    Default Where is the tunes

    I been looking and don't see a radio. I see you can add a wind screen add bags but why not audio? My other half has a street glide he was thinking of trading for the f3. He is up in the air but he pulls a trailer with his harley and listens to music and he says there is no option for that on the F3.

    I have a radio on my Rt but since getting a smart phone and Bluetooth headsets it doesn't get used. We just stream music from our phones.

    After having a great radio on my bikes for the last decade, I don't know that I'd want a bike without tunes of some kind. And disliking full face helmets, and comm systems, I really appreciate the Spyder's sound system. It's every bit as good as that on my BMW, and better than my GW. However, I use my iPod for music almost exclusively - I find the excessive talking and commercials more than distracting.

    The RT gives one the choice. If you chose a $14K RS, fine, no tunes, but when you hit the mid $20K range, there should be no excuse for not having a decent sound system. JMHO

    "Power Cruisers"; are about attitude...
    BRP may figure that folks riding around listening to Julie Andrews on an F3; might hurt their public image!
