2015 F3 - No Camo Pics - Things are looking up!

[Kratos]

Now we talking. I'll be lurking here all day......LOL.

As an RSS owner I am disappointed in what I see here.
I hope its not a replacement for the RS/RSS.

That said, the orange and black looks like it is a possible RSS replacement and that maybe the whole lineup got a new look.

It looks like a cross between a black and decker tool and a dodge charger.

I liked the old look, the front could have used a little more styling like the ST.
I just wanted a faster, more powerful RSS (and unlike mine, one that worked)

Very disappointed. I hope they surprise me, but instead of upgrading to a 2015 I may ditch my 2012 for a Slingshot.

Hang in there. Most are guessing F3 is an addition to the line and not a replacement for the RS/RSS.

I see that and agree... but the orange and black model scares me that they all have gotten a similar look / style.
I've had so many problems that my dealer has told me they'd twist BRPs arm to get a good price on a 2015 to get me out of the 2012.... but I really don't like the front end on this thing, even if the rest of the RSS keeps the same riding style...

(That said, what do you think my dealer means by saying get a good price out of BRP? We know BRP can discount a year old model by $4000.... for unending service visits, I would think BRP should at least offer a similar amount)

I'm with you on this one.

I am an original Spyder owner and still proudly ride my 2008 Premier Edition GS. I love this new Spyder! Not so sure about the feet forward riding, but I think with some aftermarket saddlebags and a windshield, this could easily replace my 2008. I look forward to seeing what aftermarket products become available for this.

It definitely seems geared towards the Harley/cruiser crowd. I never was a big fan of cruiser two-wheelers (I was a sport bike gal), but as a 3 wheeler, I could rock this.

Check back here in a couple of hours

You're looking at the wrong thread.

[SpyderGirl]

Oh... and would you people PLEASE stop comparing this to the Slingshot. They are nothing alike. The Slingshot is a three-wheeled car.... this is a three-wheeled motorcycle. It's apples to oranges. I already have a car, I want a motorcycle and the Slingshot isn't it.... but THIS is! I'm going out of my mind waiting to hear more.

Found it, thanks.
It has been a long day, and the ride home in the monsoon must have affected me more than I thought. Maybe another ride will straighten me out.

Just sayin'............

[coz]

it is THE most comfortable of all riding positions. i don't really see it being a problem in the twisties either, unless you REALLY tear it up. i'm not a tearing it up kind of guy these days, but i have my moments. i look forward to an F3 test ride.

[smoky]

it's been worked on with a dull can opener...serious riders will hang with the RTs....

This serious rider is going with the F3.

that's some funny s#&t . i'm sure there are some .. the f3 is for me. ps. i can't believe all the hate this new design is getting. it's likely to add thousands of new spyder riders. maybe some of them will actually like to ride.

[Bob Denman]

I can't wait to try one on for size...

[Dochands]

I am hoping that the pictures are still design camoflauge. Love the bigger engine if that is true but it is a ridiculous design if that is really it. We've gone from bike of the future to Klik and Klac's Garage Design Challenge. lol

So, I'm not a current Spyder owner, which may invalidate my opinion but this is exactly what I've been waiting for. I've been look at the RS and ST and not particularly thrilled with either but trying to decide which I could make work with the right accessories, etc. Then I see this, and this is it. I can see myself riding down to the coffee-shop or pizza joint on the weekend and feeling cool or badass or whatever and then hoping on it afterward and heading out of town for some enjoyable, casual riding. Hope this holds true. I was starting to lean toward a HD after spending ages looking at Spyders but now I'm back to Spyders and BRP almost certainly will have a customer in me when this comes out.

We have been discussing the F3 may entice a new bunch of riders interested in what BRP has to offer. For sure a change from the current lineup.

[Bigtow]

I'm liking it so far..... Can't wait to try one out.....

[Greg H.]

This serious rider is going with the F3.

I feel, I'm a serious rider. 3 Spyders in just shy of 6 years (Sept. 27th marks 6 years since I purchased my Spyder GS) Over 78,000 miles so far.....
.. It will be fun to see, as well, what the Spyder will be like when I'm ready to buy again!!!!

[Yazz]

Love the new foot forward design! Looks like you can position the handlebars as high or low as you want them. (Maybe?)

Nothing like touring down the road, feet forward, the T-Bag as your backrest. Like sitting in a Lazy-Boy.

Yeah, people called my bike a bar-hopper, but I put some miles on her...

Would I trade Spydee up? Nope. Too many miles, too many memories.

[Elembytes]

I like others hope they don't change all lines to be exactly like that, but I can surely see some great changes. The more open look---does away with any heat issues, if any were there. It might be easier for a lay person to work on, I say MAYBE, at least not having to mess with so much tupperware maybe.

My big concern is for leg position and short stature people like me!

Just my two cents worth but like Bob said, the clock is indeed ticking!!!! tic toc--

[NetJunkie]

I like the naked look from the side a lot. The front...not loving it but it's growing on me. Need to see the lines in person. To me the front of the current Spyders is the worst angle. My RS-S looks much meaner from a 45 degree angle or the side than the bug-eyed front so maybe it'll be better.

My concern is that it doesn't look leaner than my RS-S. I'm ready to move up to more performance and at WORSE case I'd like to stay the same weight..this looks heavier in all the pics. So BRP "announced" it today but no specs. Yay.

[ThreeWheels]

To me, it has the look of something the boys at PJD might have dreamed up.
Of course, I could be wrong. Senior did something even more outrageous.

Just my opinion. I could be wrong.

I'm not going to have to run against you on an F3 next year am I?

[kinggeek]

I like it a LOT better than the spy pics but need to see it in person before I can say if I really like it. Besides I JUST brought home a 2014 ST-S that I LOVE!
