Would like feedback on the good, bad and ugly of a 2012 RT-S SE5. Found a new one at a local dealership and the asking price is 23K and some change. Thanks for chiming in and providing some feedback...

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.

Considered the best of the best. $23K seems a bit high for a now two year old model--new or not.

GREAT Spyder!! (I should know)
I own the 2012 RTS-SE5. Truly, BRP hit this one out of the park. All the concerns were addressed and they ended up with the BEST DAMN Can Am Roadster on the planet. So I'm a little partial! And no offense to ryders of those other fine Spyders. Now, as far as the asking price. I have an issue with that. If that is his/her final "out-the-door" price, challenge them to give you a better offer. I'm quite sure they can do a lot better than that. The 2012 RT was and still is a premium joy to ryde. You will be more than impressed with your purchase. A million miles of smiles await you.
:yes:

Bought our 2012 Limited Nov of 2012 as a demo with 1000 miles for $26,000. They should be able to do a little better.

Like the others said I think they are asking too much for a 2012.

Like everyone else said, the 2012 is a fine year. With the 14's out and the fact that they have the bigger motor and lots of other changes, I think I would work on them a little bit. If you aren't in a hurry tell them to call you when they want to sell it for whatever you want to pay, then walk away. I would think with the 14's out, the people that want to buy a new '12 are going to be few and far between. The '14 RTS starts at 26K and some change I thought. I would tell them 19 or 20 and let them think about it for a week or so. The worst they can say is no.

I bought my 2012 RT-S in May, 2013 for $25,100 including tax and license.
It had 8,100 miles on it this morning. It has 8,250 miles on it now. The only problem I've had with it is that it seems to get dirty and so I have to wax it every week.

2012 is a solid spyder
I had a 2012 RT L and rode it 7,650 miles in 2013 TROUBLE FREE. As far as I know, it's a great year for the Spyder RT. Never stalled or left me stranded - enuf said. LOL
Traded it in for the 2014 RT L in order to upgrade for longer touring trips with the new 1330 ACE engine and upgraded transmission. If the 2014 would have not had the engine change, would have been perfectly happy to keep my 2012 RT L.
Good luck with your purchase. :thumbup: I would do some checking on selling prices in your area to get a perspective...your price you quoted seems high.

I have the same model and have about 14K miles on it so far. I have had trouble with a brake sensor and a wheel speed sensor. They were replaced under warranty. I do love this machine. The comfort level is great, the storage is too. I can ride 500 miles a day without pain. I do recommend it to everyone.

I love my 2012 RT-S, SE5. Loads of fun and has left a beautiful custom HD Ultra riderless since purchasing brand new in November 2012 for under $22,000. PM me and I'll scan and send you my invoice.

I have 10,000 trouble free miles on my 2012 RTS-SE5. Oil changes, a rear tire , and gas is all I have in it for expenses. I bought mine new at the end of the season for a little less than $19,800.
