i Test Rode the F3 today
Being a RT rider for around 75,000 miles and only had rode a RS about 5 years ago. I was not impressed with the sporty RS. So I did not think I would like the F3 at all. Boy, was I surprised when I came back from the ride with a big smile. The F3 will get up and go, hold those curves like a big bike. It was a fun to ride.
There was only one problem with the F3 that I rode today, it did not have a windshield. With the temp in the low 40s and never rode a bike without a windshield, it was very cold and felt that my head would be blown off. With a windshield, it would be my #1 choice if I didn't love my 2014 RT like I do.
Go test ride the F3 and come back with a smile on your face like I did.

I test rode the F3 a few weeks ago and it is great. It handles even better and has more power and get up and go with the 1330 cc without all the back end RT stuff. I really like the change the bars and pegs option so you could make it fit your own height/riding style in only a few minutes. What i didnt like was not only was there no windsheild there was no nothing, in order to turn it into a decent sport tourer they want another 5k on top of the price already, its all stuff that has to be added on not from the factory and you still have no radio and a few other features. Im sure they will have an F3T or ST or something soon. The prices on these things keep going up though. Especially for the sport models its surprising. I can buy 3 brand new sport bikes for the price of one RS and they will dust it in every way performance wise, especially gas milage LOL
Imagine how many you would see on the road if they were a little more affordable, you can get a car for the cheapest option they offer.

Dan, all of the test Spyders have the WI 743 plate. Look at the catalogs, etc. It was the plate on the loaner I had in October of 2013 and on the test Spyder that I had in January of 2014. I didn't pay any tolls or parking meters when I was riding those Spyders.
