What's the difference between F3 Ltd & F3-T? Anyone switched fm RT?

[blacklightning]

I'm looking at going from a 2019 F3S to a new(er) F3L or F3T next year. Leaning to the T as I have a Lamonster Packrack/top case to install from my F3S. Don't need weak heated grips or rear speakers. Being a 100% solo rider, I can add the air to the rear shock. I can also transfer a bunch of add ons from my S to the T. If a nice deal comes along for a LTD, I might be convinced

You will find that the bags that you currently have on your F3S are larger than the bags on the F3T. I have seen some great deals lately. There was a 2018 F3L on marketplace for $17k.

Yup... No helmets in the F3T/L side bags. Even the top case looks smaller than I remember, but then again, I have a 80L aluminum case on my Packrack Just looked at some new ones today. That damn monolith black RTL looks really really nice

Wow, 80L! You could dice up a body and fit it in that thing. My 54L case is as big as I want to go. It is convenient enough that I can take it off with the turn of a key and take it into the hotel room. What I like the most is that I can transfer it right over to my BMW K1600B

Just finding this thread as we recently went from our much loved 2013 RT Limited of 9 years to a 2021 F3 Limited. For my long legged 6'0" arthritic frame the F3 is more comfortable. We did add boards and pegs and a Mustang seat to Evil '13 and that helped to improve it much. The stock seat and boards are nice on the F#. A sheepskin cover on the seat really helps too. I am going to put a drivers back rest on Nugget and move the boards forward eventually. But so far, sitting in is nice. My wife likes it but thinks the RT was a tad better for her. However, she likes sitting up higher and looking over me now.

I haven't looked into it, but is the top case easily removable and replaced with the cover like on the 2020+ RT?

Blacklightning,

OK. You can remove the top case and you can add a cover in place of it(like the 2020+ RT models). If you remove the top case it is more involved because you have to disconnect the ground strap, radio cable, power harness, and any other cables, plus you have to remove the passenger back rest.
Inside the trunk there is a large handle that you have to unlock, before you remove the top case.


Then you have to put the cover on in place of the rear trunk.

You sit in the F3 and on the RT … true. The F3 pegs/boards can be adjusted for rider comfort and the RT is fixed … and you can add highway pegs to both. Both were comfy for me but I am a foot shorter than you and don’t know how each would fit you for comfort.

Also it makes a difference if you have a passenger and how comfortable they might be.

When I traded my 2017 Harley Ultra in on a new 2020 RTL, I struggled to like the feeling of sitting on top of a bike and gravity in curves fighting me. I traded that later for a new 2022 F3L Limited and I liked how now I felt to be part of the bike again. This year, I traded for a new 2024 F3L Limited, and I like it more and more.

I had these on my F3S and was able to transfer them to my RT S2S. I like them.

If the RT was the only Spyder, I'd ride a Harley. I ride 1-up, so don't need the additional seating. I prefer the sportier handling and ride of the F3 family of Spyders. Yes, I've taken 5K mile trips on my F3-S. You've hit on the differences; the F3-T and the -L have the same drive train. There was a time when the T had the S (larger diameter) rear sprocket, giving more adventurous launches, but now they are the same. For my taste, the RT is a top-heavy, lumbering ride. (My opening comment aside, it is more comfortable than the solid-axle Harley.)

The first GS/RS models were sport bike posturing and had a torturous seat design, although still more tenable than the available conventional trikes in the 2008 - 12 era.
