[Lamonster]

Lot's of talk about the official Spyder F3 now so it's going to need it's own message board. :doorag:

Great idea. Now if BRP would post some of the specs and information instead of just a teaser picture that we already knew about...:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

:bbq::bbq::bbq::bbq:

Oh Yes! I like it a lot although there wont be one in my future. I am an RT guy for sure though, and have to act my age. :roflblack:

Well, I'm not a Spyder owner yet, but by the looks of the F3, I may not act my age either....was waiting for a 2014 RTS or RT Limited SE6 leftover b4 making the big jump....might have to see what the 2015 lineup brings now.....

the F3 is a sharp looking roadster.

[cptjam]

I want to see it, ride it, and make a decision from there! Hey, BRP - I can beta test it for you! Just volunteering my services! I can throw in an alignment!

The F3 pic will be a winner from a marketing perspective....hot look! All Black on Chrome.:yes::yes:

Looks like the passenger grab rails are designed for mounting an array of options. Hopefully, MSRP will be in the low 20's for a base model...and no more than $26.5K for the step-up, loaded with goodies...positioning the F3 between the ST and RT models....:clap:

[MarkLawson]

I was wondering how long before you'd have an F3 board. Sweet looking Spyder!

[cafejimlv]

It should cost less than an st. Imo. :lecturef_smilie:

If it is priced near 20k for a base bike, many will take a hard look at the slingshot. Imo. :lecturef_smilie:

My feeling is that this style roadster just opens up and expands the fan base for the Spyder. A bit more open look and what would draw the attention of a Harley lover....providing it has the RT Rotax as the powerplant. All bets off and a much lower MSRP without the 1330.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_12_12.gif I'm wondering how it would look in my garage...


Alongside the RT!! :2thumbs:

:lecturef_smilie: We DO need some hard data on these beauties!

[Lamonster]

At the very worst case Sept 23 you'll have most of your questions answered and I'll be able to fill in the blanks but till then we can all just wait and see. It is good to see the new blood showing up.

F3 is one HOT ryde....I'm loving it......already accessorizing .....needs black rims......can't wait to test ryde.....BRP...I'm ready and waiting for my test machine

[Spyderjuice]

I want one!
RB

Those pegs look like they might be adjustable by sliding back and forth on the frame bar. That would be neat.

[Bob Denman]

...particularly if they have the brake pedal on the same adjustment mechanism! :thumbup:

[Highwayman2013]

I want to see it, ride it, and make a decision from there! Hey, BRP - I can beta test it for you! Just volunteering my services! I can throw in an alignment! BRP, I am also available as a test pilot.

[bscrive]

I see a solid linkage from the pedal to the master. If it is adjustable then the rod would have to be adjustable as well. There is also the issue with the shifter on SM models.

I wanna know how this guy in the pic is obviously moving, but his hair coming out of the back of his helmet is not moving at all!! :doorag:

PS - I was at the dealership yesterday and they said it has the 1330 engine. It's a nice looking machine and I like the styling, but it's basically a 1-person bike and I'm not totally sold on the front-end.

[Kratos]

Can't wait to see it in person. One thing I know for sure is that the very first mod has to be exhaust. No way this monster bike can sound like stock spyders usually do. It just wouldn't look right. Since it has the "biker" look, it needs to have the biker sound.

[donnellpj]

Not the fella atop the machine, but the machine itself,...

This hits the Cruiser, Bagger market perfectly, something BRP was missing with the Spyder.

Relaxed seating position.
Feet forward
Small or no faring
Back sweeping bars
Rakish styling
Appears to have saddle bag mounts

I really like it, and more over, I like what it brings to the Spyder line-up overall!

[flamingobabe]

My favorite
93606
with these rims
93608

[AbNormy]

They need some gimps like me to test drive them for a few months!

[JerryB]

Hi Lamonster,

Since this new machine is all the buzz on here, I thought I would offer my thoughts.

And they are worth what you paid for them. :clap:

1. I really like the bold look; i.e., the new front end. It looks more like what I would want for these machines.

2. I would like to see an optional smaller engine ( if, in fact, it will have the 1330 engine ). Some of us would be quite happy with a 600 cc engine.

3. I hope ( but doubt ) that it has an optional SE shifting mechanism.

OK, everyone sit back, relax & have a beer; time will tell.

I am guessing the beta testing has already been completed. As usual, nobody called me--even though I could have given them a couple hundred miles a day. Almost that many miles are on my new 2014 though--so I am happy.

Lamont i have been away and just got back. took a 10day trip on the spyder's...yes we have 2 now. Hey would it be possible to fabricate an air ride suspension for the f3. With 5 back surgeries I need some soft riding lol. Just a thought I know you are a busy guy. I would buy this bike in a heart beat...love the orange frame and truly love the look of this spyder.

NOTE to BRP


Cruzr Joe would be a good test pilot for this cool new ride. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Since it has the "biker" look, it needs to have the biker sound. since I believe that is the first joint venture muffler from Brp/Akropovic venture, I doubt it will sound anything like a stock spyder

I hope you're right. This bike needs a strong sound to sell it's Harley look. If it's not strong enough, I'll make sure it gets the exhaust it deserves. ;) :thumbup:

[spyder3]

Not sure on the front end, but like the rest of the f3 look. Looking forward to details

[coz]

A killer combination. looking forward to it.

[Dan_Ashley]

Will there be an F3 Limited?

[arizona spyder]

If it is priced near 20k for a base bike, many will take a hard look at the slingshot. Imo. :lecturef_smilie:

I agree,

It is going to have to be significantly under 20 k. there is a sponsoring dealer on the slingshot forum that has a out the door price for the base slingshot at 21 k, and he is playing no games with markup etc.http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/images/icons/icon7.png

[Kratos]

This bike has more going on with it than the top of the line RS (which is 20K), so how in the world do you guys think it's gonna come "significantly" lower than 20K.... :lecturef_smilie:

I'M DUE FOR A NEW SPYD3R....
MY'09 RS SE5 HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE... NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER, AND IT HAS GIVEN ME PERFECT SERVICE FOR OVER 40,000 MILES OF SMILES...
BUT I'M HOT ON THE NEW 1330/6 SPEED... IF THE RS ISN'T FITTED WITH THAT COMBO, AND THE F3 IS... THEN I'LL BE AN F3 MAN, EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT CRAZY ABOUT THE STYLING.... I'M MORE ABOUT PERFORMANCE... BUT IF THE RS IS FITTED WITH THE 1330/6 SPEED... THEN THAT'S BINGO FOR ME, THAT'LL BE MY NEXT RIDE.....
WE'LL SEE IN ANOTHER COUPLE WEEKS WHAT BRP IS OFFERING....

I've had three triples in motorcycles and all three had a similar sound to them. The 1979 Yamaha XS750 Special had an almost diesel sound to it. The 1996 Triumph Adventurer 900 was somewhat like that but could also have an almost aircraft engine sound to it (think P-51 Mustang or British Spitfire swooping in). The 2010 Triumph Rocket III Touring somewhat similar but had a deeper sound to it, almost like a big marine engine (like a PT Boat or a big old Chris Craft cabin cruiser with an inline six or eight cylinder engine). None of these triples sounded anything like a Harley but each had a kind of cool sound of their own. I'm betting the new F3 will have a sound that falls somewhere in the range of the three triples I've had. Not a bad sound, but different.

I agree! I love my GS/RS, but it would be hard to deny the ACE motor in an RS styled Spyder. Can't wait till the reveal!

I was thinking the same as you, but then after thinking more (It started to hurt after a while) To put the 1330 in an RS or ST you
would end up with the front of your Spyder looking as wide and similar to an RT, so an even wider front with skinny rear, not sure how that would look as an RS to be honest, maybe an ST. Just sharing my thoughts.
