Very helpful review for someone undecided about the Ryker or Spyder. Heard one shorter rider say it felt like riding on top of a hippo on the Spyder RT. The Spyder F3 with all its adjustability would be better for shorter riders. We had a Spyder RT for 5 years and loved it riding 2 up. Too bad you didn’t get to test it on the freeway as that is where it really shines. Stable as a rock at high speed, tracks straight as an arrow with none of the Ryker dartiness. Also the cruise control keeps your right wrist from getting tired. Ours had heated grips and seats for cold weather. However when I test drove a Ryker it had a more playful fun factor. Glad you are sticking with yours as we would miss you.

Nice video Ms. Beth. When Can-AM first came out with the Spyder, i really wanted one. Never really looked into it. Fast forward today, Can -AM came out with the Ryker. I thought the Spyders were discontinued and this was a newer version. Lol. I always liked the three wheel concept and since i owned a street bike felt it was more stable and easier to ride. I did finally purchase a 2020 Ryker Rally here in Houston,Tx and i love it. I have to admit i like the new f3 models, but it was out of my price range. Im glad i bought the ryker. No regrets.

The power steering is great but I felt like I was riding it and not driving it as compared to my 19 Rally. I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt like this.

Hey Beth - I totally agree with the others that you skipped right over the F3/F3S to the RT. I’m 6’1 and the seating position of an RT was like riding on top of it instead of in it. With the adjustable legs on the F3 can give you a whole “cruiser” like position. You’re going to eventually want to go further places with your machine and the Ryker won’t give that comfortable feeling long distance. F3-S is definitely the way to go! 😊

I'm vertically challenged too at 5'6". Lamonster garage does make a 1.5" billet aluminum brake pedal riser for the RT that would help out quite a bit for shorter riders. Looks factory too. The RT and F3 are definitely different beasts than the Ryker. I had ridden both before and wasn't really keen on them and knew I wasn't getting on any more 2 wheelers with my physical handicaps. I didn't see them as even an option for me. So when the Ryker came out and I was able to try it, it was love at first ryde. I will say, the 20-21 RT's are much improved over previous years. Thinking about one down the road. Great video Beth

I had the same exact problem when I was took classes to learn how to ride it. The model was a much older one but I still couldn't reach the break pedal properly and I wound up not finishing because they didn't have anything to fit me. (I am 5ft) I would probably have to go to a dealer and check out both the F3 and the Ryker. Great video and fantastic Florida weather for a test ride!!!

Considering how long those things have been on the market there must be a pretty healthy choice of aftermarket parts. I wouldn't be surprised to find out somebody makes a brake extension. (pretty much just pull the rubber cover off the pedal, bolt a spacer block to the top of the pedal, put the rubber cover onto the spacer block) Seems like it would be a pretty simple thing to invent to make a $30k machine more usable.

Nice vid. I loved the feel of the Ryker as you are right, when you sit on it, totally in the pocket. Total solo bike though which you said. Not feasible for me as I do serious touring. The F3-T with the adjustable brake rod with some floor boards makes for nice all day riding. Also, I like the control of the finger/thumb shifting. If I wanted a buzz bike for short day trips, then the Ryker would be a good choice.

Do you know people who ride 2 on Ryker? I would love to know your thoughts. Thanks much again for this video.

This is how I first rode my Ryker. They came over with the truck like the one i see in the video. I wonder if it is the same people. That is how it all started for me in 2019,. Lol.

Beth, I love your honest, informative take on these bikes. I don’t think you mentioned the fact that although you don’t HAVE to downshift, you CAN if you want to. Before buying my ‘22 RTL, I had the opportunity to check out a Sea to Sky. I found that the somewhat plusher seat on the S2S put me up higher than I was comfortable with. My only gripes with my RTL in my 2100+ miles of riding so far is how laggy the throttle response is (Pedal Box, anyone?) and how flimsy the “Tupperware” is on these things. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the F3….

So Shorty Beth what you need do to achieve a good riding position is take a block of wood or metal and attach it to the brake pad and that way you achieve what your aims are to enjoy the Spyder to it fullest capacity. Still in two minds whether or not to buy an F3 here in the UK as my eyes are progressing backwards to blindness and need an operation to counter-act that. But if and when they do give me the go ahead, dammed right I'm buying a Spyder F3 as its reckoned to be the best there is.

I haven't read through all the comments so someone may have answered the question, is there a "Break pedal extension" for the 2021 RT? Yes there is. Its called a Break Riser & it's from Lamonster garage. Custom made billit aluminum piece that raises the break pedal almost 2". I have short legs so i got one & its awesome. It's a super simple DIY mod that's worth every penny.

Nice comparison. I too prefer my Ryker. There is a more connected feel riding it and it just looks cooler to me. I do agree that for distance and 2-up riding, the Spyder is the obvious choice and there is no arguing it has more creature features and is a more plush ride. It's like the difference between a cafe racer/standard bike and a full touring bike/big cruiser. To be honest, if I could afford both, I wouldn't mind owning a Spyder as well for when I want to take my wife or the kids out riding with me.

Ironically I kind of have the opposite opinion in every way. The Ryker looks better imo but the seat on the Spyder is so much more comfortable (I wish I had that). The weight difference and raw (Ryker) vs smooth (Spyder) feeling is also quite different.

Great review. Interesting take on the Spyder. Not too much concern over the size since I have about 16" on you. My concern is that there is possibly not enough legroom.

The USB will only work if the bike is actually running.If it doesn't charge while the bike is on, then it may be disconnected. You will have to disconnect the glovebox/frunk. I show how to do it in my "Glovebox Makeover" video. Hopefully this helps and it is a quick fix.

Wish they had a cruise control for the ryker. Seems like it would be better. Its 10F in kansas right now. Real feel of -6F... 75 would be awesome.

Wow that is cold! I don't think heated grips would be enough. You'd need a heated bike! Yes I would love cruise control on my Ryker. That would be awesome!

Well Beth, as for the brake, surely someone over that side of the pond could make an adjustable add-n brake pad that fits over the exiting one, if you were so inclined but then as I see it , the handlebars need to be tapered back so you in particular are sat more comfortably and therefore enjoying the ride longer. But as for me and my plans to buy a bike, I've been told until I get my eyes fixed (Operated on for Cataracts) then I am not advised to ride 3 wheels over 4. Have you heard from George at Border Ryker of late as he seems to have gone all quiet over here? Cheers for now and stay safe.

Comparatively the Ryker and Spyder RT are very similar to each other (as compared to any bike that leans). That being said, I find the Ryker about twice as exhilarating and dismissed its release because I found the Spyder uninspired compared to standard motorcycles when I test rode one. About a year later I tried a Ryker out and loved it. I've never ridden the F3, but even with just a single test ride- I liked the Ryker so much more than a Spyder. Obviously it doesn't compare when touring or 2-up, but I have a car for that imo.

One thing I noticed on the RT vs Ryker is that in the Ryker - I feel more one with the vehicle... it responds quickly and directly. The RT seems to respond to inputs - the machine is between you and the road. Sort of an indirect feeling of control. Though was VERY comfortable. Fighter plane vs airliner perhaps 😜. Still love the Ryker. But for longer trips would love the RT Btw... did you notice a big difference in noise while traveling on the RT? The Ryker I think is a bit noisier and I’m wondering if RT would be less road noise fatigue? Nice video!

Great comment Steve! "Fighter plan vs airliner" I love that comparison! Yes that is exactly how I felt. I am much more "connected to the Ryker. I did not notice too much noise difference, but I also did not get a chance to go on the hwy with the Spyder.

@alwaysplaythegame

Truthfully all bikes are very loud. For example, adding the small windshield to a Ryker will reduce noise more than going from that Ryker to an RY with a big windshield. Earplugs and/or a well insulated helmet is where most of the noise reduction is at.

The Ryker comes in 600 and 900 engine sizes. The Spyder of any sort comes as a 1330 triple. Given what you've said about your dimensions a 600 or 900 is going to be a struggle both in terms of being able to fit the machine and being able to carry you.

I dont think you'd have any problems with the Ryker so long as you get the upgraded suspension (Rally for instance). You also would likely want the extended solo seat, so be prepared to pay for it ($350 I think). The Spyder and F3 should work well out of the box, but really you should at least sit on both (adjusting the handlebars and foot pedals forward when you do). And I'd also recommend the 900 Ryker, but it would be plenty fast and onlyna touch slower than the F3.

I have never ridden the Ryker as they just didn't appeal to me you have to add too much to them for them to even be used as a commuter bike, but I have driven the rt, and oh man what a ride I might try and get an rt someday but since I'm 62 I doubt it I'm getting at an age where bikes may be a bit much to deal with plus living in Nebraska it still kinda cold to ride.
