Why buy an F3 rather than an RT?

It’s great to hear that your F3 has headlights, Deanna……..otherwise it would make night riding tricky, to say the least:yikes::roflblack:

My first Can Am was a 2017 F3 LTD. I like the look and sound of the F3, but the seat was not comfortable. I could only ride about 400 miles and the seat felt like I was sitting on a rock. I sold it and later bought a 2021 RT Base. I feel if I need to heat the seat it is too cold to ride for me. The RT seat was like riding on a couch and I was able to ride over 900 miles in a day. I bought it June 2022 and as of today I have done 9400 miles.
Whatever you have, enjoy it! We only are on this earth for a short time!

In my case, two reasons in order of importance:

1. Riding the RT was painful due to my bad hips and knees.

2. I prefer "sitting in" and the lower CG of the F3 to "sitting on" the RT - there's less body roll in turns.

This just shows you that we are all different. For me, the F3 seating position is all wrong. Sitting IN it slows my accessing the brake much SLOWER. Sitting ON the RT allows me quick access to the brake, sooooo..... MUCH SAFER. This all on the pre-20’s, can’t speak on the post 20’s.
