    Default F3L or RTL

    Have a friend looking at a spyder, he is about 6 foot five. got on out FTL and he seemed like he was quite cramped. Would the F3L be a better fit for him ? Thanks guys

    I have an F3-T. I am 6 foot 4. I put the brake and handlebars to position E. Also installed the ultimate seat big boy and I am happy as a clam on my F3-T

    Fortunately, the F3L has the adjustable bars and brake pedal rods. There should be no issues with that one.

    The ride between the RT and F3 is somewhat different. I have one of each.

    Lots of info here about differences. Bottom line, you sit ON the RT and IN the F3.

    One is a gold wing couch, and one is a cruiser type ride.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Did he look at a 20 RT? It has more room for the rider which your friend needs.

    I'm 6'2" and have long legs 35 inseam. I had 2 RT's but always felt cramped on the RT. Bought a F3Limited and have the pegs at position #5 and all is well. Plus the RT always felt like I was sitting on the bike and the F3 you sit in the bike. At 6'5" I think his only option is the F3.
