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

[StealthSpyder]

what have you seen? I said what's in front of me.. My jacket was incrusted with ice... my hands shook when I asked for coffee .. the waitress took it to where I sat,, the local Law just stared at me.... I stuffed newspaper in my jacket.. and hit the road again...finally somewhere in New Mexico I had had enough... the interstate was 2 ruts in the snow... I purchaced a 1/2 pint of whiskey and I don't drink that stuff... took a hot bath as I have a leg missing and one has to watch out for the wayward soap when standing up... finally made it to Arizona . to a friends place in Rimrock.. it was so much warmer there..

took the south way home.. with much rain.. at least it didn't stick to my chest

"Mr. Madison, what you've just said... is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul..."

Lamont,
do you think that the cruiser style will translate well to the cornering of a Spyder?
With your feet out in front, and lateral forces trying to push you sideways off the seat...
Do you think that folks can get used to not having their feet under them?

[StealthSpyder]

It's NOT an RS!

Bob has already been sternly talked to about that remark! Lol

[Bob Denman]

What do we know for sure at this point in time??

I would say 70% of the market is use to having their feet in front of them...that's why when a new guy sits on my Spyder the first thing they do is put their feet on my highway pegs.
As far as handling, well let me just say that

[Bob Denman]

Thanks!
...And you can't us anything further????????????

Can't speak for Lamont but I can say that the Suzuki M109R that I own has a feet forward, cruiser seating position. And while not ideal for cornering, it is amazingly good. The best position, of course, is the crotch rocket mode. But try doing 1,000 miles a day like that!

What I haven't read yet, is if you look closely, it appears there are 3 different models being shown.

One base model. One "sport model" being the one with rally stripes, driving lights, and a fly screen. And one higher end, with chrome bling accents. If not distinctly different sub-models, then they are showing different accessories available from BRP.

Motorcycles corner differently... The leaning helps to plant your butt into the seat in the corners.

The Spyders: not so much...

A little off subject... But MAN! This thread has LEGS!

I go away for a little while and it's at 8k views. I come back a few hours later and it's at 9k. Then just a short while later it's over 10k. These are all NEW views! You only get counted once no matter how many times you look. To me that is an amazing number of unique views.

And it tells me there is a great deal of interest in this new model from BRP. Whether you love it or hate it, this is very good news for all of us.

If the product can live up to the hype, BRP has got a winner here and it's not even out of the barn yet.

Not bad at all BRP!

Bob! You are on a roll! You're right again! Have you changed your medication or something?

I have floor boards on my 2012 RT and ride with my feet forward most of the time. I actually feel better in the corners that way then with my feet under me. JMHO!

[Bob Denman]

I'm one of those, "If my feet aren't under me; I must be nervous!", kind of riders...
That's why I needed to hear something from the other side of the fence!

Looking at the pictures again. I see in the 13th photo that the F3 is behind a bright red RT. I guess they may be bringing back that colour. v I always loved that red. Wish they had it on the ST.

P.S. The tubular frame is growing on me. Especially in orange.

I never liked the look of my GS from the front. LOVED the look from the sides and rear. Put a big ol windshield on it and it makes it look worse (right arntufun). Not to mention the ugly bug eye lights. IMHO.

with Ron:" I like my RS but really, I've been wanting a MORE RS... RS, if you know what I mean. I'm looking for a less refined, more In-Your-Face machine. I think that BRP is on to something by accentuating the frame and making it part of the look rather than the current Tupperware treatment. The long/low/mean 'Tank' treatment reminds me of something that I can't quite put my finger on yet. But I really like it."

The F3 look is awesome and if it can handle like my GS than I'm all over this!

VERY nice catch!!!

[ataDude]

I like it!

[Bob Denman]

'Dude...
Are you peeking over the fence for a reason???

So.. here's another fodder topic.

You know how most automakers have a similar design cue in its lineup? Fords have that Ford grill, Mazdas share some common look, etc. Where do you think Can Am is heading with the F3? Its such a styling departure from their current lineup that raises a question. Will future RS, ST and RTs be following this "catfish" mouthed look? Discuss...

New news??????? Just passing on what I heard today.

Came from dealer this AM. Salesman said BRP was going to make an announcement on the F3 in a day or so.

It's planned for today (here in Quebec). Too many pics of the 2015 Spyder F3 are on Forums and Facebook. BRP will confirm the new 2015 F3 model.

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.
