Help Needed for potential new spyder owner!

[RD2WK]

I am looking to buy a new 2013 Spyder RS while I can still get a $4000 rebate.
I took test rides on both the RS SE and the SM 2 years ago but was not ready to give up my BMW R1100RS, now with my bad knees and the rebate the RS is really calling to me.
However I read the Spyder list and it sounds like there are some real problems with the 2013, what should I do?
Should I buy a 2013, is the 2014 much better or do they both have problems?
I really would like to know so I can make a decision before the end of July!

:welcome: As far as the RS line-up goes; they got some new bodywork with airscoops for 2014...
That is about the biggest change...
I DO think that some folks have even convinced BRP to send them the new panels for free, in order to stave off potential heat issues.
You're under a REAL tight timeline now...

If you've got bad knees you might want to think really hard about getting the RT instead. Oh, any year RT but the 2013 that is.

Given a choice, rebate or not, I would choose a 2014. Less problems and if you go RT--wow--that's a great machine.
