    Default A newbie brings one home

    Finally got one!
    Picked up yesterday, my 2017 F3, SM6.
    Purchased at Tampa Bay Powersports.
    It's the basic black (only choice) and now I can start the farkel process.
    122 mile first ride and I was impressed. Sufficient power, actually faster and smoother than expected.
    It is easy to be doing 70+ if you don't pay attention-I'll have to watch this.
    Here are a couple pics, one at the dealer and one at a stop for water on the way home.
    Only shortcomings are (to me) the very un-natural position of the shifter and brake pedal. My legs/feet don't bend the way they need to to reach these two. Have to lift my foot off the peg to downshift, it just doesn't seem natural. Will be looking at what might be done to change this. Already got some good ideas from searching here.
    Headed out this am to grab another hundred miles or so. f3 c.jpgP1010893.jpg
