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.

CenTex has been very helpful to me ...I bought mine used from an individual but they were very helpful when I transferred the warranty... no cervices done there by me but they did services for prior owner ... seems easy to deal with

stay away from cowtown power sports unless you like giving your money away they will rape you plus they arent very customer friendly either,they wont even let you watch the mech work on your bike they close the doors so you cant see what there doing i'm always curious as to what there doing and like to see what there doing in case i need to do something like it but i'm not to mech inclined and chances of me doing any mech work are slim to none but i'm always curious..i purchsed my spyder at north texas yamaha in lewisville they will give you a good buy they have a good set-up never had a problem other then to get them to listen to me when i find out something they have no clue about thanks to this website.in my opinion they should all have an open ear when we walk in to there store for a purchase or service expescially when you got printed documented proof. try to help make there job just a tad easier to fix the problem and they want no part of it,they think were are the dummies what do we know thinking menatality. then they say well we will have to look into the books or website they use and tell ya well need a few weeks before we can fix it and yet you have the solution right in your hands,waste my time and money going to them.now i can tell you for a fact there is a dealership in granbury that is very good and will listen to you and they will even bend over and go look up the solution just to double check to make sure. so depending on how far you want to travel and if you or you want the dealer to do service i would go to either one. but i really would choose granbury motor sports even though they are farther its all about service and customer service/relations. good luck and let us know what you decide.

I bought my RT Limited from Woods Cycle Country in New Braunfels from Jake. (Woods Cycle Country is a family owned business that is not affiliated with the Woods dealership in Austin) Jake treated me fairly and I have no complaints. I had my 600 mile service done there too with no problems. Their 600 mile service was more expensive than what a lot of others on the forums have been posting for the same service, but I think the dealership is making sure all of the service is performed instead of just changing the oil.
When I was shopping for the RT, I emailed Woods Cycle Country, South Texas Suzuki, Kent, and one in Austin, but only Woods Cycle Country responded back.
I hear South Texas Suzuki is good too, but their place is pretty small. It looked like they had 2 mechanics on staff and only one of them did spyders. They had one RT and an RSS on the floor to look at. They would probably treat you right, but I don't know. I did pay them a visit and the staff was very friendly. When I visited them, I wasn't ready to commit to a purchase yet, but I kept them in mind until they didn't respond to my email. I was really hoping to deal with them because they are the closest dealer to my house, but it didn't work out that way.
I considered Kent, but I changed my mind after their salesman tried to "bs" me during the sale negotiation. He was friendly and appeared helpful, but I didn't like some of the information that I was getting back from him. I called their service department to ask a question when I was still shopping for my RT and the service tech told me he was too busy to answer my question and would have to call me back. I gave him my number, but he never returned my call. Between the service tech and the salesman, I was about to cross them off my shopping list. When I was at Woods Cycle Country looking at the RT, I ran into a Gold Wing owner that bought his previous 3 bikes from Kent and from whoever owned the store prior to Kent. He said Kent isn't as good now that it is under new ownership, so he traded his Gold Wing in for an RT at Woods Cycle Country while I was there instead of buying it from Kent. After talking to the Gold Wing owner, now an RT owner, I crossed Kent off my list of potential dealers.
I don't know anything about the other dealers in Austin or elsewhere. Good Luck with your purchase.
