Ryker Inventory/Production

[Azbronco]

I brought home my new Ryker today! The dealer was about 45 miles away, so I had a great ride home (being conscious to vary my speed...)

Anyway, when I put money down on one last week, I was told they had 2 600s, 4 900s, and 1 Rally. When I picked mine up today, the sales lady told me only 3 are still available, and she has 4 quotes out so one person may end up unhappy with them. But since they are a low pressure dealership, they aren't using that info to pressure people into buying right away, "people buy when they're ready."

Great ride home--different than 2 wheels, for sure, but super fun.

So it would appear Ryker production is 2 to 4 weeks behind. My dealer just told me the 900's he ordered to be here last month just shipped and he expected the Rally's to be right behind them. So hopefully my Rally will ship next week. So it appears dealer's are still getting their orders fulfilled and there will be more Ryker's in the showroom's soon.

The Rykers are also sold very quickly in Germany and Switzerland. It is certainly because you can ride a trike here with a car driving licence. You don't need an additional test or a motorcycle driving licence. Thus, car driver can easily fulfill the dream of "motorcycling". The Spyder was too expensive for many, the Ryker is an ideal recreational vehicle at a reasonable price.

In the OP the May and Q4 dates make sense. BRP typically stops roadster production in April to change over to snowmobile production. When we were given the factory tour at the 2017 Homecoming BRP was getting ready to revamp the assembly line totally to allow one line to build both roadsters and snowmobiles. Up until 2017 they had two separate assembly lines but they did not run them simultaneously. So there really could be a crunch as far as dealers getting any more Rykers.

Who knows? With all the snow in the northern US and Canada this past winter they may be looking to increase snowmobile production for next winter, in which case we might still see a tight supply of Rykers next year.
