Yeah, I've heard that Spyders are really cool and fun to ride 😊😂 I would also add that if you want to buy a Goldwing, then don't test ride a Spyder. My lifelong dream bike was a Goldwing, and I almost bought one... but I got bit by a Spyder 😉👍👍
For my birthday which actually is in 3 weeks a 2023 xan am spyder f3, my first bike, received my motorcycle petmit and taking my 3 wheel class starting this monday.😊
Great video. Was looking a video on the 2025 Sea to Sky. My wife came bye an said when you getting one, so we can ride together again. My blood pressure jumped 10 points. Hopefully there will be one in the garage in the spring.
I may be impartial I like my 2019 Spyder RTL in chrome It looks better to me. but like you said it's subjective. My running boards are plenty big enough. I do like the new dashboards. You're 2019 probably has a few more miles than that sea to sky that will definitely change the way the bike feels. The way toys depreciate you have to ride them to the wheels fall off. Great video coach Bob
Hi CB3, brilliant comparison. I have to say I'm not keen on the Gen3 frontal, it just looks like they ran out of ideas, but I like the 'fangs' in front of the radiators. The Gen2 with the pointed front just looks right, and with the radiators more out there. The Gen2 dash looks nicer compared the mono tone Gen3, also I not keen on the touch screen when you are driving give me nice ordinary buttons. It's good that they have put a USB for the driver to connect to. Pricing here in New Zealand is NZD$51,634 + ORC* for a 2023 RT Sea 2 Sky. Used prices vary from NZD$18,000 - $40,000. I have a 2011 Spyder RS, and about to buy a 2015 F3-S.
Thanks Coach I think you did your usual great job on the comparison. Linda and I have a 2018 RTL and I had the opportunity to experience a great demo ride on a 2024 Sea to Sky like your loaner. I noticed the difference in smoothness you mentioned. Quicker response for sure. Love the new style and rear storage. I held off so far due to all the issues they have had with CarPlay. I hope you’ll do a video on how you set that up and your impression. Do love the new dash. Praying things are better health wise for you and your daughter. Going thru some major issues with Linda ‘s brother right now so understand how these issues affect the family. God Bless Ray & Linda, Ocala. Hope to see you and Coach Vic soon. We had a great time with John & Miriam and Jodie and Tommy G at John’s meet up. Missed you guys but certainly understand.
Ray, we were so happy to meet you-and Linda! 🤗💜 That was so much fun! Yes, Coach Bob... You and Coach Vic were definitely missed! 😔🙏 You know, Ray... I thought my 2018 F3 is perfectly smooth until I took the 2023 F3 for a test ride...😅... I too thought it was smoother and more responsive. There was definitely a difference.
I bought a 2021 Ryker this summer. I am having a blast on it. Hope to trade in for an RT either early fall of 2025 up to spring of 2026. Hoping to find a 2024 during that time with a decent price since the 2026 models will be out, we will see if the financial realms allow this to work out or not. Loving g my Ryker and so glad I did it. But I want to do some extended long distance touring I can do it on the Ryker 900. But I think for that would prefer the RT.
Glad you liked your Black Hills ride, Bob. My wife Nanci and I live in Sioux Falls and western South Dakota is our favorite, although we rode to the Grand Titons this summer. We want to ride several of the National Parks (Bryce, Zion and Grand Canyon) in 2024. However, we want to trailer our bike to Denver first. What do you recommend for trailering a 2020 Can Am RTL 1,300 miles? We know you trailered your bike to the Black Hills and perhaps you've formed an opinion.
I am using a SureTrac trailer made for atv's and motorcycles. It has served me well. It is a flat open trailer that I use for everything (moving furniture, trips to the dump, hauling motorcycles). For that reason it is the perfect trailer for me. I really like the "Sting" trailer for its size and stow away style..but, I wanted something I could use year round for everything.
What I want to know will the 2020+ hold all my camping equipment and my clothing bag? Surprisingly yes just my 1-2 person tent, and the inflatable bed needs to be attached to the clothing bag which will rest in the passenger seat area but it does it. Mind you this is just for solo and not couples.
Hi Coach! Hope all is going well with ya!!! 😎 Great job in your comparison! Like you said “another one in the books!!” Hope to talk to ya soon! My 2 cents for the ‘24’ 1) great Floorboards 2) Large easy to read display! (And FINALLY Apple CarPlay) 3) Reverse button on right and shift on left works well 4) Lit controls on handlebars and lastly 5) No antenna to contend with! But not limited to!…🤣🤣🤣
Hey Coach Bob, great job on the comparison between the two models. You brought up some interesting points. I have a 17 RTL I love it, it has been a great Spyder with 37000 now on the odometer and no problems whatsoever. But I do like the newer models too and am looking at upgrading to a 2023 model next spring. Hope you get to keep the 24 S2S , I know it is your dream Spyder ryde 😀 Ryde safe and God Bless Artie
If it will fit also depends on the size of the helmets. I have a 2x and 3x helmets. On my 22 RTL one of my helmets fits in the frunk and one in the trunk. None fits in the saddlebags.
Had a 2018 RTL and traded up to the 21 Sea To Sky. The 21 is way more comfortable for me. I used to have trouble with leg cramps particularly in my right leg. No such problem with the 21. Also find the seat to be more comfortable on the 2- but that may be because it is the Sea to Sky model. I am interested in how the Canyon will be for comfort and ryding
I have a 24 RTL and am shocked that you can’t get decent passenger arm rests for it. The Can Am ones leave a gap at the rear of the arm rest. Unacceptable to me. I saw an after market set that mounts to the tour pack but that has mixed reviews about them loosening up all the time. Hopefully someone will come out with something decent.
Additional question. I just went over 30,000 miles. Had the big tune up. However, just had the Canbus give a warning. Was advised, if it went the bike would probably run, but I wouldn't have a dashboard. Have you run across this in your tr avels.
I have a 2018 RT Ltd. The Sea to Sky looks like the rear seat (passenger) looks a little more elevated above the driver seat. True or just optical illusion?
The exposed engine look on the newer model is created by a cheap piece of plastic, lol! As a matter of fact, all the plastic body panels on the newer models is by far cheaper and softer than on the Gen1s and 2s. I have owned a 2014, a 2020 and a 2019 RT Limited. I sold the Gen3 2020 and went backwards to the Gen2 2019 as the 2020 was an absolute piece of crap. So many issues I gave up on it. To me the Gen2 was/is a superior made machine with better quality.

Definitely a difference in smoothness is what i noticed when I test rode the 2024's... BRP sure knows how to give test rides! 😁
Hello coach Bob, please be safe with the storm headed your way. Looks really nearly. You and Vic please be safe. 😊
Hope you and your family survived the weather damage🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hope to see you Both in Delands Rally
Thank you
I really like the way you explain the new verses old and I hope to buy a RT someday

Always love your videos coachbob. Always honest about the ride and how everything is.

Love my’20RTL
I like the self adjusting air system... Until it doesn't work 😅

Good for you, Artie! 🤗💜
If it will fit also depends on the size of the helmets. I have a 2x and 3x helmets. On my 22 RTL one of my helmets fits in the frunk and one in the trunk. None fits in the saddlebags.
For my wife and I we have Shark modular helmets (XL & M). We’re able to get both helmets in the rear trunk. None in the saddlebags.
Thank you very much for the quality video!
Great comparison. I learned a lot. Can’t wait to see how these machines develop in the future, beyond 2025.
Had a 2018 RTL and traded up to the 21 Sea To Sky. The 21 is way more comfortable for me. I used to have trouble with leg cramps particularly in my right leg. No such problem with the 21. Also find the seat to be more comfortable on the 2- but that may be because it is the Sea to Sky model. I am interested in how the Canyon will be for comfort and ryding
Jim, would love to test ride the canyon!
@@PurpleOnThree I look forward to THAT review!!
Awesome coach, loved the video
I noticed my 2023 limited doesn't sound as smooth or as quiet as a gold wing or other types of motorcycles it seems pretty noisy
Do you have links or information on the mounts you used for your Garmin?
I have a 24 RTL and am shocked that you can’t get decent passenger arm rests for it. The Can Am ones leave a gap at the rear of the arm rest. Unacceptable to me. I saw an after market set that mounts to the tour pack but that has mixed reviews about them loosening up all the time. Hopefully someone will come out with something decent.

Oh no! Hope you can get that fixed 🤔
I have a 2018 RT Ltd. The Sea to Sky looks like the rear seat (passenger) looks a little more elevated above the driver seat. True or just optical illusion?
True from our demo ride last August. Wife noticed she could see better it was a s2s 2024.
@@rayhjohnson thanks
Been thinking of buying a spyder. What do you think about ‘23 vs’24? A dealer near me has a left over new ‘23 RT Limited for $5k off.
25 with a backup cam.. But I have short arms and don't think I would enjoy reaching for the screen to mute my audio book! on the 24 +
DANIEL N. M. I. TIPTON, I DID NOT HEAR YOU SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE POWER STEERING BEING DIFFERENT ON THE 2024 THAN THE OTHERS
😊
done did it. My wallet hates me! 2024 sea to sky now in driveway agree on the space terms. Dosnt mean a thing to me.
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🤗🤗🤗💜💜💜

You gonna be over in Dayton in october
buy used and save the money. New ones are not worth it at this point.
At 17:24, wonder what Coach Vic thinks…😮
