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.
Dealer has offered me a deal to upgrade - To buy or not??

What does that mean?

I'd say he's looking to trade up. But dealerships are pretty much the same world wide. They are masters at getting you coming and going, and making you feel good about it at the same time. As long as you know this going in, well, it's your choice.

That is not too much of a loss on what you paid for the 2023 in 3 years. So you give him your trade in, that is really not even broken in at 12.6K miles, and £7K for a new one. So are we saying the new one is £4K more than you paid for the 2023?

I guess you would have to decide what features the 2026 RTL has that your 2023 currently does not have. I guess Apple CarPlay would be a new feature, but is it worth £7000? Other than that, it's the same engine and transmission, probably the same body style. And 12,600 miles on your current Spyder is almost like brand new.

Only almost & running out of warranty
GOOD ONE Ron!!
Only your personal finance situation and the need for the few upgrades offered on the new model can decide that question. Personally, I would just buy an extended warranty if that's what you're looking at in a new one, and then take a nice riding vacation with the money saved. Good Luck with your decision.
I'm not much for gadgets anyway, but to me the big display ain't all that. I do like twisting the throttle forward to clear the safety message. If you like the bike you have keep it and buy the B.E.S.T extended warranty. But if something really grabs you about the new one, and you're happy with the out the door cost, do whatever puts the biggest smile on your face. As somebody said, we only go around once.

Losing £3,000 on a unit that's about four years old is a pretty good trade in deal. You paid £29,000 back then and it's going to cost you £33,000 for a 2026 model today, I'd say the dealer is making a fair deal at UK prices with UK sales tax rates.
I traded my 2021 RT LTD earlier this year for a 2026 S2S and I lost a lot more than £3,000 I can assure you.
Did I think the upgrade was worth it? Well my wife said yes, so I suppose it was.
The display is much better and most of the controls are better thought out in my opinion.
