    Default Waiting for Lamonster's commentary on the F3 and the rest of the 2015 line up?

    Usually we would have had read all the down to earth details on the new releases by now.

    The pictures and web site are nice, but I'm still waiting for the "meat and potatoes" always provided from Lamont.

    Looking forward to reading his take on the F3 and his customization ideas as well as thoughts the new RS, ST and RT models.

    Ryde Safe,

    His comments about the F3 are already on record: he digs them!
    I suspect that the changes in the other models are pretty minor... there just may not be a lot to talk about. (Other than the newcolor schemes)

    I stopped waiting for what Lamonster had to say when the 2013 ST came out and a lot of people got stuck with a 20+ paper weight.

    Well i happen to like my 2013 paper weight. have not had no problems with it so far. got close to 10,000 mile, now the tire has about had it but compared to some, guess the mileage is not that bad compared to some. i do have to cat bypass that will be put on next week. never felt the heat was that bad but i do not like all that heat next to the gas tank. steam coming out of the tank at fill up's scare the crap out of me.
    If you are happy with your ride fine, just keep your opinions of others to yourself.

    well given the video where Lamonster is given free use of a new Spyder F3 it just shows, how objective would he really be?

    And there are other spyder forums if I got the boot, no worries

    I, for one, am waiting for an independent review of the F3 from someone not associated with BRP. No offense to Lamont who I think the world of.

    We do get the good, the bad, and the ugly here. That is what keeps the site interesting.

    I am guessing there will not be a repeat of what happened in 2013. Many lessons were learned, I am sure.

    Not to worry. We have one person who kept slamming Lamont when he first came on, and periodically still does, and he's still here. I understand what you're saying; but, if he has had no problem during his short usage, you can't expect negatives.

    I think Lamont did acknowledge at some point that his 2013 was very hot...something you probably don't know until you ride it enough and the weather gets warmer.
