 Looking to purchase Spyder RT or F3
Hello. I’m in London Ontario. I ride a ryker, but will be upgrading to something I can tour with. I'd prefer a used one that’s fully loaded, nothing needed. Prefer a private sale, but willing to go to a dealer. I’m 5”2, not sure what would fit me best?
Anyone have any advice on what to look for?

Get in touch with MONK on this forum, believe he's in North Carolina, He has a near new 2021 RT with everything but a kitchen sink! It's listed in the For Sale on this forum, Good Luck...... .......Bill

Sit on both before you decide. They "sit" differently.
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.

Try to get a test run also, they drive completely different, The F3 is a sportcruiser, whilst the RT is a longdistance cruiser. It's all to personal preference, tho "monk's" offer is quite appealing....

Hi strictlyred, at 5'2" you might want to look into the UFit system on the F3 models. You can adjust your foot placement to 5 different presets and a you can adjust the bars a bit. To be fair, I haven't looked into this since I purchased my F3 Limited in 2019 so perhaps the RT is offering this feature now as well? Maybe something worth considering.
Good luck! I'd still love a Ryker Rally. I miss my gravel travel.
