What is the difference in the RT and RT Limited? This one looked like the limited to me so I am confused on the differences in the two. Thanks for any help you can give me. This unit has under 600 miles on it and is local to me.

:welcome: and :congrats: on that first post.
The difference between a base RT...and RTL...real chrome, cruise control, radio, auto airbag system, garmin and driving lights.
The intermediate RT-S has all the above except for real chrome (colored plastic on S), and garmin.
I think I got it all.

If that's the bike then it's an RT and not a limited. The sticker on the side bag says as much. Plus it has the older front fenders. Also, I don't see the GPS attached.
2018 RT Limiteds didn't come w/GPS as they had the new BRP Connect.
Lunatic--If you want a good deal on a 2018 RT Limited, PM me. I know where one's at. Not local to you but a screaming deal.
That appears to be a base model, definitely not a limited, way overpriced.

RT has many issues
I'm almost there on the same page with you. My 2020 RT has been a challenge - unlike my 2015 F3-S, which was first year for F3's.
Hip/knee riding pain - intimidating to me and my dealer tech. is the removal of long long mostly snap off panels. Very real potential for scratching/gouging/breaking panels - who's to say who did the damage, me or them.
Having to remove multiple panels just to get to a part under one of those Panels.
Once you see part not easy to get to - even the oil filter - have to move a part to even see the dang filter.
IMHO - RT is the most time consuming and hardest BRP on road vehicle to maintain/repair and MOD.
Don't get me wrong - I love everything else about the 2020 RT and have even been going against my Doctor's advice (she said: "Listen to me stop riding it NOW") in trying to figure out a way to keep it.
I should have explained her comment - she was only referring to the RT and not motorcycles in general. Since I ride pain free on two wheelers and Spyder F3 - probably the Ryker as well (haven't sat on one yet - local dealers seem to never have stock).
I considered Ryker's but not a fan of black - prefer white and lighter colors: easier for cagers to see- although sometimes they don't see anything. From watching videos, the Ryker's appear to be a blast and easy to MOD with lots of MOD choices being offered by third parties.
Ryker of course significantly less expensive - 2 for the price of 1 RT/F3-T.
And I agree - There is something about getting out and about on a motorcycle (especially now with COVID) that is exciting and relieves stress. I ride during low volume traffic - early mornings/late night.
Even looking at and modding motorcycles reduces stress for me.
I actually prefer night - cool/clear nights are the best.
We all know your love for modding!!!:cheers:

I am glad you found this is site.
Which ever spyder model you choose post a picture of the one you choose.
