Thinking of doing something crazy
I have a 2011 Pure Magnesium Metallic RT-S SE5. Velocity has a Lave Bronze 2013 RT Limited avail. I fell in love with the Lave Bronze when I first saw it. My spyder is paid for. The payments would be $230.00-$250.00 a month for 7 years (). Should I pull the trigger on Monday or just be happy with an already paid for bike? I need cooler heads to either talk me out of it or hot heads to say H yeah, go for it!!! HELP!!!!!
2014 RT Limited SE-6 in Black Currant. Mods so far: Rivco Trunk Mounted Double Flag Holder Kit, Diamond R Drivers Tour Mug, Tric Led Drink Holder, BRP Hitch, Mini Trailer USA Nomad Trailer. RonBar and links, Spyclops I & II, Lighted Bump Skid, LED head and fog lights. Foam hand grips. A arm lights, both upper and lower

You know it's your choice. My vote.......dance with the one you know!
Edit:
Those payments would buy a 100 gallons of paint. Think about it?

choices, choices..!!
you know it's up to you in the end. Easy to pick when it's not your money though you seem to be okay with those payments. (seems high..could do better on a credit card) now will this be an choice by vote..?? Yours is paid for, still on the new side, I hear no complaints..have to agree with jerbear on this one..may the vote begin...

Crazy
If you love your current Spyder and have no major issues with it, keep it and have it painted Lava Bronze. Beats 7 years of payments.

Paint it!
Paint it what ever color you would like. Think outside of the box with color - check out the 2013 colors - plus other brand bikes/auto colors.
Yep...paint.
Did own: 2008, Red, SE5 - and 2010, Black, RT-S Premiere Edition Number 670
Now Own: 2014 Black RT-S SE6

I dont think you would be any happier with a new spyder if mine was paid off and i wanted to spend i would do a custom wrap or a new paint job then u could fall in love with your spyder all over again.

Color doesn't seem like a very valid reason to trade a good vehicle (or buy a new one in the first place). I'll freely admit that it can be an attraction, and that it can easily seal a deal, but it shouldn't be the primary consideration (or the only one), in my opinion. The several thousands of dollars in difference will pay for a nice paintjob...or a bunch of vinyl wrap graphics. JMHO

Keep the one you have. Not sure how long your warranty is for, but the cash might come in handy later.....Just sayin...

Think about it this way; when was the last time you saw a cash-lined coffin?
You are so right Bob! Sounds like You have been listening to Jimmy Buffet.

Save he cash every month and pay for any repairs that may come along. I bet the savings pile will be much higher than the "spent on repairs" pile. Besides, with a paid off machine, you can repair,service and farkle it without having to worry about what impact it may have on the warranty.

DO THE MATH!!!!!!!!! They want your 2011 and between $22,000-$24,000. Are you that unhappy with your current ride, or so in love with the Lava Brown Limited???????????? Like people say, it's your choice how you want to spend your money. Just go into it with eyes wide open. Let us know what you decide.
Good Luck
Mike
