    Default im just sayin

    I was almost pulled into trading my 13 rts in. being caught in the fever of having something new and more powerful I was about to give away 17000 dollars just when I had all the bugs corrected. I know there are a lot of first time riders and people that really don't know what they have but one day take a nice long twisty ride down shift a lot, enjoy your trips to fuel, and listen to 4th gear talk. you might find a new appreciation for what you really have. good luck. love my 13. deer slayer

    I'll keep riding my 2013 until one of us wears out . . . I hope it is the Spyder that wears out before I do!

    I am keeping my 2014RTS-SE6 cognac, because the extra power, and the 1330 ACE engine, it is has a smooth ride, and a quite engine, 6th speed, etc. I am looking forward to retirement someday. Deanna

    Very hard decisions some times. I know, I went back and forth a few times when it came to keeping the 2010 or trading for the 2014.

    I have a 2013 RT-s I keep in Az. for the winter months and a 2014 RT-s I have in Washington for May to November. Perfect combination for me because I do my long distance cruising in the summer and the 2014 is better for that with the quieter motor, lower RPMs, better gas mileage and reduced rider heat. The 2013 in Az. is perfect because I'm riding more 100-300 mile trips and the heat from the bike is very tolerable in the winter months down here. I also think the acceleration is better on the 2013 and you need that to get up to freeway speed down here. Everyone is doing 75-80 on the interstate.

    I am going to miss the bark of the 998 motor,the power that is made when riding in the cooler temps. I am looking forward to the new riding position ,better fuel mileage and a new 2015 RT limited spyder.
    New farkles and putting on some farkles from my older traded in spyder RT.

    2015 is going to be a great riding season for me.

    No doubt; the 1330s are awesome, but there's nothing wrong with the 998s either!
