• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Hi, I'm a new member with a question........

I'm trying to get up to speed on a Can-Am RT, '13 model.....I know next to nothing about them
but, I'm 60 now and thought I should look into 3-wheelers......anyway, I know all bikes have problems and I've read some heat related issues with the '13.....

My question is are there other issues a first time buyer should know, I.e. buy it or RUN!
I've not even rode one yet, should get one this week, unless I go for the F6B but I will get
one of the two.....

I guess I'm asking are you happy with your RT or is there too much heat, under powered,
seat hurt yur bum, and also what you love about them, great machine, stress free, safer etc.

anything from anyone would be a great help......would like your opinions on the '13 RT...

thank you all in advance and thanks for a great site!!

:welcome:

I'm 72 and bought a 13 RTL 2 months ago and have 3000 miles on it and haven't been more than 30 miles from home.
I say if you are on the fence to jump in. It is an awesome ride and I love mine and haven't had any problems.
 
I turn 74 in March 2014 and have Parkinson's along with a couple of military disabilities and have been riding since 1955. I gave up two wheels in 1996. Restarted riding in 2011 on a Can-An... The only time I regretted it was the day we got caught in the rain with our rain gear staying dry in the garage.

As others so stated any bike or trike (pick your own word) will have a glitch every now an then. But always when you want to use it. My ride has been virtually a 99.99999 operational ride. Take a demo ride and go for at least and hour. Bet you come back with a grin that would take the undertaker two days to get rid off.
 
Have a new 2013 RT Limited Edition and all I can say is buy it and start having an awesome time. Just remember its so different from 2 wheels so take your time getting your head around how it handles.

I have a 2013 . This is my second one. had a 2011 before. The 2013 is 100% better for riding and handling. Have less heat on this one then on my 2011. Rode the 2014. Great power band. But otherwise the ride was the same as my 2013.
 
:welcome:...I drove the wife's 2010 RT, and liked it a lot....got to test ryde a 2013 STS, and loved it, and bought it...I am 65 now, and have had bikes since I was 14.....love this one, and she almost has 2500 miles on her....looking to put many, many more miles on her...:spyder2: :D..Take the test drive...you will get hooked, and love It. :2thumbs:
 
You will love it , i'm sure

I have a 2013 RT S Limited and we absolutly love it . Have had no issues at all . A few have complained about heat issues . We came off riding a Harley Ultra Classic Limited , they must have never rode a bike like the Harley ( with no tupperware under you ) if they want to talk about heat . Like some have said go for a test ride and you will love it . Make sure to find a good dealer and I'm sure you won't have any problem's . It does make a difference , I'm a heavy equipment mechanic by trade so I know .
