The Search Continues

[Bytemi]

Still searching for my future Spyder, didn't want anyone to think that I fell off the grid. :D

I keep going back to this bike:

http://www.wherethepoweris.com/2012-can-am-spyder-rt-sm5-inventory.htm?id=879724&in-stock=1

my concern is it is a 2012 with 24,048 and I don't want her going up in flames.... I'm just saying.

The price point with the sale is spot on with what Erik said we can do. So I need opinions, please. Should I be looking for 2014 or newer, or is older OK. When is it too much mileage wise?

Hope everyone has a great day!!!!!!!!!

What a crazy coincidence! That 2012 RT is what I traded in for my 2014 RTS. I promise you that this bike is in excellent condition. All dealer servicing has been done on time. The 2012 was a great year. I really wanted to keep it, but couldn't afford 2, nor have the room for 2.

Not to mention, this has the BajaRon sway bar, which greatly improved the handling.

If you have any specific questions, just let me know.

Hi Adele!
A 2012 RT is a GREAT bike! nojoke

It's already four year's old... if it was going to burn: we'd have read about it a LONG time ago. :D

Erik just noticed it is a SM5, because of hand craps I need the semi-automatic. :( Very sad.

I strongly suggest a 2014 and up. :thumbup: Tom :spyder:

Was just going to say.....but noticed it will not work out for you..:banghead::banghead: was a good deal for a good spyder....

There's no doubt that the 1330 RTs have seen a lot of improvements.
But it was the 998 bikes, that got it all started. There's STILL a lot to love about them! nojoke

A hard decision. The 2012 is pretty rock solid. I have a 2011 with 23,000 and it is still riding like new.

I do like my 2014 a bit better though.

Really, really, really, don't let the few fires reported turn you off :spyder2:. It can happen to any motorized vehicle. The odds of a :spyder2: not going up in flames are very much in your favor. 50/100,000 is the ball park number--give or take 2 or 3.

Oh its not deterring me, remember Stealth Billie was 2008 GS Premier Edition, if I was worried about catching fire, I would have never bought her!

I have the 2012, bought it new. Nice bike. Probably have 36,000 miles on it and I think it's just broken in. Plan on putting at least one number in front of that odometer reading! Enjoy!
