    Post Traded RT for 2021 F3 limited!

    I must say it took a while to make up my mind, but I finally traded in my 2014 RT-S. Bought it at Cowtown in Cuba Mo, great folks to deal with there, and they also have a master Spyder mechanic, one of the best in his field. I'm very happy with my decision, I love this machine! No belt vibration,shifts smoother than the previous RT. Raining here today, so Im going to spend some time reading the manual.20210409_185704.jpg

    Beauty. Let us know how the wind protection compares to the RT -- when you get a chance to ride!

    I've been in 'windshield search hell' before, and it was one of the main reasons I chose my 2020RT. Ricz has seemed to solve the F3 windshield issue, so you may want to search for some of his posts or directly seek his advise. Helmet buffeting is the worst...

    My bad, it does not have a belt tensioner, was told that it did from another dealer. I believe im going with the vented 25" f4 windshield

    Congratulations Duke. I traded a 2018 RT for a 2017 F3. The RT is a beautiful bike. I've been wanting one for a long time, but it just didn't have enough legroom for me. The 2020's and 21 RTL's are much more ergonomic for a guy with a bad hip, but I couldn't afford the new RT. It was 28 Degrees when I took the F3 for a test ride. It was freezing, but I knew instantly that was the bike for me. I just picked up a used F4 windshield with the vent to put on for my wife. The bike is still sitting at the dealer. I'm anxious to ride it home soon.
