Whos NOT upgrading to 2014 ?

Keeping my 2013 RT-S

Since we have the other side reporting in I thought the obverse view should be heard. While I like a lot of what they did to the 2014 I will continue with my 2013 at least till 2015. I want to see what BRP does with both years and am hoping values recover from the current amount mine is worth. Other than a laser alignment, I have no major issues (yet) to deal with.

Well, since I just bought my 2013 two months ago...I will not be upgrading anytime soon.

Rd_runner

Yeah. Bought my 2013 after the 14s were out so no. But it also doesn't help that the 2014 RS-S is the same vehicle I have now.

keeping mine

i have a 2013 RT. Ltd. i haven't had any problems with mine. i've been riding in 80 plus temp. here in Ft. Lauderdale. I love mine had it almost a year and have 4,000 miles. Will have the software update this Wednesday.

No, not upgrading. Don't see any reason to at this point.

Trying to be content.

It is very easy for us to want the newest, biggest and best of things be it a car,boat, camper, motorcycle or just about anything you could name. I guess it is in our nature to want the latest and greatest. I am no different. I am at the point of my life where I think about retirement almost everyday, finances and savings Etc. Do I want to commit to another 25 to 30 thousand of debt? I could pull the money perhaps from a retirement account, savings or something, but is this something that I really want to do? This is something I am undecided about especially, as I said earlier in this thread, my 2010 runs great and is set up perfect with zero issues. I love the way it handles and runs. Oh well, I have committed myself to be content and not jump the gun for at least another year. I'm happy for all of you that have or have ordered the new '14 1330. Keep the reports coming. I really believe BRP is on the right track and can't wait for what the future holds for the Spyders.

Happy

​I'm very happy with my '13 ST-S. I've put a lot of money in it for Farkles and have it just the way I want it. I usually keep a new car 5 or 6 years, why not my Spyder?

I've test driven a 2014 RT, and frankly preferred my 2010. Probably because I had it fully dialed in for me. I really didn't find the performance worth the huge up-charge either, but I expect the aftermarket world will find a way to really open the 1330 up, later this year, so that might change.

Bottom line is that I MIGHT consider a 2014 in early 2015, after a year of watching... probably not, though. The lack of a decent dealer closer than 60 miles away is a deal killer for me. Regardless of how terrific they are. Might as well deal with Len in MO.... and a shaft drive WOULD be a huge improvement, especially in our chip seal world.....

Keeping mine for now

I'm looking forward to owning a new rt se6 but am plenty happy with my 2013 RT. No major issues, all recalls done and handling great maybe 2015 maybe not.

Staying with our 2012

Have enjoyed it after necessary modifications. Will see how BRP handles new models and new complaints.

She's a keeper

Love my 2011 rt-s have it tuned in and farkled nicely. Also no Brite candy apple red color.:doorag:

Upgrading

NOPE!!! Wife is happy with the 2011 RT-S & I'm happy with the 2012! Hope to see everyone @ Spyderfest!! :doorag:

 

[Vrooom]

13, good yr for me

Happy as a lark in a park on my '13 and for 2/3 rd the price of a '14 rt. So, some cash in the pocket for touring.

I like how the horse in the background of your photo is bowing down in "we're not worthy' fashion....

I'm good with my 2013 RT LTD

No reason to upgrade! I've been happy with my RT so far and haven't had any real heat issues or other problems. I've added at least $1000 in farkles as well, most of them being LED lighting. I plan to do more next spring. Maybe in a few years I'd be willing to upgrade, but not at present. I want to see how well BRP did with the 2014's before I get caught up in all the hype.

 

[xinu]

I will when I win the lottery. The stars will be properly aligned in the fall of this year.

Staying Put

Will be keeping the 2013 RT-S at least a couple of years. Want to get use out of it rather than taking a $$$ hit.

 

[spydermyke990]

Keeping mine, haven't had any problems at all yet, had the master brake cylinder heat recall done last fall, looking forward to another season, not really planning on getting more toys or major farkles, more or less recovering from a couple of fraudulent companies I worked for previously before returning to my present employer after they kept begging for me to come back. I might get myself one of those Gopro hero 3 black helmet mount HD cameras the dealership had on display(got a gift certificate this past Xmas so it'll be same price as what Walmart wanted for a cheaper Gopro)thinking of filming a few rides and putting them up on YouTube.

 

[OldCowboy]

I won't be upgrading. I love my 2013, don't have any significant heat problems and can't see spending $5-7K for something that ain't broke.

 

[jaherbst]

Not suffering with 2014 envy. I like my 2013 and see no need for the 6th gear or the bigger engine. Just another feeding frenzy every time a new model comes out. I think it is called marketing. Been through it so many times with cars, M/C and boats.

See Post #62

I said I wasn't, but I did! Took a test ryde on a 14 RT-S yesterday and left my dealer's shop the proud owner of a 2014 Pearl White RT-L. The test ryde convinced me that the triple w/ 6 speed tranny is an awesome combo and the deal was right so I went for it! Can't wait to pick it up next week and ryde, ryde, ryde.

How many others said "not me" in this thread and then did?
