    Default up close with an f3

    I stopped by my local dealer and sat on the f3. Very different from my RT. I didn't have time for a test ride, I'm sure it's quick. It seemed like a stripped down version of the RS imho at their price point. I did like the seating position and look of it and I'm sold on the 1330.

    Default I agree

    I also would need to take one for a demo ride first. Never bought a vehicle without first taking a test drive. I'm just waiting it out for both the weather to warm-up and for my dealer to get them in his showroom.

    Over 35 motorcycle years waiting for spring. Rode today 71 degrees here in las Vegas. Lots of bikes/exotic cars enjoying Red Rock canyon. F3 test drive on my calender.

    It's funny, I bought my 2008 GS in 2007 before I even seen one. I knew I had to have it at the time. A test drive on the F3 will most likely set the hook.

    Default I must be conservative!!!

    I've been riding motorcycles legally with a motorcycle endorsement for going on 45 years and I'm now on my sixteenth bike. I can't imagine having sixty, but you have to consider that I've only had one at a time. I have demo ridden dozens more, but demos are something I like to do a few times a year.

    I was known as a bikaholic. No current cure available. Honestly, I don't want one! Lol. Fortunately, I have an understanding wife.
