I am new to this forum. I would be interested in an F3S if a dealer opened in Portugal, the country I live in. I am a Brit. I have noted that Slovenia, Slovakia and other relatively minor countries economically have dealers established, so hopefully it won't be long.

I have been a motorcyclist since 1971, but, at 61, could well be tempted on to one of these bikes. To be honest, it's partly the fact that an F3 would be pretty damn hard to fall off. I don't make a habit of falling off motorbikes, but as all experienced bikers will agree, it really hurts when you do.

One thing that bothers me, though is reliability. I would have faith in the Rotax engine, but the bike does appear to have some pretty complex electronics, as a lot of modern machines do. To date, my Suzuki B-King has been faultless (18,000 miles), and I would hope that the Can-Am could match that.

Has anyone any comments?
