Is adding highway pegs & handlebar extensions?
Looking at a 2011 RSS for my hubby. He's a longlegged person, that will need highway pegs and handlebar extensions to be more comfortable. Its it worth buying the RSS, or wait for a good deal on an F3?

Choices.....
Depends who you ask...most here will tell you to go for the F3 others who love the 998 V-twin will tell you to go for the RSS. Honestly if you are just starting out and have no rush the F3 would be a better bet and there are good deals now and getting better. You can test them both and see which is best suited....its all in the test ryde...

My story may help you decide ... tho my issue is short, not tall - but it all applies
Started out with a used 09 RS, weight on wrists & sore back/shoulders so added bar risers, changed seat etc etc
Traded for a used STL, much better ergonomics, but sore hip issue got worse. Added Tri axis bars which helped enormously
Husband bought f3s 15 - I waited almost a year before having a long ride on one of our favourite rides
I had a feeling it could be an expensive ride
Jeff then bought a Daytona (traded the st) and I am soooooo happy - I have the red 15 f3s now
F3 advantages are the ease and cheapness of changing bars and pegs/boards to suit different heights and riding styles.
Other things like half the servicing and 25% greater fuel range help too...
Oh and it suits me way better - sitting in not on means those great twisty rides are even better...
Did you see the SALE post by cummingj? Looks like a great deal...
