I find all this front end complaining funny the last months have been nothing but whining about the heat issues and threats to sue and turn brp into the nhtsa over fires and all , so they do the obvious thing and move the radiators away from the foot area and open up the front for more air flow and all some can do is bitch about the styling , your choice heat or open air front and sidesQuote:

What do YOU think it stands for? :D :thumbup:
Formula 3 (open wheel formula racing).

It stands for Formula 3. They just condensed it. The 3 does stand for 3 cylinders. It did on the sleds.
The formula line of snowmobiles go back to the early 80's. They are a snowmobile company at heart you know.
They were pretty decent sleds for the day... :thumbup:
I was at the Shoot-Out in Booneville when they were introduced. 126 horsepower right out of the box... :shocked:
Then; they let the "experts" tinker with it a bit...
and they blew it up! :yikes:
(The temperatures dropped about 15 degrees between the first, and second set of runs... :D)
As to the latter part of your comment - literally.Quote:

A spyder cruiser..... I like it...... I'll give a couple of years before I'm ready to trade in, and they get any bugs worked out.... Besides I didn't get as many miles in on my sts as I had planned this year, too many things on my plate, and it's been a crazy year. Not that I had any problems with my machine, just others things taking up a lot of my time.
I would say in this riding Position you should be able to be faster in the corners than an RSS !!
seems they have a new designerteam from Italy ?? - but it will be hard to get one for next year (sold-out ??)
so I need only a backrest for my Girl & some changes on the front (like always..)
Can't wait to test ryde one but no. t sure it would be as comforfable to ryde across country on like an RT. Guess it depends on the seat
Not trying to be negative, and it hasn't put me off the F3, but they seem to have done a similar thing to the F3 as they did to
the ST.
ST= a new model style of Spyder, but on the ST SM5 the still put the same type of bumper on as the original RS/GS
F3= New Model but they appear to be using almost the same front turn signal as the original RS/GS
Im starting to wonder if they have Warehouses full of these components?
Just an observation, and I still want to try one :D
f 3 = "fast three" wheels!
Lot's have asked for a "touring" version": you already have it in the RT. I'll bet money this is a naked version of the basic RT chassis with a few pieces of well placed plastic for aesthetics and function. Probably shed a bunch of weight although it will still weigh more than the RS/ST models.

"Parts Commonality", is the name of the game... BRP ain't the only one playing it either! :DQuote:

I'm already trying to find ways that this doesn't make the ST useless as it is, add some saddlebags and a windshield, and I know most definitely the ST line won't make sense anymore.Quote:
