Okay... I DO Like The Looks Of It!

Translation: My wife has not given me permission yet!

Joe

She's grinding on this $31,000 question also...

I think that it might all come down to what we could sell our RT-L for...

[jvanbeek]

I'd put the Trans Am decal on the frunk!

[Bob Denman]

I did that with my 2010...

As I said...John Player Special looks was always nice but I would not own it...mine is black but silver accents... with red and white pinstripping...

Just to clear this up:
the Special anniversary models are 2017 model year/design/configuration. A mid year release, a bit late. Like the 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang, a special release. Not an 2018 model. I know, as I asked at the unveiling. We heard rumors that the 2018 are different, so when they rolled these out with paint and wheels and medallions, we were "hang on, nothing special!"
That said, screams Smokey and the bandit, to me. Those wheels, powder coated another color would work fine!! Spyder Ann wants them Powdercoated in the color of brake dust..........

[LateLifeCrisis]

Bob, I like the color scheme - understated, classy and just enough sass with the wheels to make a statement. But frankly, I think the dark side is calling you and you're ready to go over. Your latest avatar confirms that! (I did like that flying pig though)

But if all else fails....MORE COWBELL!!! download (1).jpg

Black doesn't perk up my ears, although the gold is a great touch. Gimme a rich teal, turquoise or purple (or bring back the cognac!) and I'll definitely look twice. I'm too pragmatic to trade just for color, though.

[d.o.spyder-rts]

The spyder looks good, black is not my favorite color especially for FL. Don't need to absorb any more heat. It's hot enough here all ready, besides, I just bought my '16 last June. Dale

I am still wondering about price...any ideas?

I did buy a new motorcycle. But it was not one of the above.

[Bfromla]

I did that with my 2010...

Yes but would "fit" this better & for fun you can have sue add "golden bacon" some how Maybe as pinstripes¿ (she will know how to make it look good)

That would be EXACTLY what I'm hoping for the most!

You can put lipstick on anything - but it is still what it was before you applied the lipstick.

If BRP Can Am has included definitive mechanical/electrical/electronic improvements to the new model, then and only then will it warrant my consideration.
If NOT
Well then it's just lipstick on an ol girl to make her feel better about herself.

[Bob Denman]

Okay... I'll bite!

What improvements would the owner of an F3-T like to see be made to the RT model?

Okay, I will bite. Re style--the looks now are getting "old in the tooth." A bigger engine--1700 - 1800 range. A "real" touring seat for both driver and passenger.

Anyone else?

[Bob Denman]

Since you asked...
Stretch the rider/passenger area about an inch or two, and give us more room!
Make the saddlebags and top trunk more spacious, and make the space more useful, by "squaring it up" a bit!
Give us shaft drive: a longer wheelbase will mean a longer belt...
And since the wheelbase is longer: you have room for a larger fuel tank!
How about a radio system that is easier to figure out?
Less reflectors, and more lighting!
reinforce that center strut for the windshields
Get your mirror mounting system from Russ!
Since all of this will add weight: bump the displacement and power a bit too!

There ya go. Hey BRP--please build this thing before we die or run out of money.

[Ungerbe]

BRP emailed out info and it said the 10th anniversary model would only be built to order.

[Bob Denman]

That is correct: They have to be ordered before about the middle of October.
(The exact date escapes me right now... )

[Bob Denman]

I seem to be working on BOTH possibilities a bit too well!

[Bob Denman]

BRP emailed out info and it said the 10th anniversary model would only be built to order.

Back to this issue:
Here's what BRP has on their website:

"ORDER BEFORE JULY 15, 2017 AND GET 4-YEAR COVERAGE
AND $500 IN PARTS, ACCESSORIES AND RIDING GEAR."


"10th Anniversary models are only available for sale until October 24, 2017.
So best hurry, a milestone anniversary like this doesn’t come around every year."

So if you're gonna shop: the clock is ticking!

[fastfraser]

F3 Limited ordered. Order before July 15 to get 500 in gear and accessories as well as 4 year warranty coverage .

[Bob Denman]

But wait.. how are you going to apply your famous "Flame-Job" to it?

[Deanna777]

add an other vote to the colors mentioned above. Deanna

[Bob Denman]

We're off to the races now!
The money looks right... We're just gonna give our Dealer a chance to see what she can learn about what the "Real" 2018s will be like!
The Missus isn't too keen on buying a "Pig in a poke".

So if anyone has heard anything "interesting" about the 2018s: PM me!

And real tires! Also, like 4Marie said, more ground clearance. And real tires.
