Excellent article. He makes it sound like the holy grail of bikes, or is it roadsters.

Did you check out the few comments after the article? You can see even the F3 will be a hard sell to those on 2 wheels.

You have to remember, most folks try to "put down" what they don't understand, or are too afraid to give it a try. Nice, honest article, in my book.

And I will add, we need to send him a"correction" on the color stated... It's called, "Can-Am Red!"

I thought the article was good and may get some who are not faint of heart to at least try it out.
Well done WSJ.

The dealer in Ruckersville Virginia encouraged me to test ride a F3 while waiting for an oil change for my 2014 RT. What a blast. I only had my shorty helmet with me and of course the F3 had no windshield. Lots of wind, loved it. The bike is much lower than the RT which feels more like a motorcycle. The exhaust sound got me all pumped up while going through the gears. It must be lighter than the RT because it felt like it was alot faster. The best oil change wait I've ever had. If you RT owners want a good rush, test drive an F3 if you get a chance.

Hi skeetshooter,

Re: http://www.wsj.com/articles/can-am-s...ide-1437761981

To each his own. I did not think that it gave a very rood review of the F3. He says that BRP has sold over 100,000 Spyders; well, we know that is not true because of the facts in the recall.

I have been reading this guy's articles on autos for over a year and have decided that he knows little about them. And I disagree on a number of things in almost every article he has written.

Different strokes for different folks; maybe he writes for the uber-rich,

Is there some easy to find link to the recall in question that gives a figure for the sales of RS, ST, RT, and F3. I've never actually seen a figure other than the guesstimate of a few members.

By the way, when I say an article is excellent, I'm talking in terms of understanding what is being said. I certainly never base my decision on buying based on what I consider a well written article. Most things in an article can be biased.

So funny to read the negative comments on the ads Can Am puts on Facebook...we are a bunch of disabled hooligans that are affraid of curves, but not stealing electric shopping carts from Walmart(that being said, some don't want to judge). By the way...we mainly get in the way of Harley's?

These are tricycle's. They can scare you if you ride them to their potential.

Nothing wrong with a tricycle, i know my wife loves hers and she will not trade it for a 2 wheeler, kinda kick my self in the rear for not actually riding the F3 at the Galveston demo, its kinda growing on me..

RE: 100,000 's. There was a big to do about the delivery of the 100,000th recently. It was presented to a customer on stage with BRP and Lamont present I believe.

At Spyderfest 2015. There are pics of it in Lamont's photo gallery.
