• 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.

Phantom limited edition number

model number is next to vin on bike also. if yours says a15n Ozzie then maybe thats not an indication of it being a phantom. Again it has been promoted as a limited eidtion by dealers (numerous including mine). truth was I wanted th elooks of the phantom and only paid 1500 more for it and though that was a good deal. if you bought one for its limited edition numbers...well my feel is you got taken. IMHO it looks better than any other stock spyder they have produced by far and that includes the RT but thats just my opinion.
 
also capn dan I lived in Wichita falls for 18 years moving here to KS 3 years ago. We have traveled many of the same roads!!

i do have a 09 phantom with the a19n model # , and the vin# ends with 560? i guess the vin #'s are not sequential or they made over 500 of these. i also purchased this for the looks and not the limited edition #, but it would be nice to know that i'm one of the few worldwide..

All I know is when BRP made the PE's--- it was originally supposed to be 1,500. Then they upped it to 2,500 ---- and many got numbers up in the 3,400 range.

It is what it is--- buy it to ride.
 
Collector ane legalease

true you can turn any spyder into a phantom. It would be nice to know if there is an indication on our buikes though that actually denotes it as a phantom. From a true collectors standpoint this would be a need to know item. There are people in this world that would want to know that and quite honestly for it to be advertised as a limited edition by the company and dealers only to find it is not is deceptive at best. Do a google search for 2009 spyder phantom and youll find many dealerships offering it as a limited in production to 500.
 
Hey XXX 74 - I have no idea, I bought mine strictly for the lack of color. Being "Exclusive" has nothing to do with what I ride, it will eventually rot away along with my body. Just havin fun while I'm alive..:D
 
Hey its only got three wheels and two of which are in the front. How much more exclusive do we need to get? I feel like a rock star everywhere I go with people eye balling the bike.

:clap: That is what it all about... :agree:


Still leaves you quite shy of all the phantom add-on's though.....

yeah... but with the extra cash I would do other changes to the spyder.. that is just me... paying extra for a color or for something they said it was limited only to find out that you can buy it on ebay is simply wrong on BRP... refund !
 
Again you can make any spyder look like a phantom. However from a collectors satndpoint it appears the a19n indicates it is a phantom. Least thats what I understand. I bought the phantom becasue of the color, fog lights and rims whihc if purcashed seperately would add up to a lot more than the extra 1500.00 i paid for my phantom. You say you would spend the money on extras for the phantom. well if those extras include the body kit, wheel kit, fog lights, seat cover, and billet cover up products it CAN be a really good deal even if they made 5000 of em.
