in April and when the dealer told me he coul get a yellow one for me real soon I swapped - had it on Memorial Day weekend:yes:

Just for clarity, your post makes it seem like you are picking up a SE5 on wed. It is a SM or SE your getting?

Could the SE's be coming this early? Please say it is so ray:

:yes:

I hope they never come out! Like Highlander, there can be only one.

Yellow, Red, Silver, Black, it's all good if you're on a Spyder. :thumbup::spyder::yes::2excited:

If you can tell what color :spyder:you are riding, you are GOING TO SLOW!

I guess what I'm trying to say is - if silver and red were available then we would all want yellow instead . . . .:dontknow:

Same here when i placed my order iit was for red.

After waiting like 5 to 6 weeks i got a call from the dealer and they said we have a yellow here if you want it come and get it. They had no clue when they would get a red one but said maybe in early fall.


So now i have a red one.

I'd take any colr including pink if it was an SE5. Then I'd paint it Black Cherry or Porsche red.

Hi spyderBrett it was an SM5 that I got in yellow. My point is that the SE5s had been delayed but evidently there is an issue with the Red paint or something and all Red is delayed. I was told I could get a Red SM5 byt August but then informed that all Reds were delayed until September or October. I just turned over 600 miles on my Yellow Spydie today and he is doing well...no oil usage....yes the front end does whine a little....but so do my employees and they dont work as hard as my Spyder!!
