That was the way I took it. I cannot see BRP stopping the production of the RS unless they were coming up with newer model. It is the cheapest model that you can buy, most exhilarating ride, and in my opinion the most aesthetically looking of all the Spyder models. Granted I have not had that much time on the F3. (only about 45 mins).
And a new design is very much due.... There hasn't been a major upgrade to the original 08 RS model. Just little wrinkles here and there.
