2015 F3 pricing

[ViperWolf]

Wonder where the F3 is going to fall into the 2015 price line spectrum?

I'm hoping its comfortable and has a slice of affordability to it.

Any thoughts, perspectives or wild a$$ guesses on pricing?

Impatiently waiting for more details...

[Laila's Dad]

it may not be much more expensive than an RS is now, around $17,000, because the F3 does not seem to come with any additional storage like the RT or ST does from the picture...

[Bob Denman]

Time will tell. :D
Tick... Tick... Tick... :shocked:

[ARtraveler]

Let's say $9,999 and see how much BRP raises it from there. :roflblack::roflblack:

At that price point I'll keep the RT too. BRP, are you listening? :popcorn:

[finless]

OK, I was in a dealer shop (name not disclosed) and was told by the manager the MSRP for this is going to be about the same as the 2012 base RT was. e.g. about $20-$21K. This is not including dealer "stuff". He would not validate where he heard it, how he heard it, etc. Hell, he was a little miffed at me for pressing him further.

Truth? I can't say but I tend to believe him.

I mean come on, new machine, new tooling, new lots of stuff and BRP needs to try and make the investment back on a risk they are taking with this style of trike. So I do not think based on that short convo this is a cheap machine.

Maybe the guy was blowing smoke up my a**...... We shall see.

But I will go on record that MY "guesstimate" is $18K for a base model after negotiation with your dealer.

[SpyderRx]

I'm going $18,995

[finless]

I'm going $18,995

OK I was rounding but yea... I am with you.
Things wont be getting cheaper I fear for new models!

Bob

[finless]

That frame alone on this new Spyder has to cost. It is not like previous Spyders. Has to cost to have a frame like that vs a bolt together frame on previous models?

Thoughts?

[GrumpySteelMan]

I think the 3 cylinder motor will keep it away from the price of an RS.

Base RT comes in at $22,999 Max'd out at $33,799

Base ST comes in at 18,999 Max'd out at $24,484

Base RS comes in at $14,899 Max'd out at $19,599

Looks like the minimum price of admission ramps up $4k per model range on the low end.

Top of the line range is steeper, about $5k from RS-S to ST-L. ST-L to RT-L just over $9k.

My guess? Since the RT crowd and the F3 crowd will not be in competition with eachother?

$21k-27k

If they're $15k? I'll have one.

[Colin]

Power plant will be 1330 3cyl, Lamont wouldn't be busting to get his hands on one if it wasn't lolol
And my guess would be similar pricing to the ST range.

I'm guessing $9,999 as well, my Spyder dealer says $7,999

Hoping they follow the release of the Seadoo Spark but who knows, Lamont knows more than he's letting us believe....LOL

BobPolaris leaked a price of $40000 through a couple of their dealers early on so when the real price came out at 19 to 24000 it would look like a great bargain.. this could be more of the same

[Chupaca]

I'm out..just say this...it won't be cheap..:lecturef_smilie:

[Kratos]

Anyone hoping for less than 19K.....throw that hope away. LOL

[Bob Denman]

:roflblack: This is more fun, than listening to the "experts" during NASCAR's "Silly Season"... :roflblack:

[jaherbst]

These posts sound like the "Dream Team" at work at full force. Go out, mow the lawn or something and get a dose of reality. It will be expensive is all we should know. Right?

[finless]

Lets start a pricing pool :roflblack:
Winner takes all!

[Lamonster]

:doorag::popcorn:

[SpyderGirl]

My guess is about $15,000. I can't wait to get my hands on one. Since 2007 I've never been more excited about the new Spyder model. This would be in addition to my 2008 GS and the hubby's 2011 RT-S.

[Bob Denman]

:roflblack:
On or about September 23rd; all will become clear to us... :D

[bscrive]

I am still hoping they will bring one to Spyderquest. Not too far for them to go from Valcourt. :rolleyes:

[Sabusan]

Don't want to rain on anyone's party for the F3...but under $20K will never happen...
They couldn't build enough of them if that becomes reality...still say somewhere between $25-30K...right up against the RT for an expanded market...JMHO...can't wait until the Sept rollout...

[Fat Crip]

The F3 name suggests the 3 cylinder, but one of press release pics looks like a V-twin to me!

I will jump in with a $17,999 for the entry level SM6 edition. $19,499 for a SE6 version. Add-ons or upline versions--no guess.

No information--just my vibes.

[StanProff]

I do like the F3 and I am sure it will be a hit for those who are into the cruiser style. I gotta stay with the RT though as I travel two up with the trailer and would not be comfortable with the lack of wind protection and storage space. I am just wondering if any of the styling ques will translate over to the RT line. I am seriously awaiting the '15 RT'S and will likly trade up from my 2010 "Mr. Blue GT" I have loved every mile with him but i am craving the bigger engine and better highway capibilities. I hate to see Mr. Blue go but I'm hoping he goes to a good home. it's a super good RTS.

[otter28169]

I am in for the pricing pool, My guess is $8999.99 (USD).

Just sayin'...........

Funny

I'm gonna say starting at about $17,000 and up but considering I have not seen if this is gonna be a SE or a SM, did not see a clutch lever

[Fat Crip]

I take that back...I've looked at more picks and an inline triple it is!

One of the spy pics had a clutch.

[napper39]

since it is going to be the hot rod of spyders id say the same as a standerd rt,23to 26 grand you cant get a gto type rod cheap:yikes:and it might be moore if this is there eletric type gas saver ,a lot moore money.:chat:

[Kratos]

If the RS stays, that confuses the pricing. It'll have to find a spot between it and the ST, and there's not much room in there. So my best guess will be $20,999....

[ViperWolf]

I'm not too proud to be embarrassed by my ignorance, but I don't get Lamonster's Fantasy Island reference with the picture of Mr. Roarke and Tattoo.

A little help please...

[Bob Denman]

That would seem to be his response to Otter guessing that the bike will cost $8,999.

[bscrive]

I believe that Lamont is saying that some are way to high and others are way too low.

I would say that the F3 will be starting at around $15000 and go up from there.

[ARtraveler]

It took a while, but I think I got it. The $8,999 price is a fantasy. Sad, but true, I am afraid.

[Bob Denman]

At least nobody has said $6,800... YET!! :D :roflblack:

[ARtraveler]

I was also thinking that, but I did not want to start something again. :roflblack::roflblack:

Wow, good guess. That makes perfect sense now. Also very clever by Lamont.

[ARtraveler]

Maybe the F3 is just a $6800.00 Elio that BRP chops off the roof an, removes the sterring wheel adds a set of bars....

Now that is a great conspiracy theory. Any takers? :roflblack::roflblack:

[Bigtow]

My dealer told me today it it's the 1330 motor but no idea on the price.....thinks it will be rite
up there in ...just his speculation ........:yikes:

[den1953]

Remember the original RT version of the triple doesn't really have much more horsepower than the previous 998 V-twin, just more low-end torque. Wouldn't it be possible for a sportier version to have higher output? Things like camshafts, porting and compression as well as intake and exhaust flow could be different enough on the F3 to up the game performance-wise and still be EPA compliant. Other motorcycle manufacturers do this. Whether or not BRP will do this on the F3 remains to be seen though.

[flamingobabe]

I'm in on the pricing war.....how much do we put in??????$1, $5, $10, $20, $50????? anyway...with new engine...1330....new seat position...new look....etc...24k and up

Certainly we can hope!

[katnapper]

I say $21,999 and up......
RT range... High end sports model

thats my guess! :yes:

[vided]

Conferring wit Carnac the F3 will start at19k and work it's way to 28k. :bowdown::bowdown:

[hchays]

I say it will be priced in typical BRP fashion (A.K.A. Overpriced) for the service you get after the dealer gets your money!

[otter28169]

So what I am seeing is a machine with no windshield, no bags, none of the options of the RT, none of the looks of the RS, and none of the well rounded abilities of the ST. The consensus is that it looks like there is an ACE1330 inside, a line of motors that has not exactly had a history of white knuckle performance. This motor was designed and tested in the snowmobile market and has historical data to draw from (much like the 990) without the added cost and liability of a completely new design. The new riding position (my favorite change) is more comfortable, but does not lend itself to stability in the saddle during more "spirited" rides.

That being said:
Is the new riding position worth the price of a base model RT, or a loaded ST? Not in my opinion.
What is adding one more model to the $20,000 price range really going to accomplish? Seems like everybody is fighting for a slice of
the same pie. And these slices are only going to get smaller with each model that gets added.

I did not guess in my earlier post I took the limited information I had in several photos and hypothesized. And if my fantasy is that the new spyder could be sold to the masses, and not only to a fraction of the available customer base, is that so wrong?

Just sayin'............

[Bob Denman]

We haven't seen the entire package yet... :D

[SpyderBandit]

Just can't see a price coming in under $20k.There must be a lot of special cool-aid out there for those suggesting pricing under 10k:dontknow:

[Dragonrider]

I don't think you should rule out that both power plants will be available - in two editions. Nor would I be surprised to see the 1330/6 in the STS LTD (only), while the 990 remains in the others.

This would allow BRP to have a large price spread, and with the "missing" tupperware and forward controls, keep the 990 cool enough to keep the new owners happy.

If the 2013 did not have so many issues, I would have expected a $17K 990 RT as well...

If the F3's production frame is similar to the proto pics, you are correct, that it is more expensive to build than the current frame. However, less plastic means lower costs too, add the no added farkles - like the base RS - and the base F3 could easily be in the $18K range - so I'll second the $18,995 number, and bet on a three model product range... How about that.....

[flamingobabe]

I'm betting there are farkles...windshield....heated grips...bags...audio....etc.......the 2013 ST has had such a bad reputation....this just may be a replacement with no bad history....dump the problem...just a thought

[Bob Denman]

Well; I'm holding out for $6800...

But only if they send me an Elio Tee-Shirt as part of the deal! :roflblack: :joke:

[BikerDoc]

I'm betting there are farkles...windshield....heated grips...bags...audio....etc.......the 2013 ST has had such a bad reputation....this just may be a replacement with no bad history....dump the problem...just a thought Whether that is the grand plan or not, I suspect it will be the result

I heard yesterday from reliable source that you can expect the mid $20's

[GunDoctor]

So much for "reliable source ".... But my build did end up there. [emoji39]
