Pate I was out today. It was 48 degrees but sunny and the coupe was ready to roll. Top off, heaters on. No seat heat. Mr and Mrs had a great day in the country.
Its a cool 3wheeler also. I just like the slingshots more for some reason. Although you see more slingshots in the shop compared to vanderhall. Those vanderhalls are tight on space. The slingshot is more spacious.
@@c8pate744 I agree with your characterization that the Slingshot is a more of a convertible car than a trike and that is true for the Vanderhall in my opinion.
the largest issue I have with the slingshot is getting in and out of it. if your young it's no issue, but as you age it gets harder to "put on" your vehicle. the ryker is very easy to hop onto. I love my 22 ryker rally its a fun toy. I try to ride it often. it makes a quick trip to the grocery store fun. the slingshot I would take 5 minutes to get in and out of, I tried it at the dealership, I'm just not as young and capable as I once was
Hey I love your enthusiasm! I have all three, all mint condition all of them black. It is an endless hobby and I love it. 2018 Slingshot, bought new, 2019 Ryker Rally, bought new, 2016 Spyder RSS 5 speed manual, bought in 2019 only 1200 miles on it.
I have another question maybe you can answer. I’m not a motorcycle rider but I have grown up riding Atv three wheelers and four wheelers. I’ve been riding atvs since the Honda came out with the Big Red three wheeler in the early 80s. I’m just now thinking I might want of these type of three wheel bikes you had in this video for the street. My question is do you know anyone that has changed the throttle control from being the twist handle style you see on every motorcycle to the push thumb style you find on a Atv and what would be the safety issue with doing that? To me it seems like it wouldn’t be as easy to accidentally accelerate the bike with a Atv style push thumb style throttle control compared to the handle grip style if I were in the process of loosing control of the bike but maybe that’s just because it’s what I’m used to using.
I just purchased the SL Slingshot added paddle shifters and I'm finding it a ton of fun 🎉 the color is Midnight Blue with a deep metal flake , very happy with my purchase 😊
Thanks, nice video. I had a 2019 Ryker 900 ACE but it didn't give me the level of ride I was looking for so I traded it in on a 2018 Spyder RT Limited. As expected, the difference between the two is day and night so it would be pretty unfair of me to try to compare the two. They are two totally difference machines offering two totally different rides.
@@c8pate744 There are a couple of things I like about the Spyder. Storage: I like being able to ride to the store and do some grocery shopping. Granted it won’t hold a shopping cart full of groceries, but it will handle the essentials, without the need for wearing a backpack. The Spyder has enough storage to easily hold my modular helmet and riding jacket while I’m in the store so I don’t have to drag half my gear around with me. Plus it can hold the essential tools that should be part of any ride to handle minor repairs. Handling: At sixty nine years of age, I really enjoy the Dynamic Power Steering of the Spyder. I don’t have to muscle through the twisties. The ride is also incredibly smooth. Another big plus for me was the actual cruise control. I had installed an Atlas Throttle Lock on my Ryker and it worked well enough, but not near as well as the Spyders. The audio kind of sucks, but I listen to my music through my Bluetooth headset, so it’s not a big deal for me. Riding Position: I find that sitting a little higher up and being on a larger machine adds to my visibility to other drivers, and I think it enhances my safety. But I never lose sight of the safety riding tip “Ride like you’re invisible.” But my biggest, most important reason for upgrading from the Ryker to the Spyder was my Sweetie. I had a lot of great adventures on my Ryker, we went all over hells back acre together, putting a little over 12,000 miles the first year. But I wanted to share those adventures with my wife. However, there was no way she was ever going to get on the back of a Ryker. She just did not feel comfortable or safe. Now we ride together quiet a lot, and are having a great time.
Great info. I love this. I needed it to decide. I'm a lady about 165lbs and I was wondering if I could away with the Ryker 600, but I guess it's better go with the 900 🤷
I put a deposit down on the 2022 rally I haven’t seen it in person yet …. But my advice to everyone is it’s probably safer to switch out the sway bar before they start building the bike straight out the crate mabe……this would be good for content
I came from Harley's (and years of metrics) to a Can Am F3 Limited. I'd like to have a Ryker for the local fun factor but not for touring. Plus I'm old and that Ryker is really low to the ground (remember the "I've fallen and I can't get up commercials"? lol). The Slingshot really a sports car in my opinion. I know many states recognize them as motorcycles and my state makes you wear a helmet with them. Good video man.
I hear you about the ryker. Took a four hour ride out of town on one and had a blast the first 1 hour or so but a more touring bike would have really made it a more comfortable ride. Thanks for the watch and comment brother. Hope you subscribed and stay tuned in.
Bro , few sexiest remarks, the 600 isn’t just for the ladies , some of us are on budgets and can’t afford the bigger bike due to the price of the much needed accs , the Back harness is called the max mount and as far as all the music and the lights led , buy a car . Keep the Ryker bare , it’s how the factory designed it or buy a Spyder . Your pricing and everything is American based , which straight away , you forget we are a international group of Ryker riders . Base your videos on world not just USA and your subscriptions will rise
Okay you are right about the 600 part. I didnt really think about your view point on it. I respect and agree with a lot of your view points. Thank you for watching and giving solid comments about my video. You stayed to the points in the video and didn't attack with name calling or other personal garbage. I appreciate that

I just brought the 2022 Ryker Rally
What state do you live in? Have you had a chance to ride it? How do you like it so far?
And have you ever owned a riker before the 2022?
I have a 2019 ryker
I got the 2022 Ryker 900 sport coming in March.
Okay I see you! What made you go with the sport?
I just got mine this morning.
@@kokobean240 okay I see you! Let's get it!
@@c8pate744 The upgraded shocks, max mount, higher power. Adding a ton of stuff from dealer. Still thinking a bout which seat and upgrading sway bar.
@@jbussard316 that comfort seat is awesome!
Wow those are some nice upgrades

Okay you are definitely talking my language. What was it? C8?
@@c8pate744 yep. Bought the car on Halloween first time I had the top off.
@@thereissomecoolstuff awesome bro!
I’m looking at both the Spyder F3 and Slingshot SL
Let me know which one you decide to get
I put my black F3 Special on order last October. I can't wait!!!
I see you my guy! What state are you in?
@@c8pate744 Michigan
@@c8pate744 you have to check out that Black and Blue F3 S the frame is like a smurf blue. It's cold!

Thank you for checking in on this one
Slingshot nothing but a car nice though !
I hear ya
I would get the spyder f3. Then add lights and stereo. And go from there
Coming soon
Pate, what is your opinion on the Vanderhall trikes?
Its a cool 3wheeler also. I just like the slingshots more for some reason. Although you see more slingshots in the shop compared to vanderhall. Those vanderhalls are tight on space. The slingshot is more spacious.
@@c8pate744 I agree with your characterization that the Slingshot is a more of a convertible car than a trike and that is true for the Vanderhall in my opinion.
@@ducknorris233 for sure! I would just buy a convertible before buying one of those for sure. Especially at some of those price points.

Which has the best gas mileage?
Good question! Im going to look into that and do a video on it

You missed a lot of the F-3 models. Great video for the ones you did cover.
I will go back and research the 2022s again
Slingshot Shot all day
Okay my guy, tell me why?
You forgot all about the Spyder RT Limited, especially Sea to Sky.
Will go check it out now
Your channel is dope ….. can’t wait to see y’all out riding this season
We will do it big in 2022! Tons of events and tons of trips. Do you have a motorcycle? What state do you live in?
@@c8pate744 yes Romeoville il 2021 900 keep me posted on the events
What rally or bike you show up on dont mean shit its just what you prefer !
Okay I respect that
Also come from Harleys. I have a 2020 Ryker ace 900. Love it. Gonna sell it to get a new Ryker Sport. I agree with your opinion of the Slingshot.
That ryker sports is definitely a good deal! I really like it alot
I just purchased the SL Slingshot added paddle shifters and I'm finding it a ton of fun 🎉 the color is Midnight Blue with a deep metal flake , very happy with my purchase 😊
Congrats my guy! Im going to start doing more slingshot content. I rented one in Vegas and had some fun
Wait, bikes don't have a steering wheel and roll bars.
I'm dont understand the question
Slingshot all day
Okay I hear you my guy!
ive had both ryker and rt limited and there is no way to compare the 2 of them.apples and oranges
I agree with you. Just depends on the type of ride you want.
👍🏻 been a sub for quite a while now. Just got an F-3S in November. Too cold to ride here in the Midwest but spring is coming!
What color is the f3 bud?
Mine is Gravity Gray.
You didn't bother to talk about the Spyder's top line, the Sea to Sky. Check it out when you can. Enjoyed the video.
Let me check it out now
