Thoughts on switching from SM to SE.
I have already convinced myself to trade my 2011 RTS SM5, for a 2014 RTS SM6, but am having a hard time finding an SM6 without a long wait. I have been offered a very acceptable deal for a Limited in the color my wife loves. I would truly appreciate any input about going from Manual to Semi-Auto. I do like to shift & could wait a month or so for the SM, but I could have the limited delivered this Saturday. I really would like to hear from riders who have made the switch and honestly if you regret it or love it. Will make my decision later today. Its just been driving me nuts trying to decide.:banghead: Thanks for any input!:sour:
Thanks for all the input!
I'm making the jump now. Just can't pass up this deal on a limited. The worn out boot and sore left hand, let alone stuck in traffic has convinced me, and last week while riding with a bunch of Spyders a friend that owns a limited with very little riding experience had to do a panic stop & turn :yikes: & I must say I was very impressed with how the limited handled it. It would have been a real pain for me to pull off what he did with a manual. Thanks to all ;).

Update to the switch from SM to SE
After reading all the replies I did it!:yes: Besides having a wonderful dealership (PowerSports), Cleveland Oh.;) My good friend (Dave) had a 2014 Limited in Congac in a crate & put it together & delivered in 2 days. :bowdown: They put me at the head of the line & so far I absolutely couldn't be happier!:2thumbs: My wife loves the color & it is a real head turner! It took me the 1st stop light to get over not having the manual transmission. I also averaged 39.5 mpg 1st trip out! I was riding with (7) other Spyders & when 2 of my buddies pulled in to get gas one of then pointed to me & said you better fill up now. I looked at my gauge & I had only used a quarter of a tank:thumbup:. I Absolutely positively Love this Bike! I had know idea it would be this different from my 2011RTS. Pictures will follow soon! Thanks to all who responded with the opinions! :D Just ordered over $1500 worth of goodies for my new Baby! This is definitely a keeper!!:clap::2excited:One Happy, Happy, Happy :spyder2: rider!!!!!:yes:This is it!
