I know, if you have to ask, you can't afford it. Lol I won't know that until Sept 23rd but since my wife said do it, that won't really matter... Overall I impressed with the value for price from BRP products so I am not worried

:congrats: I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of people joining you on this.

No worse than some of us who ordered the 08 GS just based on a picture in a magazine. That worked out also.

:congrats: Doc!

1st one riding the 2014 and most likely in the running to keep the streak going with the F3!
I look forward to your first report!

:agree: It'd be about like having a cool runabout parked next to the "Family Truckster", in the garage! :yes:

how do you purchase an F3 when the dealers still don't know pricing, sm or se (and by the way, all pictures show a cluster and no clutch lever), engine size (if there is an option here), color (has to be options), etc.. etc.. etc.? am I missing something here, or do you just tell them you want one? (no matter what):dontknow::dontknow:

I am guessing it takes a bit of faith, and faith in the dealer also.

Back in 2007 I gave the dealer $1,500 and we said we would square up when we knew the final price. Then, no SE5 so I knew it would be a manual. I wanted either a yellow or red. I ended up with a silver one. Guessing that is the way it will be pre-9/23 also.

:popcorn::popcorn::popcorn: I did get the 2nd one to hit Alaska.

The last time I had to wait for a vehicle from a dealership was in the 70's. :popcorn:

Not so. The red one in the spy shots has a clutch lever.

on the 2014 I was the first one to order about this same time and got the ride as the first unit delivered on Christmas Eve 2013. That seems pretty typical of the past.. When i ordered the 2010 and 2012 RTs I also had to wait.. no big deal since I am enjoying what I ride now also.. Just have to share it with my wife

(no matter what):dontknow::dontknow: $500 down and complete and utter faith in my dealer is all it takes.. This will be my fourth purchase from Central Florida Powersports and they have made me happy every time. I just want to get in line first......

Won't know price until Sept 23rd.. Just have faith that my dealer will make a good deal for me and and underlying belief that most BRP products are worth what they charge

On one of the first posts on the new F3, someonesaid "not impressed" and you agreed. If I may ask, what changed your mind. Just asking cause I loved it at first sight... Something must have swayed ya???

The original pictures I saw were not streamlined and looked more like a riding lawnmower than a muscle motorcycle. The first official picture overcame that reaction big time

Looking forward to your evaluation and hopefully plenty of pics!

:shemademe_smilie: Neet and :congrats: . I'm waiting to see what the RSS and STL look like, then I'll decide if I want another one to go with the RTL. :dontknow:

To me the upright riding position of the F3 trumps the RS & ST but that is just my "old guy" preference

Counting the days now until Sept 23rd when I will have the details to finalize the options on my purchase. I AM READY. Sure hope I get this one before Christmas like I did with my 2014 RTL. Riding a new bike on Christmas Day is a real Blast.

Did they quote you a total price?

Anyone that quotes a price before Sept 23rd would be crazy or lying.. I only know they beat everyone else's price on my last three Spyders and committed to me to do that again. So far in five years Central Florida Powersports has kept every commitment that have ever made to me so I am confident this will be no exception

Ok I see from the latest video that I will need to add the sport windshield option and might consider the back seat cowl. No racing strip for me.. Still sticking with solid black...and chrome of course....
