NEW MODELS

[bmccaffrey]

I COULD BE WRONG BIT MY GUT IS TELLING ME THAT NEXT YEAR THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOT OF F3 LEFT OVER.

WITH BRP DROPPING THE 998 ALONG ALL THE OTHER MODELS. THINKING THE F3 IS NOT FOR EVERYONE WITH JUST THE 2 MODELS.

JUST MY OPINION :dontknow:

BRP also said they will announce a surprise at homecoming. I'm sure they have something up their sleeve. Could be a new model or a redesign. Just a guess.

[Bob Denman]

[STELLING MAN]

My local dealer said he Is not selling many F-3's at all, most of his sales are for RT'S..

[ARtraveler]

Lots of things to speculate about. The "big" announcement at Homecoming will be interesting. Unless they pull another "Sturgis."

Tick, tick, tick. :bbq::bbq::bbq::bbq::bbq:

[WellsboroSpyder]

Leaning spyder

[Ron2andia]

Electric Spyder..

[nealperkins]

Maybe a 4th wheel...
The possibilities are endless.;)

[spacetiger]

Electric Spyder..

like this possibility

[cyclelover63]

How about $10,000 off coupons for all that attend?:yes:

[WellsboroSpyder]

Duel sport with rod holder and built in tackle box

[missouriboy]

My local dealer said he Is not selling many F-3's at all, most of his sales are for RT'S..Remember, the F3 targeted a younger market segment. But the young are still not ready for three wheels. Too bad!

[armyspydervet]

How about $10,000 off coupons for all that attend?:yes:
Or they could pull an Oprah...You get a Spyder, and you get a Spyder, and you get a Spyder :roflblack:

They are planning to announce that they are initiating a new BRP / Can Am feature, good customer support for all owners at every dealership.

[Bob Denman]

:D You've got four Months to continue to tell BRP how to do their jobs... :roflblack:

Let me know when they actually start paying you!

[armyspydervet]

I think that is all relative to the dealer. My dealer says they can't keep F3s in stock and sales of RTs have slowed. Now mind you, my dealer isn't all that great, but it all depends on what direction they prioritize and push sales.

[Big F]

They're taking over Elio?????:shocked:

/s
that would be good news for me as I have had one on order for over a year or so AND I'm not sure Elio has the financial stability to get to production??????????

Not me. Seriously I hope everyone going to the 10th has a safe and wonderful time.

Make sure you get the commemerative stickers, self adheseive plaque, hat and T shirt.

The 3 dealers near me I talk to from time to time all say the same thing. The RT sells, The F3 doesn't. I believe this to be true in my area anyway because if I see a Spyder on the road most generally its an RT. I might see the occasional RS, F3 or STS but by far the majority of sightings are RT's.

I thought the new model year changes were switched from Sept. to June to better coincide with the riding season? Is that not true?

I know the new model annoucement(s) I'd like to hear but I probably have a better shot at winning the powerball.

Someone said the F3 was released to appeal more to the younger market. I don't believe this to be true. I would say the F3 was released to appeal to the "cruiser" market........hence the cruiser seating position. I don't think the younger market is looking for an F3 any more than it was looking for an RS.

[JAS POWER]

This was in the 2012 sales book...

In 2007, BRP launched its first on-road vehicle. The Can-Am Spyder roadster. A true paradigm shift with its unique Y-architecture. Our passion for innovationcontinues as we work toward developing a future hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). Our goal is dramatically reduced emissions and superior fuel efficiency. We believethat the HEV engine is the way forward for the environment and will bring about another milestone on BRP’s road map toward eco-performing vehicles. Theadvanced concept Can-Am HEV Spyder roadster is once again testimony of BRP’s passion for innovation in the powersports industry.

[Buckeye Bleau]

It would be a small change but, I would suspect that the 2018 F3 will have a retractable windscreen on certain models.

[Bob Denman]

You won't see the hybrid... yet!

This was an exercise by BRP to lock in the technology with some patents... and garner some positive press for being so environmentally conscious... nojoke

[blacklightning]

My only concern is if they were to come out with about 25 more hp than the current models have. Other than that, I am happy with my F3T. As far as the F3 series being for the younger crowd, I doubt it. They seem to be directed towards, and accepted more by the cruiser crowd. Now the RS really seemed to appeal to some of the younger crowd, but now that they are gone, I don't know what their intention is.
As for sales, there is definitely a lot more RT's around in my area than F3 series bikes. I was in a charity ride a couple of weeks ago. There were over 320 bikes of all makes and models. I was the only F3 in the entire bunch. Kind of made me feel special.:D

[cognaccruiser]

My guess is a redesign of the RT model.

[ronrico]

I was talking with the BRP rep at spyderfest. I asked if he could tell me about the big surprise at the Homecoming and of course he could not but he did say that the really big one will be revealed with the new model year. I asked if it would be big enough to make people trade their spyders in on the new model like a lot of people did with the 1330. He said that yes it would be that big. So I take that the homecoming announcement will be just a tease and the real announcement will be in September. Just my take on it.

[Bob Denman]

Over the Summer: keep an eye on the Spy-Shots in the various motorcycle magazines and blogs... :thumbup:
They DID give us pictures of the 2014 RT, and the 2015 F3 quite a bit ahead of the official releases.

[cuznjohn]

someone mentioned a leaner, if they did that with a 1330, i would serious thing about another bike. but i doubt it very much

[Danz28]

For the 2019 RT models the wonderful engineers figured out a way to make you have to the rear wheel out to change a headlamp and the engine will have to come out to change the oil.

[PMK]

Didn't they have the big game changer announcement at Sturgis a couple of years ago.

Seems many people got all excited and speculation was off the wall.

Then they made the big announcement, F3 in Triple Black.

That's crazy talk. Three wheels:roflblack: It will just tip right over.:rolleyes:

[Tazzel]

This is only the 3rd year into the F3 and the 7th year for RTS it will be awhile before they balance out. I use to be the only RS in Group of RT Spyder Riders. A Few weekends ago out of 18 Syders, 5 were F3s, 2 STs and 1 RS. The F3's are getting there. These bikes are to expensive for the younger crowd and they are to expensive for the average interested buyer. They will never take over the market. Why do you think there will be a flood of used F3s on the market? Maybe its the location but in 2 1/2 years I have only seen 1 Used F3 for sale by owner in my neck of the woods. I could not be happier with my F3s. The only thing I might be interested in is an RS with the 1330 engine.

[bmccaffrey]

From the dealers that are selling them. Could be our area but I think not.
Time will tell

Like the RS with 1330 idea though:thumbup:

[DJFaninTN]

betting it's going to be an all electric prototype :doorag:. 100 mile range or so.

[PistonBlown]

Perhaps they realized they made a mistake and are bringing back the RS (with a sports mode of course):-)

However suspect like others it will be a rerun of the 'Triple Black' saga.
