• 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.

Kelly Blue Book Value on RT SE5 Limted

We saw the same thing when the 2007 Harley touring bikes came out with the 96 cu in engine and 6 speed tranny. The value of the 2006 tourers dropped considerably as everyone wanted the bigger engine and 6 speed. After a couple of years, things settled down and the difference in values was much less.

While I wouldn't mind having a 2014, I don't want it bad enough to take a $10,000 bath.
 
Dismal trade in cvalue

I was thinking of trading my 2013 Spyder RT Limited in on a 2014 RT. When I looked in the Kelly Blue Book for trade it states $18,200 and $22,730 to sell myself. I originally paid $28,500 for the bike back during April 2013. These bikes decrease so fast that I'm thinking it's best to wait on the 2014 til the 2015 comes out. A $10K drop in value less than a year is crazy.

I bought an Rt Limited 30 DAYS AGO and told the dealer I wanted to trade it in on a Gold Wing - 22000 trade in!!!!! Don't buy a CAN AM if you ever plan on selling or trading or using.
 
It sounds like you needed to think your Spyder purchase through a little more if you're ready to trade it in after 30 days. It's like anything else, buy a new $50k truck and try trading it after a month and let me know how you make out.
 
I think there is such a big difference between the newer 1330 motor and transmission, I do not believe the used prices will be close. I feel the only way you will ever trade up and not take a huge loss is find a used 2014 or newer from a private seller at a low discount price. Then sell yours but my opinion is those blue book prices are way high on a 2013.
Or be happy with what you have for several more years to cut the huge loss down to more reasonable loss. In several years chances of finding a discounted used 2014 will be greater.
Good Luck
I bought a Ford Maveric new feel your pain.
