F3 Limited Power Steering Upgrades?

[AzBTO]

Looking for a left over new F3L, found a 17 for a good price, an 18 for about 1k more, then a few 19's for another 1 to 2k more... heard there were power steering upgrades from the 17 to 18, is that true and if so how significant is it?

My 2018 F3 limited steers easy. Even when not moving. The 17's may be the same.

Yes my 2017 F3 Limited is very easy to steer. I had a 2015 RTS prior to the F3 and the steering was like night and day apart.

Thanks for the replies... i hate having to choose between years... price adds up quickly

its really significant(i recently tested a 2019)but is it relevant?
the 2019 can steer without moving.....a great thing for sure but its not high on my list of priorities

things for you to consider........resale value if you decide you made a mistake
how the bike handles..you must ride each contender,make sure you can live with the traits of the bike you buy(they are not all the same).....eg.i have a 2016 F3 and wouldnt swap it for a 2020(unless it handled like the 16)

if you need easier steering tho,rest assured the 2019 is really easy to steer(but dont buy sight unseen,ride the bike you intend to buy,they are not all the same<rpt)

hope you get a good'n
