I prefer the comfort of the RTL. I also prefer the digital dash.

"I am 68 now and know I only have a few years of riding left in me..."

I'm sure you know yourself better than I do, but HEY, don't sell yourself short! I am only just beginning to feel that maybe I should write the same statement, but I'd have to change the "68" to "almost 83".
And I have NO plans to quit in the foreseeable future... :yes: So don't sell yourself short! :doorag:

As far as I’m concerned, if I were you, I’d take a serious look at the one that UtahPete is selling. It’s a 2014, and I don’t think that a 2014 should be ruled out. I’m 79 and still ride my ‘14 RTS. Good luck in your search.

:agree: Big Bad Brucie is right! Utah Pete's (exactly like mine and Blue Knight's) would be perfect for you. And, at a fair price. You'd have plenty of power and comfort as well. :yes:

Hi Saluda. I ended up purchasing a F3-T in black. Used 2016 with 4100 miles. I had a budget in mind and this bike came in the day I went to look at a F3 LTD. The dealer worked the numbers and came in on my budget including taxes and all the other stuff. There were no RT's in MN and cost was a bit prohibitive. I am paying the dealer extra to go over it and get an oil change. Turns out it has been sitting 8 months since the last change. I pick her up this Thursday. For the first time in 5 years I am feeling alive. Thank you for your reply!

For the first time in 5 years I am feeling alive. I am so looking forward to being in the wind again. In a stroke of luck I ended up with a 2016 F3-T with 4100 miles in all black. Not quite like my old RT, but I am still very excited. Your statement has given me a huge lift to my spirits. Thank you.

I am sure Utah Pete's RT is in wonderful shape, but it's in Utah. It sounds strange, but I need to "feel" the bike. The minute I sat on my old RT I knew I wanted it and I had sat on others. I ended up with a 2016 F3-T. 4100 miles. I am so looking forward to picking it up this Thursday!

HEY LORI, F3-S or F3-T From Caswell ? I'm guessing we will see you on the next ride :congrats:

I have both a 2016 RT Ltd and a 2018 F3 Ltd ... they are different rides to be sure. Sit a bit higher on the RT, sort of sit "ON" it. The F3 has a lower seating position, more like sitting "IN" it. I like both rides .. more comfortable on the RT but that's purely because I have more miles on that style of Spyder (had a 2012 RT for several years). I think you will find the F3 is a sweet machine and you will enjoy it.

My condolences on your loss. Welcome back to "the wind" .... All the Best ... Ann
