Traded in our 2015 F3S SM6 on a new 2020 F3S SE6. The 2015 was an excellent machine and we’re loving this new 2020 so far! My third Spyder and first one with the SE6!
Congrats! My first spyder was a 2014 RT SM6. I went with the manual because I couldn't see paying $1500 more for additional parts that could go bad. Then I picked up a 2012 RSS SE5 for a sweet deal. I figured at that price, I couldn't go wrong. But unfortunately the shift solenoid went bad and it cost me nearly $800 to have the problem fixed. After about 6-8 months, I decided to sell the RT and trade the RSS for a F3T. I was a little hesitant on the SE transmission due to the issue with the RSS. But again I came across a good deal on a leftover new bike. So I bit the bullet and have been happy for over 3 years with the bike. Now I think the SE transmission is the only way that I would want to go. However if the right deal came along on a used RSS SM5, I would love to pick it up.

Glad to hear the SE trans on your F3 T has been good! I hear ya with wanting a RSS SM5, I loved my RS with the SM5.
