I've put 24,000 miles on my '21 RT and it is running as well as it did brand new, but it lacks some of the newer features. I'm getting old and lately been thinking that I should splurge on what I want since I may not have many more years for riding. But I wonder if the newer Spyders are different or better enough than what I have to justify spending a likely $15-20,000 for essentially the same bike. Any thoughts?

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.
Wondering about replacing my '21 Spyder with a '26 (or '27)

I did exactly that. I traded my 2021 RT LTD for a new 2026 Sea to Sky.
The seat, tires, display console, CarPlay addition, and lots of other small factors (like being able to do your own firmware updates) made all the difference to me. My wife likes the seat 10x better.
Was it worth the money? Well that's a good question. Since I owned my 2021 outright and was fortunate enough to be able to pay cash for the 2026, I think it was. I too am getting older and it was worth it to me for the new bike with warranty (I bought 5 years additional warranty) as it might be the last one I buy.
If I was spending the money, I now the Sea to Sky is quite a bit more expensive than the RT LTD, I thought what the heck, and I'm glad I did, all things considered.

I would like the new way to shift into reverse gear and cancel curse control on the newer ones. I however would no get a Satin finish one. And people say the new machines scratch easily. AND I would have to get two, as I have Washington and Arizona 2018 RTL, and would not like switch back and forth.
