Great video Beth! It's good to see not only passionate people but also knowledgeable people like yourself with these vlogs. When I ordered my 2022 Spyder in August of 2021, I rented an RT Limited and an F3 to compare and to validate my choice. I have a great dealership that gave me the option to change my order after the rentals. I agree with you; the F3 has a sportier feeling when you ride. But, as a personal preference, I preferred the more upright seating position of the RT and the bigger windshield up front. So, it confirmed my choice and I picked up my RT Sea-to-Sky in May 2022 and have been enjoying the journey ever since (it is my first ever motorcycle). Carpe diem et veho. Cheers Beth!

@Beth - my wife is a shorty (5’3”) like you. When we looked at bikes, she considered the Ryker but she really liked the power steering of the F3. She also has the short reach bars, the backrest, and the floorboards. She absolutely LOVES her F3 … it’s perfect for her and it was well worth the extra $$. To me, the way to think of the lineup is like this: Ryker = Sportbike F3 = Cruiser RT (My bike) = Gold Wing

Cow dog, You are right. We just traded my wife’s Ryker off for 2023 RT S2S. I have a 2022 RTL. Rode her Ryker around town, which wasn’t bad. Out on the highway it about killed us. The Ryker was nosy from wind, very rough. I rode the Ryker 50 miles several weeks ago I could see why she didn’t really enjoy riding with me. So made arrangements to trade her bike off. She got to ride her new RT home a 160 miles and she really enjoyed the ride. We are both happy with the Spyders. Hope to do some fall trips in the next few weeks in CO and NM. Ride safe.

Great video! I'm about to purchase a Spyder RT but one thing I don't like about the Ryker is how low you sit. It seems as though the higher you sit the better you can see traffic ahead of you. Also, seems like the low sitting position makes it a little more difficult for other motorist to see you.

Hello Beth, Doug C. we met at Milo's booth at Spyder Fest in Deland this year (2023). Also owning F3 Spyder Limited Special Series. You are spot on with your information. Love your Vids !!!! Looking forward to see you at the next Can Am Rally/Fest.

Really great comparison video. I sold my Ryker 3 month after buying my Spyder. I do miss the Ryker for quick trips, but I love my Spyder RT. I first looked at the F3 Limited but had a very hard time getting on it. The large floorboards on the RT models make it so easy for me. It’s almost like the brake pedal and handle bars are made for someone my size.

Very informative Beth… I truly loved my Ryker. I’m looking forward to just as much enjoyment on the Spyder. Love the analogy of the Ryker and RT bam the F3.

Hey there. I have had my Ryker for 4 years and am now going to to get a Can Am Spyder F3. Thank you for this review.

I had the Ryker 900 Sport 2022 for a year and a half and I just exchanged it for the Spyder RT Limited 2023 and I love it! I thought the Ryker was amazing but now I think the Spyder is superb in every aspect. I enjoy to travel with my daughter for longer distance and also like you said we bought feel safer and more comfortable. I guess if the price of the Spyder is an obstacle for some buyers the Ryker will be a very nice option. We enjoy your videos and learn so much from them. Thank you and be always safe.

Really great video on the two. My favorite would be----one of each! I'll probably end up getting the RT since I plan on touring once retired. I've pulled a trailer for many years one my Honda Ace 750. Once you do that you'll never want to go without one. All my gear stayed in it all year long with plenty of room to spare. Can't wait for the F3 - RT comparison . Oh , by the way , must be hard to decide which one to ride on the next day , lol .

Damn it Beth, now you got me drooling over the F3. I got my Ryker after researching and follow you, now I gotta get me a F3. :-D

I got a 22 rhyker sport a few months ago left over from last year. Got a good deal. Did a 129 mile ride and it used 2.7 gallons of gas when I refueled before going home. My first bike and loving it

I did a 338 mile trip to the Smoky Mountains on my Ryker Rally. It was fun but sure do need to breaks to get some water or just walk around.

Nice video. And congratulations to the new bike. I tested the F3 and I was sold, so I traded my Ryker for a new F3 STD. I really love the power and that I feel more secure on the bigger bike on the highway. And the bigger tank is great to have. It's fun to do all the mods. Jenny (Sweden)

As always thank's for the wonderful reviews!

Thank you SO much for this straightforward video. The CanAm sales guy knows me now. lol I finally know which one is best for me. 😊

Thanks for your video l have a 900 Ryker Ray from Cleveland Ohio bout to ride shortly have a good day

Your video is just what I was looking for. I believe the first one I ever saw was a Ryker and it was definitely Love At First Sight 😍 However, now I know the Spyder is meant for me 😊 Thank you so much!! I'm a happy new subscriber and can't wait to watch more of your content 💜

Thank you so much, I am on the fence about this and what to get myself as I get older and want the safety of three wheel.

Im definently an F3 fan of all the lineup. Test rode 2 can am experience events and 1 open house at a local dealership. I also rode the ryker rally a couple weeks ago and thats definently a nimble machine. I cant wait to see what next yr brings and hopefully get myself an F3.

From reading the comments It seems like you're causing a lot of people to switch to the Spyder and I am starting to feel a little left out. I love the F3-S, wish I had the money to make that jump.

My bride and I currently have a Shadow Aero dressed out at about 700lbs. The Ryker is looking good as we don’t do long road trips.

I also have an F3 Limited. As an FYI...if you install the BRP passenger arm rests, you lose the heated grips for the passenger since they don't have heating elements in them like the grab rails do.

I have Can-Am 2015 RX the control is so great Burn Rubber all fly

Great comparison video, Beth. I appreciate the insight on the Spyder!

Good video, but I wish you had compared the Ryker with the base F3 which are closer in price vs the top of the line F3 Limited Special Series.

Your intro is solid!! Love this review! Always love your content. I do like the F3 because it still looks sporty.

Maybe you should have someone look at your Ryker. I get 35 mpg and I fill up after 140-150 miles on my Rally 900. I ride mostly local with occasional short highway. Also, where did you get those rims? They are very nice.

On my 2022 Sport (900) I routinely get 300-330KM (186-205 miles) per tank - always in sport mode.

Good morning, Beth! I traded my Ryker Rally in on an F3 Limited a few months ago. The Ryker was a lot of fun. The F3 definitely suits me better, though. I am much less tired after a 100+ miles of riding and going father without stopping for gas is awesome. Did you notice any difference in the amount of wind noise in your helmet after changing the windshield on your F3?

Ryker is more fun but the Spyder is so much more comfy!

Thanks mate love the Red 👍👍🇦🇺

Good review. Nice opening wheel photo. The Ryker fits you like a glove. But with all your touring the F3 is a great second bike.

Great video , was worried you would no longer talk about the ryker ... since your new bike , I love my Ace900 2021 all modified , I don't take long trip so its perfect for the 2 -3hours rides around the area and Iike to do all kind of mods on it , I don't think I could do as much on the spyder .

I love your videos!! So informative and you did an excellent job of breaking down each bike. I was interested in getting a Ryker Rally for the longest time. Recently I’ve changed my mind to the F3 limited. I love all the storage, and from many videos I’ve seen, it seems to ride really smooth. I was curious, I’ve seen people talking about you should upgrade the sway bar and links on rykers. Should this be applied to the F3 limited also? I would definitely be looking into taking some long trips. Keep the videos coming. 👏🏾👏🏾

Hi I just got a Ryker 900 rally sport Ace I have seen a lot of your videos looking to do the a few upgrades 1 is the string for the power assisted two in the market. I’ve seen both videos that you’ve done each one. What is your best recommendation for this one?

? I purchased the 'short reach' bars for my RTL22 but the key pins on the center clamp and the hand grips did not allow the bar to 'pull back' to the rider but put them shoulder height so I settled for the stock bar on 2 inch riser. I'm only 2 inches taller than ye. Now my step son just acquired a 2015 F3-S with 7500 miles on the odometer, so I think I will get some F3 time.

Love the comparison video, it really helps. Would you comment on the heat. I've seen a few videos referring to the motor heat on a RT, but not much about the F3 or Ryker.

I have a question since you own a spider. I’m looking at a preowned 2021 Can-Am spider F3 limited with 1300 miles on it and I better off to buy a new one or a preowned and what is the yearly maintenance cost on Can-Am spider they are asking $ 24,499 they also have a 2022 same price a little over 3000 miles that one is preowned too. I’d really appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

Nice! Great job explaining difference.

F3 had my shoulders hurting afterwards doing a demo ride. My lower back was hurting too. Rt for me only

Great video thanks for doing the comparison enjoyed watching ride safe

Have you trailer the F3 yet on your Utility Trailer? I went to a trailer place and my F3 dragged on the nose of the F3 once the wheel got on the ramp it was fine. Just wondered if you experienced this. Thanks

It’s possible to do a review to know the difference between Spyder RT limited VS Spyder F3 limited

Thank you so much. You give a ton of good information!😊

Hi Beth- I keep looking at the F3 Limited and I’m wondering how the maintenance compare with the Ryker? So far my Rally is easy to maintain and trouble free. I would imagine it’s a bit more challenging for oil changes, etc and I guess there must be maintenance on the belt as well on the F3?

Hello Beth I gave a question about the spider license plate.....how do you put the plate on? Do you have a video

New sub! Thanks for you're breakdown is great. Wish i got a ryker instead of my 300cc cfmoto sport bike. I hate it lol.

I’m looking for a wrap of a 2022 F3 Limited but it don’t have to be a total wrap would you suggest website for me please please

Do the F3 handlebars adjust forward/back like the ryker's do?

Becky I got a question how did you add those spot lights on the side of your Can Am Ryker frame?

Man it’s still hard to figure out which one I want to get !😊

How’d you feel about the F3T, what were the pros and cons between it and the Limited? Great video by the way.

I just subscribed, just good info’s…Beth are you happy with the brake pedal angle? I’ll be going for the F3S and am 6’4” and I think the angel is just to steep , anatomically….and would want it flater.. I heard on the ryker you just push the arm of the pedal toward the bike and can change the angle… but the spyder you have to add the linkage… what is your take on the pedal angle? would love to know what color they will decide on 2024 F3S… the blue frame was on fire for 2023… but the yellow didn’t go over that great….in Europe.

Great representation.thank you for the video. Im planning to get a ryker this year. In my facebook i am a member of ryker page even though i dont have a ryker yet.i always see posts from the ryker owners they have lots of bad issues with their bike. Is it worth it to get one? Does ryker have a high cost maintenance?

I love the ryker. What windshield & phone mount do you have. I love your tutorials.

We have both..love em.❤

Dammit Beth, now I want both! LoL!

On the Ryker...do they have saddle bags for both sides or just the one side?

Good job, a lot of information.

J’ai un spyder F3 Limitée et super

Power steering?

Thank you for posting

I have a F3. Is it OK to do donuts in on a dusty back road or can you even do donuts or it won’t let you. 😊

Hi mom i hope you make a video abute the roller clutch in ryker ❤❤

Great video!

So either the ryker you will have to stop for gas every hour?

Where are Florida do you live? I live in The villages.

Nice bike, I got the exact same one 😊

Awesome Video

Nice video !

Well explained 👏

CAN-AM CALLS ONE A SPYDER, THEN THE RYKER SHOULD BE CALLED THE SCORPION! because it is Black like an Emperor Scorpion and the body design makes it look like a SCORPION.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Seems like 100% of the Ryker riders ditch them for the Spyder. 100%. It's always a matter of time. It will happen. 100%. Just FYI. Let me know if that isn't true.

:)

Still owe so much on my Ryker Rally otherwise I would pick up a spyder in a heartbeat
