that's right, even though i said i didn't like the looks of the f3, i have to eat my words. i just bought the f3s SM6 in the pure magnesium color scheme!! no slingshot this year, the f3 was just too much to resist! still not sure if i like the looks of the front end, but as i've heard, "you can't see it when you're sitting in the saddle!" pictures to follow!! see you all at spyderquest!
