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.

Use NADA or KBB as a guide.
The "magic" price for spyders is somewhere between wholesale and private party sale. Retail--is a joke, it is wholesale plus up to $4K.
Accessories count for nothing. They are worth 50% to zero depending on what they are. I sold two F3L's with over a $1000 in accessories...they were not even considered in my pricing. Low mileage a bonus...add something. High mileage...subtract something.
Each market has its own quirks. See what others are asking for similar.
If you run an ad, 500 looks and no "bites" probably mean your asking price is to high.
Good luck with your sale. :bowdown:

Can't speak for California but in Indianapolis - as a guy who works on them as a hobby - I checked everything in the area out - and have my 2015 with 75k miles, stage 2 flash, shield, bags, speakers, etc. for $9k. I've turned down a couple offers of $7k - not that desperate to sell it.

Spyders seem to be hard to sell IMO although I have purchased 3 used - one from eBay (2016 F3L), one from here (2014 RTS) and one from FB Marketplace (2020 RTL).
I tried to sell my 2016 F3L with 22k miles last year for as low as $14k and ended up selling it to a local dealer in Indy for much less than I saw many listed for. The dealer wasn't able to sell it and I recently saw it on FB Marketplace - https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1427940971484067/ for $12k at another powersports dealer in KY. SL Jdr00ejr said the dealer I sold it to said they were selling it at auction as they had it for sale for months. It can be frustrating to say the least and I wasn't willing to try to sell it on my own for more than 3 months.
Good luck to you on getting yours sold.

Good luck with the sale. My experience, trying to sell a 1980 Moto Guzzi I bought new that now has 11K miles on it and an '07 FatBoy with 71K, is awful. Darn near can't give them away with ads getting zero response.
To have 92K in a Spyder near "floored" me. I just bought a new 2022 F3-S for just less than $15K. Gratifying to read you have that kind of massive mileage. Guessing many, if not most buyers of such a machine will balk at that mileage. Compared to a Harley, where repairs are simple and done everywhere, the Spyder has a reputation to me as being near unrepairable. I am close to the end of my riding time anyhow so that was not a factor for me. Youngsters looking for something inexpensive to ride would also be looking for something easy and inexpensive to repair.
Would think your pricing and sale expectations would take things like this into consideration.
