You've got the best of both worlds owning an F3 & an F3-T ... I still wouldn't mind picking up a Ryker to have some fun on. I don't think that'll be happening anytime soon though ... Buying a New Boat to add to my Toy Collection. Ryde safe buddy 👍😎👊 Beanie
Been riding a F3T for awhile now, adjusted front shocks to halfway, 17" LaMonster windscreen, Corbin seat and floorboards. Miles are not a problem. Have fun
I guess there is no such thing as the perfect bike/trike but that new F3T sounds great. Interesting comparisons to the older F3 and a bit surprising too. I have not been riding much since we moved due to all the move-in chores but hope to get back to it soon. The movers somehow misplaced my cameras but sent me one as a consolation. It will take a while to get the settings right and I still have to replace the rear-facing one. Most of all, I sure miss the great roads of Tennessee. Ryde safe!
I just sold my 2018 Spyder RTL after 4 and 1/2 years. The floorboards really hurt my back, (I have back issues like you) and also the Airhawk (as you said). I tried a 2023 F3T yesterday and I honestly think sitting lower and the foot pegs (which allows you to put pressure on them which seems to relieve my back ). I know the 2023 RTL has giant floorboards that allow more movement but your feet are still riding basically flat instead of ‘propped’ like on the pegs. I’m beginning to think the pegs are easier on the back than floorboards. Any thoughts?
So I bought the Ultimate floorboards from pierre and I love them. You still have the forward position, but it also lets you move around and stand up if needed. I feel these are a game changer.
I can't make up my mind if i want the f3s or the RT . Decisions Decisions . Could you add some rubber bushings to your floor boards to help cut down on the vibrations. Thanks for the video. Stay safe
I've always been very, Meh, about the after market saddled for my RTL, so an Airhawk seemed like a sensible alternative. Funny about the airhawk though, which I've used for a couple of years... I tried the larger Airhawk because you talked about it, but it didn't feel right for me, caused some pressure points, as you mention. So I stayed with a smaller (medium?) size, and it seemed to be all right. Then I lost my Airhawk on a ride. I panicked and ordered another, but it was smaller. Bad timing put me there, but I had to lead a 400+ mile club ride and without any pad and it was... very comfortable for the whole ride. Maybe try that..? I was pleasantly surprised...
Nice ride day when its cloudy, because it's not normally as hot. My seat on my 21' RTL is a lot better than my 15' RTS. I have a seat pad called a " Butt Buffer " ,its a gel type pad . I use it only on long days. Put some Real Carbon Fiber on my 21' RTL yesterday ,from WrapMySpyder. Didn't do the whole kit, just select peices.
I'm confused u keep talking about a f3 at home. The one your riding now or during the video is what a f3T????? And if u don't mind me asking what is up with the view through that windshield? All the lines on the road look wigglie or bent through that windshield that would drive me nuts.. Just wondering because i'm looking to buy a 2023 f3T. Thanks
I have 2 spyders a 2015 spyder F3 and this 2020 F3T. The camera is mounted on my chin and looks through the windscreen. When you are riding you look over the windscreen and you don't see the distortion.
I hope BRP has fixed the front pulley failures (red dust of death)?? My 2018 F3LTD is on the 3rd pulley this year and BRP will not help out...grrr! It is a $400 repair!
Another great video. At 10:55 you went past my childhood home. It’s on the left side back a 1/2 mile long driveway.
That's wild!

Another great video! Both are great machines! I feel like my arms just go numb. Gotta ryde with one arm while I shake it out.
I know the feeling Bri ... Hope you're keeping well mate!

@@spyderryder Thanks!

I went with the F3 limited. Absolutely love it
I feel like the F3T is so much like the RT. Hard to justify the cost but cant go wrong either way.

I would like to see an actually walk around of the Spyder F3T talking about the features, by showing the bike not your area.
I can do that

I gotta sit on an F3 and feel it out. Maybe someplace will let me demo one. I did 2000 miles on my RS, I think I can do it on an F3 lol
What was the seat that you mentioned? Also what year is you're T?

ouch, clippin audio and way high. Nice bike 🙂
