I have a 2017 RTS. I’m eyeing the F3L but.... if I don’t trade, I’m thinking about buying a F3s. Who had 2 spyders? What made you purchase? Do you think it’s worth it?

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.
Owing two Spyders.

Two here. One for each of us. Double the fun--but double the upkeep costs. Both paid for here. :thumbup:

Two Spyders here as well - an RT-S and an RT Limited - one for myself and one for "She Who Must Be Obeyed." Guess who has the Limited.
My charming bride has never been a pillion passenger; she wants to ride her own motorcycle and in my opinion that's great. She'll outlast me I suspect because she's a few years younger and more sensible than I. Oh yes, certainly worth it!

I had a 2014 Rt first, and then purchased a 2012 RSS for more spirited riding. Eventually I decided that I only needed one that could do both well, so I bought a 2016 F3T. About 6 months later, I picked up a 2013 Suzuki boulevard M109R to satisfy my 2 wheeled needs.

Two Spyders
I got two as well.
Bought my 2017 RTS Dec 2016. Pearl white
Bought the wife a 2017 F3L May 2018. Black on red.
Both were new fresh out if the crate.
Got a much better deal on hers though.
why did I purchase the second one - wife is new to riding and I felt better with her on three wheels instead if two.
Was it worth it- absolutely.

3 Spyders
I had a 2016 Spyder RTS, my wife drove a Suzuki Burgman. She enjoyed riding on the RTS that we bought her a 2015 Spyder RT. She absolutely loves it. I just this week turned my 2016 RTS in on a 2018 F3 Limited.
Absolutely love it. I'm a bigger guy and the seating position is so much more comfortable for me. I have to get the bigger windshield though to try to deflect some of that wind. Some love it, I'm not one of them.
Absolutely love the F3, gonna take a 2000 mile trip with both RT and F3 next month, hopefully it will be as comfortable on the long ride as the RT is

Both are drivers
My wife an I have two Spyders as well. She has a 2016 RTL and I have a 2016 F3T. I got mine first and she loved driving it but not riding on it as a passenger, so we bought her one as well. We really enjoy riding together and both getting to drive. I have to agree with with the cost of up keep. But we live in Florida so we can ryde 12 months a year and it is allowing us to eliminate a car.

We have two
We have and RTL and F3S, but the operative word is "we". Jacque and I both have Spyders and we ride each of our Spyders a great deal. Off and on for decades I've had multiple bikes that were "mine" and I've never been very good at riding multiple bikes. I tend to favor one and ride it 99% of the time. When I purchased our Spyders I sold two BMWs and two Harleys. It only took 30 years, but I've learned I don't need more than one bike that is "mine".

I rode on back the wifes 11 RT when my Harley wouldnt go...
I enjoyed kicking back and gawking at the scenery with the wife driving but she likes her own ride.
Then I sold the Harley when she got the 14 RTS and I got the hand-me down, which I later traded for a 15 base RT. Now she has the 16 F3T and she commutes daily as well as our weekend rides. She has about 150,000 miles on Spydees and I'm coming up on 50K but whos counting
