    Congrats! I was wondering how the take off and passing power compares between the RT with the 1330 and the 2017 and up F3 Limited? I know with my 2016 F3T, there was a significant difference, but that is because if the lighter weight and larger sprocket. But with the later models F3 Limiteds having the same size sprocket as the RT, I wondered if there was that much of a difference. Just courius.

    It may be a little quicker because it's lighter. But not much. It corners way better and has better power steering than the 15 RTS.

    Congrats! I picked up mine a few weeks ago. Same model and color. This is my first spyder, coming from two wheels. The more I ride it, the more I love it.

    I was never really that comfortable on the RTS. My legs would cramp up a lot. And my knees would hurt in that position. Also felt like I would always lean toward the handlebars. I've always had cruisers before.
    In that position I feel more relaxed. Nothing wrong with an RT if you feel good on it. They are a smoother ride. The F3 is more of an exciting ride to me. Also with syderpops trunk extender there is more passenger space then the RT. From the back of my backrest to the passenger backrest is 14 1/2 "

    It's very nice and optically clear. The only drawback is that they didn't extend the plastic past the mounting hardware. So there is a gap there. My hands get a lot of wind and get cold in the morning's. Also makes it look weird. Kinda unfinished. I tried looking for top mirror wings like the RT has but only find lower mirror wings.
