I think it's a nice addition to the product line. U-fit technology with enough storage to carry more than a toothbrush. Works for me, though I still like my Fat White Chick more.

BRP was listening
I think BRP did a good job listening to some of the people who purchased a 2015 F3 and wanted more wind protection a stereo system
and more storage all in a package deal not a bunch of add ons that they had to wait long periods of time for after they ordered them.

I like the look of The F3 Limited. I can see it replacing the RT in the future once they have a top bag for it.

Sticker shock
I'm liking the looks of the red F3-T and the white F3 limited. I guess I would think the cross country package would be inclusive in the F3 Limited for that price.

I disagree. There's still going to be a substantial market, I feel, for the RT's riding position.

I traded a 2014 RT for a 2015 F3 and I am a happy camper. While I gave up the storage, I have to say that I prefer the riding posture of the F3. Now, while I do appreciate what BRP is trying to do, address some "wants" from the 2015 model, I have to say that I like my 2015. First, I am NOT a radio listener while I ride, so the audio addition is not my thing. I prefer my 2015 mirrors/module with my F4 windshield vs. the new style, but that is just me. To me, it just looks a little more motorcyclish, if I may use that word. I guess, if the touring model would have been available, I would have considered it. But, as soon as I add the Corbin bags to my 2015, I think I will be happy for quite a while! Now, you folks that DO buy one of the new models, keep those reports comin'!!

An F3-RT should not be a replacement for the existing RT line. I for one cannot get comfortable on a F3, regardless of how it's configured.

All of the F3 T features are included in the F3 LTD package. Add radio, heated grips, floorboards, Shamrock wheels, and some real chrome pieces on the LTD version. And red is good.

I like the fact that the new F3-T and F3 Limited will have a trailer hitch option. This is good news for anyone needing to haul a trailer. I'm not sure though that this hitch will work on all other F3's. The catalog only lists it for the F3-T and F3-LTD.

I think that Lamont mentioned in another thread, that it wouldn't.
I wonder if they also "tightened-up" Nanny's control of the bike, for this addition?

I like the looks of this F3-T. Hope they have some in Daytona this
year for Biketoberfest for demo rides!

I think the F3-T will be a hit with some but I doubt it will replace the RT The RT is made for the long haul, the F3-T is a bagger...a cruiser with more storage. I think there's more than enough market for both. I love the look of the F3 but don't want to give up the storage and long range comfort of my RT.

Seat and windshield are accessories

I was talking about the cross country seat and the windshield being extra cost options, as I understand it. I would have thought that would be standard on the F3 Limited.

I asked someone who should know but have not heard back yet. Did not see the seat in the abbreviated accessory catalog shown so far. There appears to be a taller windshield on the Limited edition.
The Limited is advertised as coming with a "limited" seat. If its like some models in the past--it means that the word "limited" is stitched on the seat. Would bet the Cross Country is $$ extra. What I was trying to find out is how much.

I'll be trading my 2012 RT up for the F3-T as soon as I can work it out financially. It is exactly what I want in a Spyder. Tired of feeling like a geezer on the RT.

Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!
