• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

2020 Spyder Orders

Within a 150 mile radius of my area, their are 75'sh brand new 2019 RT-L and FS-L models available in the $19,500 -$20,700 price range. The new 2020's are nice, but are they $7-8K nicer ?


:agree: x 2 My thoughts exactly. And...it turns out that I am liking the F3L a bit more than the RT-S. I have now passed the 2014 RT on to Linda. Her bike went to the dealer as a trade. She is also pleased with the "upgrade."
 
I'm anticipating my 2020 RTL delivered in mid-Feb. It's the dark Anthracite Grey. Evidently the last color built.
At least they should have the bugs worked out of the production lines by then.
Could I wait and buy it less expensive in October as a 2020 holdover ?
Probably, but then I won't have the pleasure of riding it all that time.

Just my opinion, I could be wrong. Someone here will surely let me know if I am.

****QUICK UPDATE**** Looks like a build date of February, delivery in March. It will be a nice retirement present for myself.

Giant, The main incentive, if not trading, appears to be an extra (1) year warranty which I discreetly as possible had to remind the dealer, plus the aforementioned pleasures of use during riding season. I had a couple trades to rid myself of and was able to get what I hoped for them, so that was a big motivation.
 
I'm in the market for a 2020 RT Limited, and thi is a good thread to ask a question I have: What is the incentive to pre-order? I have received price quotes with and without my BMW bike trade from a couple dealers, and to be honest, the pricing has not been impressive to me. Other than getting an additional year of BRP warranty, why pre-order now? I'm thinking it makes more sense to wait until the bikes hit the dealers so at least I could get a test ride on the new 2020 before ordering. I'm guessing the dealer pricing later this year will be the same, or maybe even better, than what they are offering me now.

What does everyone think about the pros and cons of pre-ordering the 2020 RT Limited?

My offer is the additional 1 year warranty PLUS $1000 BRP rebate if ordered by January 31st.
 
If you preorder before Feb. 1st, you get an extra years warranty, talk to your dealer

The extra $1,000 is if you trade in an older Spyder

Just got this email yesterday on the incentive of the trade in of an extra $1000.00

But just how "iffy" is your trade-in value? Wonder if the deal will require you to turn over your trade-in when you order, just like Bob Denman had to turn in his 2014 RT when he ordered the 2018 Anniversary Edition.

I don't need to turn in my 2014 RTS until the day I pick up my 2020 RT Limited.
Hopefully in mid February.

Once I consummated my deal on the F3, I voluntarily stopped riding the trade in. For me it was a Murphy's Law thing. Linda drove the 2014 and I did my Vulcan for three weeks.
 
Did any of you order with the passenger armrests? I'm still seeing the "Build Your Bike" issue of adding other extras automatically when all I want to add is passenger armrests. Any info would be appreciated.

I have ordered the arm rests. They are back ordered with delivery sometime in March. The online build tool is broken and does not reflect the right configuration.
