An observation and a question
1. Cognac is a 1 year color
2. Is Cowtown the R&D department of BRP?

I was hoping for a new RS with bigger engine....

Those "custom" color themes are pretty ugly, I'm assuming the different pieces are mix-and-match panels you can have the dealer put on... kind of like the Spark's customization.
I don't know that people were clamoring for that

what about an ACE engine for better fuel efficiency?
what about a more reliable transmission since my 2012 has been in the shop non stop for 2 years

this doesn't look innovative at all, i was on the fence whether or not to ditch my 2012 by upgrading to a 2015 or going to a Slingshot. BRP has not upped their game, and unless I find the F3 to be a good replacement for the RSS I have, I doubt I'll be buying a new Spyder anytime soon...

Thanks for finding this picture. Couldn't find anything on the F3 accessories and was extremely disappointed to not see the ST getting the 1330. The F3 on the left appears to have the major things I would want to tour on the F3 - small windscreen, saddlebags, and a trailer hitch. Looks like I'll be good to go! Well, guess I can quite tell if the trailer hitch is there- fingers crossed.

To me the F3 is an oversized RS, finally with reasonable comfort, but none of the RTs utility, and priced way above my RT for similar features. However, for many, it will be an interesting toy, and will probably supplant the RSS - IF the accessories are on a par.

I do like the new RTs red color, but it looks like its only available on the LTD... and the RS is maintained as a 990 and as the "entry level" machine... All in all, I'm happy I bought my '14...

There is a touring version of the F3 which is pretty much what everyone who wants to tour after buying an RS turns it into. Bags, Floorboards, Backrest, and windshield. Infact it would probably replace the ST as well.

As an owner of 2014 RT-S, I'm somewhat glad that they seem to have kept that Spyder the same - I don't feel like I wish I'd waited a year (although I do like the red, but with the yellow I chose still around, my 2014 is virtually identical from what I can tell to the 2015).

What most surprises me is that a base line ST is $19,200 and the base F3 is $19,500 with the 1330 engine. Once one adds a windshield, I'm not sure I can see much reason to buy an ST over the F3, although perhaps some people won't like the new style (I do - I've love to see the RT with the full passenger backrest and storage eventually restyled on the aesthetic of the F3).

If I've read everything correctly, the F3 is essentially the same specs as the RT in terms of power and performance, although I would think the lower sitting position would help with the ride.

Perhaps Can-Am can only do one big change per year, which is why the RT and ST are unchanged. I wouldn't be surprised if they are looking at RS and ST sales to decide on what to bring back next year. If that is a question mark for them then it makes perfect sense that they've left them unchanged.

A lot of you are much deeper into this than I am and I'd be curious to know more about what others are thinking or what others may have caught that I didn't about the new lineup.

I think the RSS color combos are not very appealing and wonder who their target market is.
They could have offered a blue in the RT line up.
I thought for sure The ST would get the 1330 ACE engine but than again that would be cutting into their new cruiser territory.

I'm not sure if they did it or do it but they really need to get more involved with the Spyder crowd on all social platforms and start polling and asking what we would like to see. I think more people will think this was more hype and less wow. (F3 = Wow)

Still lovin my green and not having any second thoughts about changing, but if that blue and black was by it'self with out the orange it would be a better looking bike. RSS and the ST should of had some powerplant up-grade.

F3 well not a bad bike but more coin and 50 plus more in weight. New sport cruiser PASS

I have remained open minded about the F3, but have no intentions to purchase one. With the release and now many different angles and videos, I personally am not on board with the front styling or exposed frame tubes. Sorry but it's not the colors just the overall style.

Based on the riders in the video, the clothing and the girls, a target group is shown.

I did sort out the RTs SS thing. The idea is sound, but not sure if short windshield and black bodywork is it either. If anything, they seemed to learn the RTs was popular and maybe trying to capture some of the mods in house rather than let the aftermarket cash in.

The comments about colors and such, well some are nice, some combos not so nice. Some almost appear to be wanting to appeal to the younger market as some suggested.

I did not find the popular Cognac color. Honestly, while neat, BRP was a few years late to the party when they released it. Most automakers had already been using it for several years.

Many of the 2015 combinations are not typical of wha consumers of road vehicles typically see, more a following towards the ATV line and color choices there.

If BRP is trying for a younger market, they may need to lower the price.

Also, FWIW, the IT, web design guys and girls, or marketing people need to do better proof reading of what they send out. Found some schoolboy mistakes that bleeds poor quality and inexperience.

I commend Can-Am for testing the waters with the F3. It would seem this model caters to those focused on aesthetics and customization and if it's a popular design it could become the norm.
One of the big pluses in the older design for me is the storage space which the F3 has cut in place of a redesigned aggressive body design.
Oh, and what's up with the dash cluster? There is a new computer display. I wonder if there are any new features included in regards to that?

Well nothing earth shattering for me. I'm gonna go finalize purchasing a 2014 RT now that I know what's ahead.

09-24-2014, 06:29 AM
No more yellow/black?? Don't get me wrong, the f3 is nice, but I was disappointed they just slapped on the old style dash cluster. Other than that, I wasn't really all that blown away by the new st/rs/rt color schemes. I believe I'll hang on to my '13 sts for now.

09-24-2014, 06:39 AM
Does anyone else think the price is a little high for what you are getting? I love then new look but throw in some accessories that are included with other models and it becomes a high price tag. Think they are about 1,500 high for base model. Was thinking of trading in my 2008 sm5 for this but at that price not worth it to me..too bad, like the riding position and look of front. I think if they also should of lowered the price because I think they might lose some people to the slingshot. Both base models are the same price. Unless there is some rebate going on I can't justify upgrading.

http://can-am.brp.com/spyder/genuine-parts-accessories-riding-gear/accessories/spyder-f3-touring-escape-package.htmlAs long as I don't look at the front, this looks good. Still think the 08-10 RS will be quicker unless they reworked the 1330. I do like the red RTL, but then I'm not an RT person. Another year and still nothing there to want me to trade in for something new. When they hit the showrooms I will look, but I will be also looking at the Slingshot.

Non Spyder owner here......Hasn't anyone told BRP that orange and black have already been used by a somewhat famous two name motorcycle company? All kidding aside , I have been thinking about buying a new Cam Am and I was waiting to see what the 2015 release would bring. Unfortunately, there really isn't much to be excited about. Okay so the new F-3 can smoke the rear tire, big deal. Not only did the Can Am designers pick a Harley color scheme for the F-3 they also used a Ducati style design with the contrasting color frame parts. Looking at the front end of the F-3 reminds me of a Chrysler 300 or Dodge pickup truck....big, bulky looking nose. Too much nose in fact, making it look very front end heavy and out of proportion to the rest of the vehicle. Sorry all, just my opinion.


The rest of the lineup is pretty much status quo and again many of the color options leave an awful lot to be desired. Guess I will have to wait for the 2016 line up.

In reply to Rick H. I also am a non spyder owner at this time. I also plan on buying a spyder in 2015. I not only like the looks of the F3 but feel it has given me 2 benefits. I want to buy a spyder with the new ace engine. So I can buy a new F3 at around
$20,000.00 or a 2014 left over at a discount. So its a win win situation for me.

Actually, this year's new models make me appreciate my 2013 RTL even more - especially since it has the unique Lava Bronze color and tan seat that they no longer make. Looks like I'll be keeping mine for a while and putting my money into making it even better. I've already made good strides toward resolving the heat, and yesterday I ordered Lamont's Cat Bypass, which I'm hoping will make it cooler yet, while improving the torque and deepening the exhaust sound.

Right now I'm not in the market for a new Spyder (maybe in the next 18 - 24 months). With that said, I love the look and styling of the F3 and I see a F3-S in my future. Some points it has against it for me is:

1. PRICE. Loaded this baby will cost you more than a RT-S with far less features and storage. Then you all might say "just get a RT." No. The hubby has a RT and I am not comfortable on it and I do not really enjoy riding it as much as my 2008 GS SM5. I was just hoping with what little this thing has (yes, the U-Fit customization and 1330 triple is nice), that the price would be more closer to that of the RS ($17,000 - $20,000).

2. STORAGE SPACE. Less storage space that a RS?? REALLY??? I travel and tour a lot on my Spyder and I need more space than that. I don't like having to load the thing up with strapped on luggage.

Other than these two things (so far), I really do love it! I love styling, I love how it doesn't look like a snowmobile on wheels anymore, I love the fuel door on the tank, and I love the open nekkidness to the body. This will be easier to work on than my GS I'm sure. And I love the low maintenance and longer range of the 1330 motor and am very happy that BRP put that motor in something more RS-like.

With all that said.... I will be sitting back and waiting. See what issues arise, see what aftermarket accessories come to fruitition. I am excited to see this next chapter in the Can-Am Spyder and am glad I am along for the ride.

Keep calm and RIDE A SPYDER!!

Right now I'm not in the market for a new Spyder (maybe in the next 18 - 24 months). With that said, I love the look and styling of the F3 and I see a F3-S in my future. Some points it has against it for me is:

1. PRICE. Loaded this baby will cost you more than a RT-S with far less features and storage. Then you all might say "just get a RT." No. The hubby has a RT and I am not comfortable on it and I do not really enjoy riding it as much as my 2008 GS SM5. I was just hoping with what little this thing has (yes, the U-Fit customization and 1330 triple is nice), that the price would be more closer to that of the RS ($17,000 - $20,000).

I also like some of the things about the F3, like the riding style, less body-covering, etc. But I like touring. It would be great if you could put a hitch on it.

So, Am I going to get to see the new F3 when you and Murphybrown come to Alaska next summer. They do have a pretty snazzy looking touring package. Hitch: Where there is a will, there is a way. :roflblack::roflblack:

No. I just bought my '14 RTS at SpyderFest, so it'll be a few years before I'm ready to trade. That will give us time to see how they pan out, improve, accessorize, etc.

Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh! The 2015 F3 proves not all of the Aztek design team were executed afterwards. Looks like at least a couple made it over to BRP, to help out with this abortion.......................oops; .........................I meant "styling tour de force"! :yikes:

I like the idea of the RTS-SS also!
I'd like to see it as an optional appearance package, that could be added to any RTS color scheme. :thumbup:

Non Spyder owner here......Hasn't anyone told BRP that orange and black have already been used by a somewhat famous two name motorcycle company? All kidding aside , I have been thinking about buying a new Cam Am and I was waiting to see what the 2015 release would bring. Unfortunately, there really isn't much to be excited about. Okay so the new F-3 can smoke the rear tire, big deal. Not only did the Can Am designers pick a Harley color scheme for the F-3 they also used a Ducati style design with the contrasting color frame parts. Looking at the front end of the F-3 reminds me of a Chrysler 300 or Dodge pickup truck....big, bulky looking nose. Too much nose in fact, making it look very front end heavy and out of proportion to the rest of the vehicle. Sorry all, just my opinion.


The rest of the lineup is pretty much status quo and again many of the color options leave an awful lot to be desired. Guess I will have to wait for the 2016 line up.


Rick H.

Didn't know HD had a lock on colors, anyway, I think it looks good on the F3. As I see it the F3 can not only smoke the tire but it will smoke about any stock cruiser on the market. Period. (by the way, my 2010 RT will smoke most of them as well. many of my friends ride two wheelers cruiser style and they all have challenged me on speed and have seen just how fast the Spyder can be). Your right about the Nose of the F3, it is growing on me though. (I like the looks of the dodge pickup). I think you are missing out on tremendous thrills the Spyder can give by sitting on the bench and not owning one. I have a bunch of two wheelers in the garage and I will say the spyder is the most fun I have had in years. From the RS, ST, RT to the F3 I can't see why there wouldn't be a model that you would like.

totally agree with what you say about price. I thought I was the only one who thought this way as I have seen no other post about it. You add windshield and backrest and I think this is about 1500 over priced

Hmmm, so...you're saying you don't like it??? ;)

I am warming up to the F3 bit by bit, although I never thought the existing RS or RT were all that handsome to start with. The GS/RS body panels in particular look a bit too much like Chris Bangle's "flame surfacing" BMW cars (a design language that is unforgivably ugly). In then end, however, Spyders are not about looks in the same overpowering way Harleys and Royal Enfields are. I bought mine because of the riding experience, not the appearance.

Dan, the description of your ST sounds interesting. Can you post the picture?

The GS/RS and ST all have the same tail... Lots of people have the Givi top cases. For me the V46 Givi top case is the perfect size...

Don't know if i'd be ripping on anything for it's looks when the pic of the bike in your post looks like it ran into a Goldwing and stole its windshield...Seriously,,,, Is that thing fastened securely????

My situation is this / I only want ONE Spyder,, for most of my adult life I've had 4 n 5 bikes at a time and I'm done with that!!!!Having an RT is a great thing untill you want to just cruise around without all that luggage your not using..
The F3s ability to go from cruising to touring is what appeals to ME most.. It looks like a blast to ride around town n looks like the Wifey n I will be quite comfortable riding it cross country..
