• 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.

What do you think?Buy it?

Looks like a fair deal to me. With low mileage like that, make sure it had the initial service done. Nine grand is a long way from 25 grand.....leaves you lots to play with.
 
RS MODEL

The new RS models are v twin. It may be a long while before a 1330 is offered. The 201w is a very good bike, also very fast.
 
That is the Spyder I thought I was going to buy, and actually the one I thought I wanted, (not that exact one, but similar), but when we got to the dealership they had the 2015 RT Limited on sale and because my wife really liked it, we bought it. Looking back on things, this couldn't have worked out any better. I don't know if the 1330 motor has more performance, but I have to say the 1330 in th RT Limited is a much better all around machine for two people. If you can afford it, go for one with the 1330 motor.

I agree with David. While the price looks good you're going to have more maintenance, even if you DIY. I don't know anything about the juice box system but I don't prefer louder exhaust than the stock system. The 1330 is a sweet motor and you don't have to wind the :cus: out of it to keep the clutch locked up. You'll love the six-speed trans too. You'll get better fuel mileage and won't use oil like the V-Twin. My old bones prefer the riding position of the RT.

Was informed of the differences between the V-twin vs the 1330 on the maintenance side,But I plan on doing my own maintenance,I think this is a really good buy for such low miles,What do you think?
Would you still hold off for a 1330 ace?

I have owned can am's with both motors. The 1330 is my best yet. There is no comparison. If you plan on some serious riding I would definately go with the 1330 and the 6 speed trans.
 
Looks like a great deal and it's a good intro to the spyder world. Oil changes are not hard on a spyder. Most people with the 1330 do not go 9,300 miles between oil changes anyway so 4,600 isn't bad. Save up more money or ride now? Let's ride!

I suppose the real question is do you want a touring spyder or a sport version? consider what fits in your budget. Make that decision then go shopping. For me the RT is the best fit for the riding i and my wife enjoy. If I were younger I'd be on an RS or perhaps an F3 cruiser style. (the F3 has the 1330).
 
I would never never ever ever purchase a 998cc twin. I'm loving my 2014 RT after being deeply screwed and hating the 2010 RT I bought first that sits in a junkyard with a blown engine through no fault of my own.

I so wish I had come here and asked and given this simple advice

never never ever unless a 1338
 
You don't say much about what you are going to do with the Spyder. Are you and a significant other going to ride together? Do you want to do just day trips around the area?Are you thinking about some (or a lot) of travel and covering some distance? Just commuting? The usage will make a big difference in which Spyder will work best for you. And not to pry but how are your finances? If you don't need or want the full fledged tourer or the Hot Rod F3 everything else has the VTwin motor anyway so get the best price you can. Even used the 1330 bikes are $18,000 to $22,000.
So tell us a little more about you what you have been riding, and what you want to do. The :spyder2: you're looking at looks really nice and is a good price but anything else, we don't know enough to advise.
 
Choices choices. ..

Great deal no doubt. I love the v-twin so you know my answer...:roflblack: but my standard reply is test ryde them both and then decide. There are two sides and both pull their way. Happy hunting...:dontknow:

:agree::agree::agree:...with Jay, and David...and something to consider is ....unless you plan to keep this Spyder forever ....you will be selling it........How much will you get in 2 or 3 years......Also I think BRP is going to stop PUTTING the V-twin in the Spyders, that's going to lower re-sale by a hugh amount..............And someone compared $9,000 vs. $ 25,000 ---- even if you are going for the RT with a 1330 engine , I can buy a 2015 for about $21,000 today.....If you want Sporty.....I could get you a 2015 F-3 for $ 17,500 with a Semi-auto trans.............Look here IMotorsports ....they have an AD on the Home page .....................Mike :thumbup:
 
A bit of a dilemma for sure. A very good price if the ad is legit. Do check the service record. Any dealer can input the VIN and come up with the information that will help you decide.

Remember--RS vs. RT is like crotch rocket compared to luxury touring. Depending on your taste, you may or may not like the ride.

Big difference between the 998 v twin and the 1330 triple (available only in 2014 RT and 2015/16 RT and F3.

Suggest test riding one of each 998/1330 to see if the difference is enough to make you think twice.

Let us know what you do. Happy shopping. :yes:
 
Great point Mike, thanks for jumping in here. I probably shouldn't say this, it's kind of embarrassing, at least to me. But, the end of October I got my RT Limited with all the bells and whistles, for $23,000.00 because the 2016's were coming out soon and the dealership had all of the 2014's left highly discounted. So there are deals out there.
