Considering a Spyder - Can I Ask You Some Questions?

[Mikey]

Don't be afraid of the mileage part of the sale if they have a service record, if it's been maintained you'll be OK! If your dreams are doing a bit of traveling the RT will have a bit more luggage space, where the rubber hits the road between the two is that you will sit a small amount differently on an RT vs an F3, and it would be worth your time to go to a dealership and sit on both, then go out and see what you can find on the pre-owned market! It's nice to talk to the person you're buying it from to see why they're selling it! I was down in Tenn a couple of days ago seeing family with my 2012 RTL; found a nice 2025 S2S that had 700 miles on it that the owner just didn't like the way it handled and wanted to go back to two wheels; got a heck of a good deal and came home with that; and my brother-in law got a heck of a deal also! So, take your time, try them out, have fun, and find what's good for you!!

Be aware that a number of dealers will not service a Spyder 10 years or older

Thanks for all of the info so far. We're definitely focused on 2020 and newer RT's at this point.

I read the F3's sit more like a cruiser bike, which is not where I come from. All the bikes I've owned are more upright seating. So it sounds like the RT's ergos and extra storage might be what I'm after. But I think I'll have the option to sit on both Thursday.

Jarrett - I believe the F3-T comes with a five-position foot peg system, where you can tailor it to your own liking. Same with the F3-S.

Have your wife sit on the passenger seat on both the F3 and the RT. For some reason my wife prefers the F3. And I much prefer the F3 driver's position over the RT.

What's a good price for a 2023 CAN-AM SPYDER RT LIMITED WITH 2,448 MILES?

I guess that depends if it's a private sale vs through a dealer with some additional warranty. I see a couple on FB Marketplace in the $24 to $25K range.
