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.
Anyone seen the 2021 Sea To Sky yet?

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." That's what makes us individuals.
I swore when I picked up my 2018 asphalt gray RTL that it would be my last motorcycle. Fast forward to Nov. 2020..... I saw a Petrol Blue 2020 RTL and fell in love all over again. Good bye Gracie, hello Blue Belle. Yup, now this is my last motorcycle........... maybe. :thumbup:
I watched the video and noticed Shawn said the S2S was the only Spyder to come from the factory with a harmonic vibration eliminator device (I think he called it an idler arm). That's news to me. I had no idea. That's worth a few hundred bucks assuming someone would pay a shop to install one (as I did). I still don't like the color. To each, their own, I guess. I like the wheels if they came in black. I'm pretty sure that's a Comfort seat with some fancy stitching.
So, let's go through this again.
1) Stock harmonic vibration eliminator device (+$300 incl labor)
2) Comfort seat (+$900 which can be installed by a drunk 10 year old)
3) Painted top case lid (+$300 incl labor)
4) Comes with rear cover (+$150)
5) Cool wheels (+$600...cost of most aftermarket wheels)
6) Extra badging (+$0)
7) Vomit colored paint (+$0)
We're up to $2250 in add'l "stuff" on the S2S. The S2S is about $2500 more than a Limited. I guess my opinion has slightly changed. I still can't stand the paint color and wouldn't buy one just because of that but if you were to add a harmonic vibration eliminator device, Comfort seat and rear cover, add aftermarket wheels and have the top case lid painted to match (which it should be on the Limiteds), you'd come up with almost the same price. I guess the price isn't as bad as I originally thought.
Now, if they would do all that to a Limited (including the same wheels in black), I'd seriously consider one.

I'm also waiting on my Marsala Red. Sigh
I have seen it in person at our local dealership and it doesn't look that bad in person, that is my opinion. Also, they seem to be selling fast around here in Phoenix, this particular one was sold shortly after it hit the showroom floor.

Adjustable handle bars and extra lighting up front.

RE: Last motorcycle. I bought my last motorcycle (2019 F3L) in December of 2019. Then I bought my last motorcycle again in Jan of 2021 (2020 F3L). We will have to see how this goes. :roflblack: Guess the words last and never have a slightly different meaning. :bowdown:
I am safe though for 2021. S2S is nice, but I am not turned on by the color. I already had that in a Suburu Forester (Sage Green).

I thought the adjustable handle bars {riser) was an optional accessory not stock???

I do believe that adjustable bars are optional, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Watch the video again at 4:11
Unfortunately, it's NOT standard on the S2S. It's an accessory you can add to any 2020+ RT (base, Limited or S2S). It's at 4:07 in the video.

I can confirm that it is not standard. I just went out to the garage and took a look at mine, plain stock non-adjustable handlebars.
