Just curious?

Whats the difference in the F3 Limited vs. the RT limited.
I know the F3 line up is larger (F3, F3S, F3S special, F3T, and F3 limited)
RT and RT Limited

Thanks

This may not be the definitive explanation but in basic terms, and in my opinion only, the F3 Limited would be considered "Sport Touring" while the RTL would be considered "Classic Touring." No doubt you'll receive many more definitions - from both camps. And that's not a bad thing at all.

Size: F3L is narrower and shorter.

Styling: F3L is a little more "streamlined" looking.

Everyone, this will be typed with no offense meant to anyone.

But this is how I look at it. The F3 series is much sportier and looks it too.

The RT's seem more minivan like and seems to work with a somewhat older crowd better. While the F3 series is for people who want a nice, fast and sportier look.

I think a decent 2 wheeled comparison that most people will get is I would say the F3L is like the Harley Ultra Classic - feet forward with all the creature comforts - but cruising...The RTL is more like the Goldwing - still all the creature comforts - but much different seating position - taller, feet down riding position, etc. Storage is mostly similar - though RTL may have a bit more.

The big thing for me is the seating position, seat height, and feet position - makes a major difference. And like the Harley, you see more engine/etc. with the F3L and like the Wing, more is covered with the RTL.

That's my 2 cents.

Systems wise; both are very similar. Seating position and looks are the differentiators. “For me” the F3 is more muscular/serious looking while the pre 2020 RT has a strange cartoonish look to it. The 2020 RTs seem to return to that more muscular/serious look of the First Gen RS/GS models- love the looks of those as well. As you can see - purely subjective...

I test rode a 2019 F3-T last weekend. /drool/ I asked the dealer the same basic question. He said the F3 was a "cruiser" and the RT was a "tourer". He said this was straight from Can Am. Whether that's true or not, beats me but it makes sense. (If I can sell my '14 Kawasaki Nomad, I'm buying the '19 F3-T.)

Straight from BRP's online configurator

F3/S = SPORT CRUISING
F3/T = CRUISER TOURING

And the RT might be the LUXURY TOURING.

Still to me F3/T and RT seem to compete on the same market segment, and wouldn't be surprise if BRP would let down the Limited package on the F3/T or even the F3/T model.

Thanks to everyone that's replied, greatly appreciated.

Another question, is a top of the line F3 Limited just as luxurious as an RT Limited?

Seems like the RT limited sets the benchmark for "ultimate spyder" as per BRP.

Thanks again

Is the F3L just as luxurious as the RTL? No. Not in my opinion. They are made to be different. For about $3K difference in price...that should be a bit of a clue. HOWEVER...I like my F3L a LOT.

Agree that the RTL is the "benchmark" Spyder. It is the "Goldwing...luxury couch" ride. The F3 is a bit more "sporty" although I find the ride to be as plush as my 2014 RT-S. Sorry...don't have an RTL.
