Thanks for the insight. My wife and I sat on both the F3 and the RT, and decided the RT was a better fit (since we were purchasing the Spyder to do some two-up touring). So, I guess I've ended up with a touring machine that I'm trying to ride like a sport bike. I'm still happy with it, it's great on the open road. Now I just need to do something about the OEM sway bar and Kenda tires.
