Who plans to trade?
Just wondering who plans to trade their ST for the new F3? Why or why not? And when?

I'm planing to do so, if the handling on curves is easier. When, is the minute I feel the difference in curves. Mine is STL 2014.

Since We just bought Stephanie her 2013 STS on Friday we should stay with it for a while

NO TRADE HERE
I really like the concept of the F3 but I have to agree with Flamingobabe I paid a lot of money for my STL love the looks love the performance it took longer than it should have but it is running so darn good that I am just going to enjoy this fantastic machine for a while.
I have refrained from riding the new 1330 just like I will resist riding the F3 cause then I would just have to have one.
not to mention taking a huge hit on a trade in. I am hoping that with the satisfactory fixes on the 2013 ST models that they will now hold their value better for those that do want to trade for an F3

ST - S.....love the machine....way it rides.....not interested in changing.....

The F-3 is kind of aimed at a different market, than the ST series of bikes.
I don't see many of you guys jumping the fence for it...

I kinda Like them (F3)
But I dont think they will suit my riding style. I am kinda agressive and like to attack the corners. I dont think the riding position is suited for that. Plus it dont look to comfortable for my passenger.

Nope
Anyone thinking about trading in their ST for the F3 better look long and hard at the prices, to build one similar to the currant ST-Limited with the upgraded suspension, and all the options, you're looking at $34K, go online and build one yourself with all the options your current bike has, you'll be shocked at the prices

I'll wait until the 2016 F3's come out. No way BRP is going to catch me buying another 1st year product.

Your advice is good for those that are very conservative. And yes, there have been a few people that got "bit" on their first year purchases. I cannot fault you on that.
The 1330 ACE engine has worked out very well. Beta tested by lots and lots of happy customers. That engine, coupled with a lighter frame, lots of open area for cooling...I would not hesitate even though the F3 is a "first year" product, this time around.
I am one that has had good luck with my 2008 first year, 2010 first year RT and the new 2014 with the ACE 1330.
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.
Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)
MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles
IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

Already ordered my F3 from my dealer. Supposed to be here March/April. I will put my ST SM5 up for sale in January and hopefully it will be gone before the F3 arrives. I still have the RSS that my partner rides, so don't have to worry too much about no Spyder if it sells quick.
I have a few extra bits on my ST, as I seem to replace my Spyder every 12-18 months, I don't throw too much extra on them, it makes them attractive for resale, but realistically it doesn't get you much more when selling.
I did a build on the BRP USA site for the F3 I want with only a backrest and Screen as extras and it was around US23k. With conversion rate etc.. I will be expecting to pay somewhere around NZ33k
We now have His and Hers Spyders.

Love mine!
My STS has 1500 miles, has the new panels and nice get up and go.....I am not interested in trading to F3. If cruiser style was your thing at one time you may like the F3 but sport riding is what I like.

Zero interest in the F3 trade, simply don't like the looks of it at all.

Need to test drive one first!
I have a yellow/black 2008 GS that seems to get faster every time I ride it. The first thing I did to mine was to change out the exhaust. I went with a Micron pipe, and it sounds MEAN! I'd have to change the F3's exhaust out also, from the sound on the F3 adds, it sounds too much like a sewing machine! The new look kind of grows on you. Can't wait to test ride one!

A comfortable cruiser ride, great looks and sound - especially whats under the hood. I am sold and so is Hubby !!!

Is Hubby finally going to end up on "Three"?
Well - he will end up on three if I let him ride it !!!
