Not complaining and I do understand new model intros and all.
Somewhat an exercise in futility, because I'd never get to ride it (wife would shoot me if I bought another bike so soon). However, I recently emailed a dealer about trading my '13 RT for a like equipped '14 model. The dealer is very well known and several states away...I've purchased two bikes from them over the last three years. I have quite a bit of experience in trading and selling bikes...had about a 100 machines in last 50+ years and sold them for a dealer for a while after I retired. So I say what would diff be between my '13 with 2,200 miles and a new '14. '13 listed for $21,8XX when new and '14's MSRP is $22,1XX. Difference $7,300.00! That, my friend, is the biggest difference, however one would like to measure it ($487.00 per horsepower increase, for one), that I can remember in similar situations. I immediately went to the garage, looked at my pristine '13...it never looked so good. Life is good.
