    Default I Purchased A New F3 Limited Chrome

    I pulled the trigger and just made a deal with Imotorsports on a
    new 2019 F3 Limited Chrome. I got the Phoenix Orange. Also added the signature light, and the driving lights.

    They are taking my 2011 RT A&C for the trade in.

    Will be a couple weeks or so before it arrives in my back yard, but the paperwork is moving on as we speak.

    This will make Spyder number six for me. Now I can say I have had all the versions. GS, RS, Three RT's and now an F3.

    most of you know what they look like, but I will try to post a picture when it arrives.

    Excellent choice on the color. You will love the F3Limited. I bought 2 Spyders from them and had trades both times. Good people to deal with. Get imotorsports to send a few pictures of the bike when they do the build. I had them send me some when they did mine.

    Dewane,

    Interesting choice as I thought the F3 didn't fit you, or did I read your past posts wrong?
    Either way Congrats. I love that color and I almost traded my F3s in on one.

    Hoping next year to be able to see you both again.

    Yes, I did post about the F3 and it not fitting me. The price on the trade and the rebate made the price so much more affordable than the 20 RT I was also looking at...I pulled the trigger.

    In the event it don't work out...Linda will be very happy with it.

    PS. I pushed the "edit" button by mistake when I should have used the reply with quote. Please don't tell.

    Based on what my brother says, we should be able to ride most or all of the winter. Cool and rainy today, so we passed on the ride. Sunny days...we hit the road.

    Yes I did. The rebate made my purchase at least $2K less than a non limited RT.

    When I was speaking to Imotorsports (a SL sponsor), yesterday to finalize numbers, I was offered the three year additional BEST Warranty for $671.00. Tom, stated he believes this is one of the lowest prices now offered anywhere. This price is for everyone who is interested. I told him I would mention this to all.

    Something different, and the bottom line price was a factor. As mentioned above, I have been an RT person for the last three spyders. I bought this one without a test sit or a test ride. I should have rode MurphyBrowns when she spent some time with us, but I did not. Her impressions of the F3 were nothing but good, and she was also a former RT buff.

    It will take some getting used to, but I really like the looks and the orange color. I'm taking a chance, but also have a plan B.

    I started out with a RS, then a RTS, and ended with a F3T. I have to admit that I loved all three, but most of it depended on how I was riding. When ryding alone the F3T was the best, but two-up the RTS was the way to go. As for the RS I liked it ryding single, but my wife would not go long trips with me. The F3T she did like ryding with me.

    We have pretty much the same experience as far as machines go. Similar experiences with the GS, RS, and RT's. The F3L is going to be a whole new experience.
