Who owns the lowest Premiere Edition number...

[Spyder Tony]

While participating on another thread today, I started wondering what the lowest number was for the Premiere Edition Spyder owners on Spderlovers.com. To start things off, I am the proud owner of a 2008 GS with Premiere Edition number 2712. Might not be "Jay Leno" type numbers, but she has over 30K miles and is still runnin' strong & proud.

I know i'm not the lowest Premiere Edition number out there, so...Let the games begin!!!

Rhetorical question:
At what year will the '08 GS be considered a "classic"?

#1

JAY LENO owns #1... yellow GS...

I have a 2008 GS and it is -0001; that's one below Jay's. It's a premiere, premiere edition and quite rare.

It's been awhile.

I believe there were about 2500++ or so of the 1500 Premier Editions made on the 2008 GS. I had a 2008 GS--but not the premier edition flavor.

I do have a Premier Edition 2010 RT-S #474.

Regarding value: Much has been discussed about PE's being worth more. Only time will tell. I did look up the difference on my 2010 Premier compared to the regular RTS since I will be shortly trading it off. Kelly Blue Book showed about a $500 advantage for the Premier on trade in. Whether or not that will play out in real life is still to be determined. I am guessing the average buyer could care less on a four year old machine. :dontknow:

We have a winner...

Wyliec...I find your bike (and the corresponding history) VERY interesting!!!
I never knew there was a Spyder (or spyders) produced before the famed #1 which belongs to Jay Leno. Looks like you are the winner, as I cannot fathom a Premiere Edition GS (or other model) lower than -0001. Is it your daily driver, or do you have it hermetically sealed in a hyperbaric chamber in a garage on some far off island?
