    Default Bit The Bullet

    Well, I finally got my little pea brain wrapped around the decision on buying a new bike.
    I really do like the RT's and could have got a new 2016 for a really good price, but I was
    not comfortable with body position and the angle of my legs to the floor boards. I did a
    lot of research on road pegs and finally decided to not risk buying an RT that I could not
    be comfortable on.

    A 2017 F3 Limited has now found a new home in my barn. I liked my 2015 F3S and the
    way it ran and shifted. But the Limited seems to have corrected all the little things that
    I did not care for on the F3S. It starts right away, 6 speaker AM/FM radio, heated grips,
    extra accessory voltage everywhere, luggage space, floor boards and room to move my
    feet and legs around. Most important is that my wife likes it.

    A lot of good road trips are in our future!!

    of course the final part of his statement that his wife liked it is the most important factor of all. We can like anything but until the boss give the blessing, we may be just wasting our time!

    Congrats! Check out Lamonster's RIP floorboards. They give you endless options to move your feet around. I had the CanAm boards and these are so much better.

    I just traded my 2015 RtS for the 2017 F3-Limited. More wind and the smaller frunk is about the only complaints so far. I have a new MadStad windshield on but it's not been great weather to test it. Love the way it handles so far.
