2015 F3 - No Camo Pics - Things are looking up!

[Dan McNally]

I like it, but I prefer the RT . . . I like the seating position and all the storage . . . got road trips planned!

I am thinking this is the year when the original RS gets spiffed up. It's a bit dated and many have been clamoring for more HP and oomph.

I have no fear that the RT is in for radical changes. The designers made most of those changes in 2014 and I don't see them spending additional dollars other than some cosmetic changes and color(s) on the touring version.

Like it. Beefed up tubular frame all the way around. Smaller diameter, slightly raised handle bars. Love the open engine concept. Not a real fan of the Chrysler style box front end, but it may grow on me. Seat doesn't look much different than the RS seat, Wonder if my old bum would feel comfy on it. Most of all, love the forward controls. That would really reduce the discomfort in the old knees and hip. I like the sporty colors. All told, I give it an 8 out of ten.

Test ride may change score.


Went back and looked again. Is it me or does the rear tire look more like a regular car tire? Also noted that one was an SM. Six i hope.

 

[NorCalBud]

I stand corrected!

I was quick to call it ghastly, but with less cover and more skin...Wow! I've never been one for that riding position, but that's why I own an RT... It, does have an aggressive, perhaps even Bad-a** look to it. It could be that I've been watching too much Sharkweek, but anybody else see Greatwhite in there somewhere? I love how sleek my RT is, but there's a lot to be said for seeing a motor....more to chrome

 

[Dragonrider]

I like it too - Look for the RT version in 2016....

Mickey Fisher loves it and wants us to build him an "Extant" theme Spyder. That will be way cool. :doorag:

 

[finless]

Still not a look I like sorry.... I assume this is what they had to do to cram the 1330 in the RS and get the radioators way up front?
It looks like too much up front from the rider to me e.g. out of balance in the look.
I guess if you put the RT rear end on it, it would look better.

I love it and I knew I would from the spy photos. The handlebars seem a little cramped for those riders that were testing it, but probably would be perfect for someone of my stature. Not sure about the forward controls, that could take some getting used to, and it would definitely need more storage and a windshield if this was to replace my 2008 GS. I can't wait to test ride one!!

:yes:

 

[SpyderGirl]

50/50 here. Dont like the front end either but I can see that it would allow for a lot of airflow. And I would have to ride it to evaluate that riding position. The bars seem to be a little high. Lets just hope they test this one a little more before they release it. Oh yeah that’s right that’s what we always hope for (doesn’t seem to happen).

I agree, the bars seem a bit awkward to me.

 

[DrewNJ]

The only thing that can ruin that spyder now is to find out they went small on the powerplant or if it weighs in at RT level heft. The 1330 isn't my first choice but if its smaller than that its a deal killer. Hopefully we won't be disappointed....

Lamont, fire up the F3 forum!.....[emoji41]

 

[Showie]

I question the authenticity of the PICs nojoke. There is not a beer belly to be seen :roflblack:

 

[vampyregirl]

I don't care for the front grill. Looks too much like a car to me. The handlebars seem to be positioned a bit awkward too. The nekkid look???!!! I like that!!! Not sure it won't be so hot on the legs though..... I'll have to go take a peek when they get to the showrooms!!!

 

[SpyderGirl]

This will definitely target a different market of Spyder owners. I have a feeling that most of the current owners won't like this. This seems to appeal more to a younger crowd IMHO. Maybe that's why I like it.

I love the naked look too!! The seating position does seem a bit on the awkward side for sure.

 

[Chupaca]

It's a looker..!!

not my choice but will be for many..but what will it be..?? RS/RSS/ST or a new catagory..?? :dontknow:

 

[SpyderAnn01]

I'll stick with my RT, thanks. Don't think the forward controls would be comfortable for me.

 

[cptjam]

interesting

If it is fast, and handles, rides cooler, and is reliable, I am in! have a reasonable price, please!

 

[NM Wrench]

Price?

I wonder what the price point will be on this model? I do like the looks of it though. I like the forward foot position also. Can't wait to see this in person if this is the production model! :yes::bowdown:

I like the look for the most part. It will be nice to get my butt on one to get the feel of it. Appears to be an official photo shoot. They will have to delete all the pictures of the orange one with the front tires on backwards. :roflblack::roflblack:
