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.
Any Changes in the 2015 vs. the 2014?

All the changes seem to be purely cosmetic.

This time of year is always fun...
Last December; I sat on a 2014 RT Limited at the Bike show in NYC, and it had the Magic Button.
:dontknow:Go figure!

George,
I also traded, mine was a 2010 RT S . loved that Spyder, had no problems with it but I got the itch for the 1330 SE 6 speed. So far I am thrilled with it. For me I don't need the eco mode to tell me when to change gears. I used it for about a thousand miles to get used to the changes paying attention to the RPM's. What I did learn is that the eco mode inhibits the throttle body thus performance. So, if your in a hurry don't be in eco mode.
Interested to see how your comparison is with the new spyder and your gold wing trike. By the way, colors are about the only change in the '15's some say the electric frunk button is back but not sure as I haven't seen the 15's yet. I do like the fact that the frunk can be opened anyway with the engine running just by pushing down on the ignition switch and turning it.

Many are asking the same questions George.
For sure, new color/and color combinations, new and improved prices.
Have heard both ways on the "frunk" button. Would like to see it back, but have learned to live without it. Would probably install it if the price is "reasonable."
I don't like or use the "eco mode." A waste of time for me, about one to two mpg improvement in gas mileage--but NOT performance. Don't need no steenkin Eco mode. :roflblack::roflblack:
A bit early in the season to see if there are really any differences on the 2015's handling compared to the 2014's. I think one person has posted they got the 2015 in red so far.

Curious to know exactly how they differ spec-wise if the price of the 2015 is indeed higher. I'm in the market for a basic RT but not going 2015 if the 2014 is cheaper for the same package...
If you can find a 2014 you like, the price will be less on both MSRP and you may find a couple thousand off or so on the 2014 (close out pricing).
If you want the 2014 you should be shopping with checkbook in hand now.

The changes for 2015 appear to be pretty minimal...Curious to know exactly how they differ spec-wise if the price of the 2015 is indeed higher. I'm in the market for a basic RT but not going 2015 if the 2014 is cheaper for the same package...
This bike got the major updates last year, so we all pretty much figured, that 2015 would hold no ground-shaking surprises...

Not a complete answer on the frunk button, but....
I recently got a catalog on Spyder accessories from Can-Am (along with my lapel pin). and a to-be-installed frunk button is an option that can be purchased (I think it was fairly reasonable, like $100). At any rate, it listed "Standard on 2015", so I've been expecting to see it.

:shocked: Does this mean that we'll have to listen to those :cus: 1880 owners, crowing about how great the new engine is? :gaah:
I'll be REALLY ticked-off if it gets 50 mpg... :shocked:
Say it ain't so, Joe...
