Hi,
I ordered my Magnesium black F3S on 12 September 2014.
Today I picked up it up, the first one sold in Australia. Insurance companies did not even have it on their computers.
I ordered all the touring escape package and have all the bits at home for me to install (except) saddlebags (yahoo some toys to fit).
I also have BRP USB and 12 v power plugs, the internal bags for the saddlebags (they are pretty small) and heated hand grips.
As you can see it was raining. Will post a better photo when I fit all the goodies.
I have the NSW (Australia) registration Plate Black and magnesium F3S.
I had never owned or ridden a spyder before today ---- so it was super special even in the rain.
I now feel part of the fraternity.

and But........... ya shoulda got the red one!!! Just kidding. If you're like me, you'll be grinning ear to ear every time you look at it, much less take her out for a ride!. ENJOY!!
Welcome to the family. My F3 is the first in Northern Nevada, might be the whole state for all I know. Not a whole country, but what the hell... Congrats.
Hi,
BRP Australia confirmed I got the first one in Australia.
I have put most of the bits on it towards a full touring escape pack. A few items were NOT easy to put on PROPERLY I think some dealers may take a few short cuts as I see a few threads that point towards dealers not fitting thing properly. If you want to know more ask me.
Like the rest of the world I have to wait for the saddlebags. I have chrome wheels and few more extras to go on. I put the obligatory spider decal on the front until I decide on a paint scheme.
Note that the Australian version gets a longer exhaust. It is huge (note also different brackets). The longer chrome one does not meet our design rules but I am getting one anyway.
I love it, FUN! fun! and more funner than I imagined - - - first Spyder I have ever ridden/owned. 150 klms and still looking for a front brake. Well worth the 9 month wait.
Bikes may have to go on the battery chargers for a while.

Hi, We only get balck and Magnesium /black ones no white
not sure if Australia is getting red ones
Yep, red ones are here in Oz ! Looks great, and should have it in our driveway this week, then the fun will really start. Enjoy your new beauty - there's a gathering in Echuca in November, and then the spydermuster next April in Talbingo NSW. Maybe see you there?
First F3S down under.
