Sounds great.

Our new 570 Polaris Ranger UTV is 44 HP and weighs just over 1000 lbs and is a rocket up to its 50 MPH governed max speed.

Can you say,, 30% faster on the quarter mile? Not that I race, but interesting potential.....

If you sit ON the RT, and you sit IN the F3:
How does sitting 3" lower make you feel?:dontknow:

No power steering on the Ryker.....

I read elsewhere that the wheelbase was about a foot shorter....

BRP stats for both 2019 models published 67" wheelbase- Wheels are farther forward on the Ryker.

The bike is about a foot shorter: the wheelbase is about the same.
With the narrower front tires and lighter weight: power steering becomes unnecessary. :thumbup:

[old Timer]

Something tells me that the new Ryker will be an absolute blast on these twisty Smokey Mountain roads. :thumbup:

Looking forward to them Big Time. :clap:

The front hood latch comes off with easy access to fluids, battery- to connect maintainer and heated gloves liners/gloves. I'll bet you can even change the plugs in less than ONE day?:yikes:

I suspect that there won't be deals for awhile and that the value of used Spyders, especially the F3/F3S is going down fast.

Wow! That would make for easy loading on a trailer, when it comes to not scraping the front. Which also tends to make me think. If I was an RV'er, this would be pretty good to tow behind a motor home and take on those little daily excursions. Nothing to travel far on, but good for little trips out to see sights.

I think the horsepower is 77 not 90.

Your Right:clap: -I was thinking Spark 900 ACE.

[Kratos]

Didn't think about the nose to trailer thing. Combine that with the size, easy transmission, and off road ability......and ladies/gents we have an entire new class of bike.

Right now my mind is thinking of a lot of things this bike could be for me that my last spyder wasn't.

must be sitting below the Ryker .. right!

[Sarge707]

must be sitting below the Ryker .. right!

The test rider said you feel like part of the machine. Far cry from my old GS that I swear wanted to toss be off in hard corners?
