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!
Thank you for your detailed comment and review. You are 💯 right, the F3 and the RT sit very differently. Your dealership sounds awesome. Thanks for watching! Ride safe, have fun!
@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
Yeah! I had a Ryker and really loved it. I got the F3 because it's supposed to be more comfortable, certainly 2 up. Yes, it is. I'm not as tired after a longer drive. My passenger loves it. I want my Ryker back all of the time. I'm 71, and the F3 is my mount. Give me back my youth! Give me back my Ryker!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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)
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 .
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.
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 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.
That’s true, the key pins don’t allow for any up or down movement. I also added the 2 inch risers. Helped a lot. It’s hard when you have trex arms like me!!
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 💜
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 . Alain & Yellow
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! Great choice getting the F3, knowing you want to do some long trips. Yes the upgraded sway bar works well, especially on the highway and twisties. It is not essential, but it is a nice upgrade. If you are interested pls consider buying from my website: RykerRydes.com ☺️
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.
Hey Beth, thanks for the comparison video between the F3 and the Ryker. Quick question... I have a 2020 RT Limited and am considering getting a ryker to replace it. I am new the the Can-Am world and was considering this because of the feel of the Spyder vs. the Ryker. I like the feel of the Ryker because of the "sitting in" feel vs. the "sitting on" between the two. To me I seem to feel more unstable on the RT vs the Ryker and do not feel as "in control. I know I would be giving up a lot of niceties between the two. BTW I am 6' tall and 250#. Have you had this issue come up before ? I just want to make the right decision or maybe I just need to get used to the on vs. in feeling. Thanks in advance and stay safe !
I’m sorry for the late response, I was out of the country. Before you switch from an RT to a Ryker definitely go try or at least sit on an F3. The F3 seating position is very different than the RT. I like the F3 seating position much better than an RT. That being said, the Ryker sitting position is completely different than both. It’s truly all about preference. If you’re doing a lot of long distance riding then the comforts with the Spyder are essential, but if you’re doing mostly in town riding… quick trips, then the Ryker is so much fun to ride.
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?
I love the look of the sport shield, but the bigger shield definitely is better for wind noise. But nothing is perfect. Be sure you helmet is the right fit too.
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.
The motor heat on the Ryker can get hot, less on the F3 and even less on the RT ( more panels covering the sides to displace the heat). The Ryker is totally exposed. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching.
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?
Hi there. Thanks for the comment. I have only tried the peddle box and it was so fast, I had to remove it. www.rykerrydes.com/product-page/pedalbox-for-can-am-ryker-900-models I also have a video on it.
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?
Sorry for the late reply. As far as maintenance on the Ryker, it’s like a car, costs money for normal maintenance and of course things happen. I do all my own maintenance and teach others, so you can save a lot of money that way. Don’t overthink buying the Ryker. It is awesome! People love to complain, but no one gets on the pages to say “today was day 1,005 without any problems!!
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?
Good question! The maintenance for the Ryker is pretty easy because there are less panels to takeoff. But basically the maintenance is very similar between the Spyder and the Ryker. It isIt’s just a little bit harder to access the items on the Spyder, which makes it a little more challenging. I’ll keep you posted as I do maintenance on the Spyder. Keep watching!
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.
Thanks for subscribing ❤️!! I actually like the position of the brake pedal on the F3. At stop lights, it’s like a very comfortable foot rest. BUT I am a foot shorter than you. I will be selling brake linkage bars that will lower the brake pedal 1.5 inches. Keep an eye on my website: RykerRydes.com
@@RykerRydes Thanks for the Answers… would like to buy parts from back home… but in Germany everything has to have a CE number on it.. and everything you add to the bike has to be written in the Operating license which you carry with you… some lights are forbidden here.. as well.
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.
Yes, a lot of Ryker owners are realizing just how much and how far they are actually riding….then get a Spyder. But there are plenty of diehard Ryker owners that will never give up on the Ryker. Plus the price difference is huge. I LOVE MY RYKER!!
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
I never rode a spyder, But I put the 2 person comfort seat on my ryker from slingmods. It was a very comfortable ride. I did 2000 miles road trip and not once did I get up hurting or sore like the old factory seat.
@RykerRydes no my friend just bought a 2020 spider f3 and I put the Neon lights on.. she just got a temp plate from the dmv and now needs a Vin check...I need to put the plate on the bike 🤷🏼
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.
Hi Paul. As far as buying a pre owned vs new, that’s a very personal question. I always get nervous buying pre owned, unless it’s still covered by warranty. You just don’t know what you’re inheriting. You can always tell if the bike has been loved. For maintenance costs, I would recommend asking your specific dealership. Costs vary so much. Good luck with your decision and welcome to the family!
They are, in essence the same. The special series, like mine just comes with more included: upgraded seat, wheels, floorboards, passenger seat, back trunk etc.
Sorry for the delayed response. Try calling AMR RACING. They will make you whatever you want. I love their quality. Use code RykerRydes to save money. I also have a video on how to wrap.
@@RykerRydes I found them after I left this comment. Thank you so much. I am looking in to purchasing a Ryker and I’ve been trying to get myself familiarized with all of the options for me. ☺️
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.
Yes, a lot of Ryker owners are realizing just how much and how far they are actually riding….then get a Spyder. But there are plenty of diehard Ryker owners that will never give up on the Ryker. Plus the price difference is huge.
@@RykerRydes - I mostly agree, but I guess I mostly say that Ryker riders on UA-cam do that. I haven't seen many who don't move to the Spyder. Maybe it's for the sake of content, but I haven't found one yet. That's all I'm saying. Thanks for the videos, though. Good content. Cheers.
I own both. I love my Ryker for city riding ( it’s like my version of a Ford Mustang), the Spyder is my highway and long trip motorcycle. IMO they are different as a Mustang and a Jaguar! They both satisfy my riding preferences!

And the bigger tank is great to have. It's fun to do all the mods.

Thanks so much Jenny! I love that watch all the in Sweden!!
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.
Absolutely!! Sounds like a beautiful ride, I love it up there!

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
Don’t misunderstand me, I love my Ryker!! It is so much fun to ride. I travel long distances, a lot, so happy to have the Spyder for my trips.
As always thank's for the wonderful reviews!
Glad you like them! More to come!!
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. 😊
You are so welcome! So which one will you get??? 🤔
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.
Glad I could help! It’s a tough choice!!
Great comparison video, Beth. I appreciate the insight on the Spyder!
Glad it was helpful! My pleasure and thank you for watching!!
Your intro is solid!! Love this review! Always love your content. I do like the F3 because it still looks sporty.
I appreciate that! Love that you STILL watch my videos!
On my 2022 Sport (900) I routinely get 300-330KM (186-205 miles) per tank - always in sport mode.
That’s awesome!! Keep doing what you’re doing!
Thanks for your video l have a 900 Ryker Ray from Cleveland Ohio bout to ride shortly have a good day
I love my Ryker too!! Ride safe, have fun!

Yes! The Ryker is awesome and still plan on making Ryker videos. I do so much touring, the Spyder just made sense.
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.
Totally agree! The Ryker was made for me. But the Spyder is so great for my trips!!

I know I would be giving up a lot of niceties between the two. BTW I am 6' tall and 250#. Have you had this issue come up before ?

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.
Thanks for subscribing ❤️!! I actually like the position of the brake pedal on the F3. At stop lights, it’s like a very comfortable foot rest. BUT I am a foot shorter than you. I will be selling brake linkage bars that will lower the brake pedal 1.5 inches. Keep an eye on my website: RykerRydes.com
@@RykerRydes Thanks for the Answers… would like to buy parts from back home… but in Germany everything has to have a CE number on it.. and everything you add to the bike has to be written in the Operating license which you carry with you… some lights are forbidden here.. as well.
I love the ryker. What windshield & phone mount do you have. I love your tutorials.
I use the quadlock: www.quadlockcase.com/
and show chrome windshield: www.rykerrydes.com/product-page/ryker-adjustable-windshield-16-x-21
Thanks I have learned alot from you. I'm still new & enjoying learning to ride my Ryker 900. Thanks again
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.
Yes, a lot of Ryker owners are realizing just how much and how far they are actually riding….then get a Spyder. But there are plenty of diehard Ryker owners that will never give up on the Ryker. Plus the price difference is huge.
I LOVE MY RYKER!!
Thank you so much. You give a ton of good information!😊
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!!
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
To avoid a smoother transition, try putting a piece of wood under the ramp to raise it a bit.
Ryker is more fun but the Spyder is so much more comfy!
I agree 💯
Have done a video on dying wraps
I never rode a spyder, But I put the 2 person comfort seat on my ryker from slingmods. It was a very comfortable ride. I did 2000 miles road trip and not once did I get up hurting or sore like the old factory seat.
Hello Beth I gave a question about the spider license plate.....how do you put the plate on? Do you have a video
Interesting question. The dealership put mine on. Never gave it any thought. Are you buying a new one?
@RykerRydes no my friend just bought a 2020 spider f3 and I put the Neon lights on.. she just got a temp plate from the dmv and now needs a Vin check...I need to put the plate on the bike 🤷🏼
Sorry for the late reply. There must have been predrilled holes? I hope you got it figured out.
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.
Hi Paul. As far as buying a pre owned vs new, that’s a very personal question. I always get nervous buying pre owned, unless it’s still covered by warranty. You just don’t know what you’re inheriting. You can always tell if the bike has been loved.
For maintenance costs, I would recommend asking your specific dealership. Costs vary so much.
Good luck with your decision and welcome to the family!
Man it’s still hard to figure out which one I want to get !😊
Do you plan on doing a lot of touring/long distance riding? Or more zipping around town?
@@RykerRydes I plan on touring, so yeah according to your review on the F3 definitely probably gonna reach out for a spider. Just not sure what model.
Good job, a lot of information.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
How’d you feel about the F3T, what were the pros and cons between it and the Limited? Great video by the way.
They are, in essence the same. The special series, like mine just comes with more included: upgraded seat, wheels, floorboards, passenger seat, back trunk etc.
Becky I got a question how did you add those spot lights on the side of your Can Am Ryker frame?

Beth
It’s possible to do a review to know the difference between Spyder RT limited VS Spyder F3 limited
💯. I am actually getting ready to do that video.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for posting
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
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. 😊
Lol. I’ve never seen anyone do donuts on anything other than a Ryker. Just be careful not to get debris (rocks) in your belt!!! Ride safe, have fun!!
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
Sorry for the delayed response. Try calling AMR RACING. They will make you whatever you want. I love their quality. Use code RykerRydes to save money. I also have a video on how to wrap.
Do the F3 handlebars adjust forward/back like the ryker's do?
No. But can am sells short reach handlebars or you can get risers.
We have both..love em.❤
The best of both worlds!!! Perfect!!
On the Ryker...do they have saddle bags for both sides or just the one side?
Yes, Slingmods sells them. For everything else go to RykerRydes.com ☺️
@@RykerRydes I found them after I left this comment. Thank you so much. I am looking in to purchasing a Ryker and I’ve been trying to get myself familiarized with all of the options for me. ☺️
Dammit Beth, now I want both! LoL!
I know, right!!! Sorry 😂
Awesome Video
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi mom i hope you make a video abute the roller clutch in ryker ❤❤
M O M???
I toking to you as my mother I respect you 💁🏻
@@httanaadnan awww that’s sweet. Thanks for watching!!
Nice video !
Glad you enjoyed it
So either the ryker you will have to stop for gas every hour?
At highway speeds I get 1.5 hours before I need to fill up.
@@RykerRydes 😎
Well explained 👏
Thank you 🙂
Nice bike, I got the exact same one 😊
Good choice!
Power steering?
Only on the Spyders, not the Rykers
Where are Florida do you live? I live in The villages.
I’m just north of Ft. Lauderdale
J’ai un spyder F3 Limitée et super
Beautiful machine!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow!!! Thanks for the 5 star review!!! 😀
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.
I love it!!
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.
Yes, a lot of Ryker owners are realizing just how much and how far they are actually riding….then get a Spyder. But there are plenty of diehard Ryker owners that will never give up on the Ryker. Plus the price difference is huge.
@@RykerRydes - I mostly agree, but I guess I mostly say that Ryker riders on UA-cam do that. I haven't seen many who don't move to the Spyder. Maybe it's for the sake of content, but I haven't found one yet. That's all I'm saying. Thanks for the videos, though. Good content. Cheers.
@@Cowdog1 understood.
Ps Can am gave me my Spyder, of course I accepted!!
@RykerRydes - Right on. I would have, also. Enjoy it. It's going to be fun. Cheers!
I own both. I love my Ryker for city riding ( it’s like my version of a Ford Mustang), the Spyder is my highway and long trip motorcycle. IMO they are different as a Mustang and a Jaguar! They both satisfy my riding preferences!
:)
Still owe so much on my Ryker Rally otherwise I would pick up a spyder in a heartbeat
Yup. Big price difference between the 2. I still love my Ryker!
