Goodbye old faithful - but my New Spyder is on the way!

[redneck diva]

I say goodbye to my old faithful today - 2014 RT Limited. He has traveled across the country 5 times for me without any fails or problems. Just turned 56k miles on him. Time to let someone else enjoy the ride & looking forward to my new ride, a 2021 F3 Limited. I should be able to pick up my new ride on Thursday. I'm looking forward to a cross country trip on him as soon as this September.

I'm very happy for you for many reasons. Keep those bike wheels a-turnin'.

Thanks all. I will post a pic of the new ride when I pick it up. It's still in a crate right now & will have to be put together. Also, I ordered a trailer hitch for it, so I will have them install it prior to me taking delivery.

I was feeling bad for you until I continued reading. Now I'm jealous. :congrats:

:congrats: Nice choice of replacement. We both like ours. Same, but 2019 and 2020.

~ What is the cost to add an installed trailer hitch to a new Spyder, if you don’t mind me asking?

The hitch itself is the major cost - it is $679.99 for the BRP unit. My dealer is charging $158.20 to install it & a set of passenger armrests.

Curious what made you choose the F3 rather than another RT.

 

[redneck diva]

My husband has a 2020 RT Limited; son has a 2020 Ryker. So we decided to do the F3 Limited just to change things up every once & awhile.

You may can see the 2020 RT Limited in the background of the pic on my original post. (blue)

~until you replied with the cost of the hitch, I had no idea what was involved purchasing a BRP trailer hitch. Thank you for letting me know what I’m looking at in Order to buy one Diva

Looks like 'old faithful' treated you right and congrats on the f3.

I doubt the quality of the '21 will be as good as the '14. "they just don't make em like they used to" Good luck with the new wheels

 

[redneck diva]

I'll just be glad to get him. I went on Friday to pick him up & they had pinched an airline, so it had a small leak in it & wouldn't ya know it, mine was the only F3 Limited in the store. They are having to order the airline in to replace it.

maybe one day this week i can get him.

Finally got the new ride home. Time to add some farkles & put down some miles.



Allowed my son to take it for the maiden ride. He just got his motorcycle license & was eager to test it out...
