5 seasons gone to waste. 6 years since this thing was announced. Robby has swindled you people and is probably planning his escape to his island with hos ponzi money.

Where did you get those numbers? I put a deposit on day 1 and it was like 3 1/2 years ago?

Point in fact day 1 of deposits I believe was 9-15-2019

It is I just pulled my receipt out and looked at it

Nice to see some cars that actually look like they are going to be shipped. As an added bonus it actually looks like they might be building cars in the background.

You assume I don't have a car that I currently drive?
You don’t have your Speed which all the fan boys say is better than anything out there. Until they are delivered my Can Am is proven and better than your unicorns. I think because it’s taking so long the ProR will prove to be as good or better than unicorns.

I just heard the USofA is operating at a 31 TRILLION dollar debt limit.

Carry on...

What are you even doing here? Do you own a boat? Can you just keep your posts to GD?

BTW? I'm not a fanboy, nor do I even own a SXS

How is all of this all being financed? If they were originally thinking delivery 2 years ago, wouldn't the amount of debt accrued be through the roof by now? At what point does the creditor say no more?

FYI Robbie said last August when I was talking to him that they had over $253 million invested in this venture this is not small time stuff. Even if you add up all the deposit and the accessories that everyone had to pay for in full it would still not even come close to paying what they have invested in this or enough to even start this up.

I’ve recently heard from two unrelated people that Speed car has been sold to Hisun. Is there any truth to that?

I don't doubt that, and I also don't doubt that a large amount of that is financed in some way.

I have also heard the same a few weeks ago! And Robby is on the hook until all pre-paid car orders are filled🤷🏻‍♂️

Lol.. I love the rumors.

Reality is I think Hisun has been the financial backing from the beginning. Robby has money but he doesn’t have a 1/4 of a billion laying around. On the first day he announced when I put my deposit down he was showing me pics of these giant automated factories in China and said that is who was backing him..

Companies like Ford, Bombadier, Polaris and GM operate on debt. I wouldn’t think any different for this manufacture.
Yup, the biggest companies in America use financing for daily operations.
Companies that are well established, not a start-up.
However, if Hisun is RGs major financial backer then the topic is rather moot.

If I sell my boat do I have to turn in my RDP membership card? Asking for a friend. thx

If your sole purpose in joining was to engage in a Speed UTV thread with ZERO actual information, not provide anything useful to the forum, boat or non-boat related, and just regurgitate the same shit as you do on GD, then yes, removing your RDP card would be beneficial. You could also post on River whips and Desert whips, as an alternative option.

Of course Hisun is the financial backer and im sure a major partner in the brand. Is that a surprise to anyone at this point? You think they just let him come and use their factories without any skin in the game? lol come on now!

Anyone can click on anyone’s nake and then hit the messages button. It will bring up their past posts..

While he certainly is active in this thread he is participating in other threads of the forum and not being negative..

Not sure what his hang up is on the speed deal.. overall though as I said before it isn’t his only interest in here

I’ll second that I know everybody’s entitled to their opinion but it sure be nice if the majority were actually interested owners or actual deposit holders. And hopefully in another week we can add another line that says actual owners that have cars.

Not trying to stir the pot here but are any deposit holders getting worried? Customers were supposed to have cars in the middle of january and now RG is saying middle of february. Why the month delay? We've all seen the pic of the "new" batch that is supposedly shipping soon but did the first batch ever arrive? I'm no marketing genius but if the first batch of cars were here you could bet your ass I would be posting pics of the containers here in the U.S.

I am at 3200 and something down the line and even more I have a Diablo order. With that said I will be further down the line for darn sure. Only put my order in last February so not even a year for me yet. I have a Manx with Subaru engine. I have made more trips this year so far than the prior 3 years so it’s not bothering me to wait. In fact I purposely bought way down the line but before cost went up just so If there are any issues it would be less likely I am affected by them. I do not believe anything Can-Am, KTM, Honda, Kawasaki, Polaris I have had them all I’ve had issues Chevy, Ford, dodge shit happens. And in fact I’m old enough now that I can tell you a lot of that stuff I named was built in the US and still had issues. Now when it came to flying airplanes which I did don’t do much anymore I can tell you the quality control is a little bit tighter.

No not really, he said the cars should hit port Jan. 11th, and in Customers hands mid Feb. He didn't say they would have their cars in Jan.

There have definitely been delays in shipping arriving on the West Coast due to recent storms, my company was hit hard by crude tankers not being able to arrive on time to the West Coast. I doubt we would see pictures of them until they are thru customs and on their way to Havasu.

they also said Thanksgiving last year. Until a shipping container is on a truck leaving the port to Havasu theres no true dates. The thought that people are still trying to narrow this down to a month is fascinating.
Thats why we are here! Its like a human bug zapper, you cant stop flying to to the light

I believe we are not doing that in this thread 🤷. They will come when they come. No one is worried about all the money Robbie has taken in deposits.

Maybe Dave can start Speed 4 for you and call it "Triggered Speed Buyer's".

You might feel safe there. 🙂

I don't know what those other two web sites are, but honestly they sound kinda ghay, do people really put lighted whips on their boats? I thought the whole lighted whips on buggies and quads was ghay enough, but boats, thats really ghay. I do see many stickers of those web sites on cars and trucks, but I also see lots of rainbow stickers on vehicles as well.

I will pass on those suggestions, thank you.


Did 20 years in the Corps, when I joined it was illegal, then they made it "don't ask don't tell"... I got out before they made it mandatory. Maybe the whip crowd can hang, not my style.

Lol not this shit again don’t you know none of them will bet they are to scared I have 20 dollar bet with lof and river Dave that they don’t get there cars by next Halloween
It’s honestly sad. I hope they get their cars sooner than that. A lot of people have sold previous cars hoping that Robby could deliver based off what he’s told them. Now plenty have people have missed out on the season or seasons

50 in 6 months. At that pace 18000 unit should be built by 2203

I know I know. Vietnam should pump out 9000 a year or something.

Realistic how long should it take for a storage container with these cars to come the port
