Everybody will be selling their current Spyder to buy a 2020 RT! Except the OP and one other!

My wife kept her '14 RT-S SM6 also. She has custom artwork on it and loves it. Me, I bought a 2020 RT Limited Petrol Dark and used my black '14 RT-S SM6 as a trade-in. Then the next day decided I wanted it back. LOL 3 spyders for 2 riders. I may end up selling the black after de-farkling it a little.

Uh, No. I'm ok with my 2010, it's running well enough. It's not my primary bike and I could never justify spending that much on a new one in any event. Would I take one if it showed up in my garage one day? Sure, but I'd never tie myself to that much depreciation as well as personal property tax it would bring.

I will definitely be keeping my 2016 F3T for a while. I like the looks of the 2020RT, but I cannot justify that type of purchase right now. There were a lot of changes, but I foresee a driveline change coming in the next 2 years or so. That would be my main reason for changing things up. I feel like the 2020 RT is going to be a stepping stone to even greater things, kinda like the 2013 got new suspension parts and such, but the real upgrades didn't take place until 2014.
Besides, I still have my 2nd generation Vmax for 2 wheeling and picked up this baby for additional open air riding

Kind of most common remarks I have heard by others content with not buying a 2020, waiting on drivetrain upgrade to shaft, waiting on bigger engine, the trade in value vs new bike cost is not there yet.

I had a 1994 in that same color with a white top and white leather seats. 5.0 GT. Great car.

Glad to see another mustang fan out there. I also had a 94, but it was a hard top. I loved the old style 5.0 in it and did a lot of mods to that car. But these new 5.0's are sweet also. But one of the many mustangs that I really wish I had kept was my 03 terminator convertible. I think that engine was about as good as ford has ever done. With a simple drop in K&N filter, and cat back, it picked up 65 rwhp. Nothing responds to mods like a s/c engine.

The 2020 is nice but, my 2012 RTL is like a part of me and I'm not ready to part with it yet. Not to say that I wont add a second Spyder or Ryker someday never know.
I agree with you all. After seeing what they will give me for a 2017 F3 Daytona on a trade and the price of the new RT I will be riding my current bike for a log long long time. I have got the Daytona about like I want. So ride on.

Our 2012 RTL also fits us and seems hard to just trade, I have a 2019 F3L that is nice but so funny that I ride its self isn't as nice. Maybe smoother more power that was really needed but we want to ride together. Now the 2020 RTL looks nice but the wife has remodeled the ride to her liking:
this time next year the price drop might look like a deal. Or as OP said maybe wait to see something growing out more changes.
The only thing that is going to make me even think about trading my 2015 RT LTD is shaft drive. Unless BRP comes out with shaft drive, I am going to keep this a very long time.

Everyone that has ridden one on our Demo Tour has loved it and I am sure that they would all upgrade to one if finances allowed it. But that isn't possible for many of us.

Ann, can you elaborate a bit on the differences in performance, handling and ride between the 2014-2019s and the 2020s?

As much as we might like to jump on the 2020 RTL we'll be keeping our 2012 RTL and 2015 RT-S for the time being. I haven't quite figured out how to buy a pair of 2020 RTLs and keep a roof over our heads without parting with our other toys. Is that possible? My sole disclaimer is that we haven't seen or fondled the new RTL yet. Slow to reach San Antonio, TX apparently.

We will be in the San Antonio area in June with the demo truck, even if you've seen one by then please stop by and take a ride or just say hi!
