Might be time to upgrade

[fireplug98]

No heat, smoother shifting, no need to worry about trailer mode, longer range/better mileage, low maintenance cost due to longer maintenance schedule, better brakes and a more comfortable stock seat.. ride it , you will buy it...

I rode a 14 the other day. The new brakes are amazing !! Night & day over previous years.
Its a little thing but I love the new oil dip stick placement !!:yes:

Just try one out first...


...but leave your wallet at home! :shocked:

Yes; they ARE that good! :2thumbs: nojoke

The larger, torquier engine
the six speed transmission WUTH the new hydraulic lock-up system
the new cooling system with radiators mounted up front, and fans that move the air forward, at low speeds
The new 1200 watt alternator blows the old 650 watt magneto out of the water!
A more comfortable seat
Better speakers in the sound system

I didn't know the speakers were upgraded. Thats great !!!!

Me either! I just thought the motor was much more smoother & more quiet running. That's why I could here the radio a lot better.:thumbup:

I have a 2012 RT Limited. I love it. Drives great. I've never had any problems with it. But I see so many people loving the 2014. I know it has a larger engine. What other perks are there to owning one? Can you all tell me why you like it and what's different from the older models?

Bigger tires, better brakes, 6 speed instead of 5 speed, bigger engine, lower rpm's when riding, better gas mileage, further on a tank, more comfortable seat, factory backrest available, no heat issues, longer time between maintenance, I could go on but i think you get the picture.

This is just the kind of information I was looking for. Sounds like its one heck of a machine. I should be in Springfield Mo next month for Lamont's BBQ. Maybe I'll get a chance to ride one up at Pitbull Powersports. Thank you to everyone who commented and shared. Now it's time to convince the wife!!

I like it that there are folks that gather information, carefully weigh the evidence, discuss with mate.

Me....this morning I woke up and thought 'I'd like to check the 2014 out'. 'honey I'll popping over to Brewer's for a little bit'. Three hours later I rode back on a different spyder than I rode out on. Wife said 'well, when you were gone more than an hour I figured a new bike was coming home'.....

I wanted to thank everyone for there input. Got my new 2014 a few weeks ago. It's a RT-S in cognac. It is all you said it would be. I got it from Pitbull and it's such a nice ride. I've only put around 200 miles on it but I'll be adding many more. Again thanks for all the info.
