I am looking at the Spyders, trying to decide if I want to go ahead and get one or wait until the 2014's come out....First question I have is, how much gas milage do the 2013's vs. 2014's get? Then I am trying to decide if I want the RT or not. Any comments or suggestions???

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.

If it were me, I would buy the 2014. The 2013's have had heat issues. The 2014 RT has a lot of new features and a new drivetrain (1330 ACE triple, and a 6 speed gearbox). I am more concerned about the 2013's proven issues than the 2014's potential issues. If you plan on doing a lot of long distance travel, the RT and the ST are the better models to own, IMHO.

Based on what I've read on this forum, I would stay away from the 13's...I realize not everyone has ALL the issues, but they seem fairly common.
I have a 2012 RT A&C and have had no issues....
Price might be a determining factor. IF there are any 2012 models left, you could save about 10K over the price of a 2014....Then there's always the pre-owned route....

Since you live in central Texas, my recommendation would be a 2014 RT. It has more power, better mileage, longer range, and the heat issues seem to have been solved. If you want something sportier, I'd recommend the 2014 RS or ST. They are supposed to have improved under-tupperware cooling over the previous models.
One thing to remember is the dealer is critical to your :f_spider: experience. Central Texas Powersports in Georgetown TX has received good reports from Spyderlovers members.

The 2014 does have a good list of improvements. Regarding heat issues, only time will tell.
They move the radiators, so the heat will not be evacuated directly on the rider's feet.
Nothing right now says that the engine heat will stop melting the components under the tupperware.
