Can Am must have finally realized to get more Spyders on the road, they have to make them more affordable. Not everyone has, or wants to spend, $30,000 on a motorcycle.
I have the same as You and to me the sm6 Manual is tedious shifting compared to my old 2012 RT sm5 where I could hit 60 in 2nd gear?
I still Love my 2015 Fs because I spent $$ to get Yellow Panels BUT if a Great New Simple, Cheap, Alternative Comes out I might just Buy- But it will be Paddle Shifting If I buy again!

F3 S. If nothing else you get the cruise control the base F3 doesn't have (I think the front shocks are an upgrade too). The rear shock sucks (thanks BRP!) no matter what.

F3 base model
I vote for the F3 base. Why? I have one. You can build on it. I don't see any reason to "trade up." Trade up to what? Higher payments? I installed blinking fender lights, the occasional 2 up shock, fog lights, the belt tensioner, LED lights. With the Easy Brackets, I have choice of a slew of bags. Why go through that all over again?
