    Can't wait to see it in person. One thing I know for sure is that the very first mod has to be exhaust. No way this monster bike can sound like stock spyders usually do. It just wouldn't look right. Since it has the "biker" look, it needs to have the biker sound.

    Default The Missing Link

    Not the fella atop the machine, but the machine itself,...

    This hits the Cruiser, Bagger market perfectly, something BRP was missing with the Spyder.

    Relaxed seating position.
    Feet forward
    Small or no faring
    Back sweeping bars
    Rakish styling
    Appears to have saddle bag mounts

    I really like it, and more over, I like what it brings to the Spyder line-up overall!

    Hi Lamonster,

    Since this new machine is all the buzz on here, I thought I would offer my thoughts.

    And they are worth what you paid for them.

    1. I really like the bold look; i.e., the new front end. It looks more like what I would want for these machines.

    2. I would like to see an optional smaller engine ( if, in fact, it will have the 1330 engine ). Some of us would be quite happy with a 600 cc engine.

    3. I hope ( but doubt ) that it has an optional SE shifting mechanism.

    OK, everyone sit back, relax & have a beer; time will tell.

    I am guessing the beta testing has already been completed. As usual, nobody called me--even though I could have given them a couple hundred miles a day. Almost that many miles are on my new 2014 though--so I am happy.

    since I believe that is the first joint venture muffler from Brp/Akropovic venture, I doubt it will sound anything like a stock spyder

    I hope you're right. This bike needs a strong sound to sell it's Harley look. If it's not strong enough, I'll make sure it gets the exhaust it deserves.

    I agree,

    It is going to have to be significantly under 20 k. there is a sponsoring dealer on the slingshot forum that has a out the door price for the base slingshot at 21 k, and he is playing no games with markup etc.

    This bike has more going on with it than the top of the line RS (which is 20K), so how in the world do you guys think it's gonna come "significantly" lower than 20K....

    Default Inline triple sound

    I've had three triples in motorcycles and all three had a similar sound to them. The 1979 Yamaha XS750 Special had an almost diesel sound to it. The 1996 Triumph Adventurer 900 was somewhat like that but could also have an almost aircraft engine sound to it (think P-51 Mustang or British Spitfire swooping in). The 2010 Triumph Rocket III Touring somewhat similar but had a deeper sound to it, almost like a big marine engine (like a PT Boat or a big old Chris Craft cabin cruiser with an inline six or eight cylinder engine). None of these triples sounded anything like a Harley but each had a kind of cool sound of their own. I'm betting the new F3 will have a sound that falls somewhere in the range of the three triples I've had. Not a bad sound, but different.

    I agree! I love my GS/RS, but it would be hard to deny the ACE motor in an RS styled Spyder. Can't wait till the reveal!

    I was thinking the same as you, but then after thinking more (It started to hurt after a while) To put the 1330 in an RS or ST you
    would end up with the front of your Spyder looking as wide and similar to an RT, so an even wider front with skinny rear, not sure how that would look as an RS to be honest, maybe an ST. Just sharing my thoughts.
