Is this a good price?

You should take a serious look at that 2014 for sale with 600 miles on it

e
Speaking just on the subject of a preowned 2014 and newer vs. a new 2018, here is our experience... After riding both a 2018 RT-L Dark and a 2014 RT-S and reading a lot I have to agree with LeftCoast. Notice he said serious look. We bought a 2014 that the odometer just turned 8,000 miles. This is my personal experience and to note...I get dealer to dealer pricing on new or pre-owned.

If you would rather go the new route and with your local dealer (for various reasons) then by all means do, but looks like there is plenty of good advice in this thread.

Cheers!

yeah, if you don't mind waiting for EVER for everything to boot up so you can actually start it. not kidding

The way to avoid the slow computer issue is: #1.- turn the key to the ON position #2.- suit up … #3.- start your Spyder …………..end of slow to drive issue …..jmho …. Mike :thumbup:

While the wait is not immediate with instant gratification, it certainly is a far cry from forever. Never actually timed the delay while booting up, but should.

To the original post, it seems each model year of RT series has a quirk. Considering just the 1330 types, early versions had some DESS issues, later years have seen pulley wear issues, newest versions have had complaints about the electronics. Honestly, buy something nice that fits your budget and enjoy. Even if you wait for the computer to boot up.

Awesome, beautiful bike you will love it.

As for computer boot up I’m going to say about 7 secs but it does seem like watching water waiting for it to boil. I do exactly what Blueknight said, insert key and turn it then go spend the next minut trying to see over my belly to put my boots on!
