    Default Has the F3 changed?

    I have a 2015. I see there are new colors, but what about mechanical changes to improve it?

    I haven't seen any mechanical changes per se. There is some software that has changed that allows you to select "sport" mode for more shenanigans.... But other than styling (read: colors) I don't see much difference...

    I put 27000 miles on my 2015 F3 and have over 30000 miles on the 2016 F3T.. I like the extra storage space on the 2016 but still believe the street/cornering performance was slightly better with my 2015

    They reinforced the frames, gave it some computer upgrades (Hooligan Mode!), now offer some touring models with upgraded shocks, and some BNGs...

    The New Base 100hp Model is 16,999 But 18,500 with SE6? Has the same Torque Numbers and would be Great for people who can't Really speed in their State!

    Default horsepower

    I am not ready to buy the HP rating - check the rpm's for power rating.
    My 2 cents worth!

    When BRP did the release in August there was a Y-Tube video put out by BRP that explained the upgrades but for some reason the video has been deleted. Some of what I remember was a new DPS unit for all models saying it would be much smoother, the rear sprocket was being changed to 79 tooth (I think) to be the same as the RT and the frame was being strengthened due to the top case being added to the F3L. I wish that video was still available.
