I have the option of also buying a 2012 RS with 9000 miles at $8500. . I do not know enough to make an intelligent decision on this. I know my way around a motorcycle and usually feel really confident making decisions. Thus, asking advice here.
I have riden sports tourning bikes, big touring bikes, crusers and many styles in between. I have also been on the Spyder’s for short period of times. I really like the neutral riding position the best. I don’t mind a more aggressive riding position but at 50 it is harder on my body. I love the way the Spyder handles and I am confident I will love the machine. I can foresee how much fun this will be.
Thanks for for the help and every opinion matters to me as I want both sides of the picture. The dealership has one 2014 model available but the price jumps up considerably. When I research this I find many 2013’s available and all of them have low miles. That is a Ted flag to me. I may be looking at this wrong. I find fewer 2014+ models and the price is much higher for comparable models.
Continue with the valid points.
