Dont let the money get in the way of happiness or comfort and fitment

If all else is OK with an F3L, then the seat thing can be easily remedied by going to a saddle customizer. I will be doing that soon and while he's at it, I'll have him add heat.
I too found the 2020 RT too cramped for my legs and the bars a lot closer. BRP must have had smaller riders in mind. The older RTs didn't fit me either.
If you are going to be doing most of your own service work, the F3L is a better choice as everything is more accessible and a lot fewer panels need to be removed.
Another thing I like about the F3L is its lower center of gravity which makes it sportier in the twisties.
Good luck and many happy miles on whatever Spyder you decide to buy.

Good move. Title issues usually lead to problems...unless you deal directly with their banker and get assurance as to proper title transfer from the lienholder. This is one issue NOT to do on a handshake.

Hands down excellent advice. Reduced to its basics, without a title the current "owner" doesn't in fact actually own the machine; the lien holder does and that's the entity to deal with. It's also possible, just possible, that the current seller owes more than the resale value of the Spyder which could result in you overpaying. Everything may be above board but awareness of potential stumbling blocks is a good thing.
