    Default I have been waiting for this

    Back in 2009 I wrote letters and sent emails to BRP inquiring as to future plans to build a spyder in this style. I do not consider myself a "biker" and never really had a thing for harleys, but I love this seating position. In 2010 I was heartbroken to see that the new model was going to be the RT. I had even saved a copy of one of the emails to my hard drive hoping to revisit the subject at a later time. Sadly my hard drive failed and I lost the copy I had. I ride an RS-S now, partly because it is (in my opinion) the best looking spyder in the lineup, and mostly because it allows me to "play" the hardest when I feel like it. I am feeling a bit slighted by the fact that I didn't get to beta test this new model, but what am I gonna do about it. I am thinking about buying one, but time will tell.

    Just sayin'............
    Three in the garage, and I think I can fit at least one more in.....and then we will have to build another garage.
    The roads in NY are so bad that I am glad we bought a Ryker Rally

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

    Default me too

    but i never dreamed it would ever happen. had no idea it was even in the pipeline. i love harleys, always have. it's all i've ever owned , until the spyder came along. they have the most comfortable riding position ever, imo. for me the F3 will be the best of both worlds. can't wait to ride one.
    it was fun while it lasted.
