    Hi, I ordered mine back in November in Black with the Touring Escape Package. I can hardly wait to get mine also. Traded up from a 2012 RTS.

    Yes you will love it. Were you able to test ride one? I ordered the exact same thing, but back in September, so needless to say I am tired of waiting. Home they start shipping soon. Congrats on your purchase.

    Default Time is Getting Near

    It is January and it shouldn't be long before the F3 starts showing up in dealer showrooms. Pre-ordered ones should start going home with their owners as well. In the upcoming days & weeks we'll be seeing more & more of them. You people who pre-ordered will need to get busy taking pictures and videos so the rest of us can see what having an F3 is all about.

    It ain't no ZX-14 but it's a different kind of fun. I'm use to 500hp+ bikes and yet I still get a kick out of the Spyder and especially the F3

    Yes, we did get to test ride one and that was it for me. I was hooked. I liked the RT but I'm only 37 and going from a sport bike to the RT I just was not sure about but when the F3 came out I fell in love with the look and it had the 1330

    I have been riding 2 wheels since I was 9, own a Harley for the past 14 years so to switch over was no big learning curve on the F 3. I don't care for the RT style or handling when you compare it to the F3. Test rode two months ago and still smiling. We are on the same page.

    Glad you said that because that is the same thing I told him...lol

    He currently races the Manufacturers Cup circuit so he is a speed freak. We have always had a stable of fast bikes and I will still be keeping the ZX-14. So I told him the F3 will for the down time when we're not at the drag strip.

    I've been riding my own bikes for 44 years now (wow I can't believe that) and I still love my two wheelers but the Spyder bit me in 2007 and I've been on them ever since. The RT can't be beat for touring but the F3 brings me back to my roots as far as feeling more like a motorcycle. For me it's the best of both worlds.

    Default 44 Years of Riding

    Yeah Lamont, I'm on the same page having started in 1970 on a little Honda CL90. Fifteen bikes later and here I am. I've never experienced a 500 hp motorcycle but I had a Triumph Rocket III and know what a power cruiser is all about. I've survived a couple nasty motorcycle accidents and came out pretty much ok. Helmets do save lives!! I am anxiously awaiting both the arrival of Spring and the arrival of a new F3 at my dealer so I can demo one. I just had an arthroscopy done on my left knee last month and also getting synvisc injections in my right knee. The time is upon me to make a switch from two wheels to three or at the very least something smaller & lighter. Three wheels would solve it all once and for all though!! Hurry-up Spingtime!!
