Just ordered a sliver 2008 SE5. I'm in the Henderson / Las Vegas area.

I am so excited!!

Just had to post.

me too! but i did the red se5. congrats and good luck. did your dealer give you an idea when he expected yours to be in?

 

[mrfilovirus]

Supposed to be guaranteed by the end of November, but he said it will likely be August.

It is driving me crazy...

 

[mrfilovirus]

Excellent. I'm assuming this is the SM5 right?

Will you be sporting a pair of spyders?

I just bought a Spyder too! 06/26/2008

Located in U.K. - drove 300 mile round trip to test ride a Spyder & bought a Premium Edition yellow & black SM5 off their showroom floor. Should take delivery next week. Great fun to ride, even better seeing cars slowing down on the other side of the road with one guy taking a picture as he drove past!

Interested to know if anyone here has bought a Corbin seat to replace the standard fit?

 

[mrfilovirus]

Congrats on the yellow spyder.

I haven't seen anyone talking about the seat replacement at this point.

 

[G4HKS-spYder]

Thanks Brett, I am in fact getting mine delivered this Friday, July 4.

I was wondering if the Xenon light conversion is worthwhile for night riding? I did get a message back from Corbin re: the replacement seats and they do look very good but they haven't a date for delivery yet.

Plus!! As I am located in the U.K. I wondered if there are any other riders in the south? around the London/Surrey area? Let me know if you are! Direct email: [email protected]

I think we are pretty thin on the ground at the moment. Which is kind of cool anyway.

Just wish it was Friday......

Hard to believe I can go back to this original post.

I am picking up my SE5 today. Its been a bit of a wait - but I feel sorry for the year+ wait for the PE guys.

I put a deposit on a red SM5 the last week in July. Is supposed to be here the second week of September. If it gets here in time I will take it to Panama City for the Thunder Beach Fall rally, wasn't planning on riding anyway. Will tow my toy hauler, with the Spyder and my Boss Hoss trike inside. If the Spyder doesn't get here in time I will take my Rune.

that awsome. i hope it comes in. do you ride all the time or just every now and then?

 

[jwfranklin]

Now I have 3 bikes, the Spyder will make 4, I put about 20,000 miles a year on them. I also have 2 trucks, I put a total of about 8 - 10,000 miles a year on them. My HD Chevy gets most of them. and 90% of them is pulling my 30ft Toy Hauler or my 16 ft enclosed trailer. I pretty much ride all year. Here in the Atlanta area they are always days to ride even during the winter. Especially with heated gear.

well i havent riddin any other motorcycles to compare but the why the spyder is designed i dont think you will have a problem staying warm in the winter on it. im skinny and always have a problemw ith being cold and it keeps me warm.

Just put my deposit down on a spider...wondering what the wait time is. Dealer says 2-4 weeks........I'v read other posts that say they have waited months. Any ideas?

Can am seems to be on a roll right now. What color and model? (sm5 vs SE5)

 

[Spyderman]

When I was there earlier this year, I was told they were working hard to reduce the wait and after a slower period as they ramped up the SE5's they would increase factory output. Here is a picture I took of Spyders awaiting shipment:

 

[drifter123]

I'm getting the silver SE5...have heard this is most common color...hopefully that means less wait time.

Yep - it should be "relatively" quick then.

Still Waiting
