    Default Traded my '14 limited for a slightly used '20......omg!

    Smiled and grinned from ear to ear all the way back the 225 miles. Chuckled a few times too.
    Has anyway named the feeling one gets from riding a 2020 the very first time ?
    Like farfigknuegen!! or OoooLaLa!! Or just scream like a girl, haha.
    (sorry ladies)
    Anyway, I got on the site again after long time because I couldn’t remember tire pressure as I didn’t ride my
    ‘14 much, but now I ride the ‘20 every chance I get. It’s one of the best bikes I’ve had and on
    a par with my Goldwings and bmw’s gs.

    So, sorry for the self-indulgent thread, I just wanted to post my feelings on it.
    It’s awesome.......

    I always wondered how to spell 'farfig... '

    So, what is so different about the '20?

    Another great question Pete !!
    Wow, I wish I could tell you, I can’t really but handling, steering, ride. It feels like power steering. It doesn’t need a laser alignment, my knee doesn’t hurt when I get off. Don’t get me wrong I really liked my ‘14
    but, and I’ll say it —- the ‘14 feels like a toy compared to the ‘20, and I know that’s not much help.
    Also the ‘20 with 4,000 miles was slightly less $$$$ that my ‘14 was at year end.

    And don’t quote my on that spelling haha.

    It still needed the solid steel aftermarket “sway bar” though.

    I love your enthusiasm. I signed up for a demo ride coming in early june. Your post made me even more anxious to try a new one.
    Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

    Thanks RICZ,
    I see you have an F3, that RT feels a lot like the F3 I first rode at a Spyderfest, more “intuitive” and maybe they got some of the F3 technology on the 2020 RT Ltd, idk.
