I got my first motorcycle in 1970 and have logged nearly a million miles on dirt, street and racetracks. I spent much of my life working at and eventually owning a dealership. I've won three national roadracing championships, toured most of the country and depended on motorcycles for my primary transportation for much of my life.
Ten years ago I busted my foot off on a freak martial arts accident have have not been able to ride much sense. The F3 solves all my problems and is a great option for me. My problem is I don't want to give up on riding motorcycles and I'm afraid once I get one I'll never go back. I have read through the 31 pages on the F3 hoping there would be enough whining and complaining to talk me out of it but NOOOOO. All y'all want to talk about is how awesome it is and how much you love it.
Can I please get some bad news so I can save twenty grand and keep my dream of riding a motorcycle again one day alive???

Most F3 owners can't handle the wind while ryding so they go out and get some monstrous windshield or windshield extension that IMO*** kills the looks of the F3.
If you are one of "those" types that has to have a windshield then you should save your $$$. This way, there will be one less ugly F3 rolling around.
<I'm only joking ppl don't trip. If you want to ryde an ugly F3 I don't care.>

If you want someone to tell you that the F3 sucks, I think you need to go to a Harley forum . . .

Really... it's awesome and you'll love it too! In fact, it's so awesome that I bet you'll love it so much that you won't dream about riding a motorcycle again. You'll be dreaming about all the places you can go on your F3.
We now have His and Hers Spyders!
Current Spyder: White 2015 F3-S SE6
His Spyder: White 2015 F3 SE6
Only have had two issues and both have been talked about before, vibration in the 68 to 72 mph range and for me only I guess, heat issues,, where the hot air hits my feet, ankles, and calfs. But I still love it. Have over 6200 miles on it since Feb. Best ride for my bad back, longest trip about 1400 miles in 7 days.
I get lots of smiles per mile, hope this helps you out.

TOMMY;
I HAVE SOME 'BAD NEWS' FOR YA.....
IF (WHEN) YOU BUY ONE, YOU WILL NEVER HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO RIDE AS MUCH AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO.... AND THAT'S A 'VERY BAD' THING.... WE ALL HAVE THIS PROBLEM... EVEN THO I'VE LOGGED 11,000 MILES OF SMILES ON MY NEW F3-S SINCE THE 1st OF MARCH, I'M STILL NOT SATIFIED... SO GO BUY ONE, AND BE MISERABLE LIKE THE REST OF US.....

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, Tommy, but you really won't miss the 2-wheeler that much if you get an F3! Sorry!
I have ridden for over 50 years and know how you feel.I have to agree tho I don't own an F3 but an RT. I have ridden an F3 and it was so much fun if I were single I would have traded on the spot. Now having said that,there is no reason you can't have both a 2 wheeler and a Spyder. Life is short,things change, go for it.

...........and for a topic of conversation my friend Seth was the first World Speed record holder ( @ Bonneville salt flats ) with a Spyder GS........annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd He is also Physically Challenged........Although He and I would both challenge that TERM for Him.........His user name here is SethO......................Mike .....
I have a Harley and an F3. When I want to cruise, and be mellow, and slalom some twistiness, I take the Harley. I do love my Harley.
When I feel mischievous and want to turn and burn... well, that is F3 territory. A friend of mine with a GSXR 750 once asked me to stop hitting it so fast when the light turned green because his pesky front wheel kept trying to go airborne if he tried to keep up.
Y'all Aren't Helping Me At All!!
