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

[jonjon1981]

So, I'm not a current Spyder owner, which may invalidate my opinion but this is exactly what I've been waiting for. I've been look at the RS and ST and not particularly thrilled with either but trying to decide which I could make work with the right accessories, etc. Then I see this, and this is it. I can see myself riding down to the coffee-shop or pizza joint on the weekend and feeling cool or badass or whatever and then hoping on it afterward and heading out of town for some enjoyable, casual riding. Hope this holds true. I was starting to lean toward a HD after spending ages looking at Spyders but now I'm back to Spyders and BRP almost certainly will have a customer in me when this comes out.

:welcome: We have been discussing the F3 may entice a new bunch of riders interested in what BRP has to offer. For sure a change from the current lineup.

I'm liking it so far..... Can't wait to try one out.....:clap::yes:

This serious rider is going with the F3. :doorag:

I feel, I'm a serious rider. 3 Spyders in just shy of 6 years (Sept. 27th marks 6 years since I purchased my Spyder GS) Over 78,000 miles so far.....
.. It will be fun to see, as well, what the Spyder will be like when I'm ready to buy again!!!!

Love the new foot forward design! Looks like you can position the handlebars as high or low as you want them. (Maybe?)

Nothing like touring down the road, feet forward, the T-Bag as your backrest. Like sitting in a Lazy-Boy.

Yeah, people called my bike a bar-hopper, but I put some miles on her...

Would I trade Spydee up? Nope. Too many miles, too many memories.

 

[Elembytes]

My thought------

I like others hope they don't change all lines to be exactly like that, but I can surely see some great changes. The more open look---does away with any heat issues, if any were there. It might be easier for a lay person to work on, I say MAYBE, at least not having to mess with so much tupperware maybe.

My big concern is for leg position and short stature people like me!

Just my two cents worth but like Bob said, the clock is indeed ticking!!!! tic toc--

I like the naked look from the side a lot. The front...not loving it but it's growing on me. Need to see the lines in person. To me the front of the current Spyders is the worst angle. My RS-S looks much meaner from a 45 degree angle or the side than the bug-eyed front so maybe it'll be better.

My concern is that it doesn't look leaner than my RS-S. I'm ready to move up to more performance and at WORSE case I'd like to stay the same weight..this looks heavier in all the pics. So BRP "announced" it today but no specs. Yay.

To me, it has the look of something the boys at PJD might have dreamed up.
Of course, I could be wrong. Senior did something even more outrageous.

Just my opinion. I could be wrong.

I'm not going to have to run against you on an F3 next year am I? :yikes:

Better thant the spy pics.

I like it a LOT better than the spy pics but need to see it in person before I can say if I really like it. Besides I JUST brought home a 2014 ST-S that I LOVE!

 

[Spyder34]

my concern would be the foot peg placement and still trying to lean into the turns. would be more difficult with the feet forward design.

Not really liking the looks of this new one. But, I have been known to dislike new things before, and before you know it, Love at second site. I hated the new mustang in 94 (fell in love and purchased a 94 cobra), I hated the new ford ranger in 93 (fell in love and purchased a 94 and a 96), I hated the new edge mustang in 99 (later purchased a 03 cobra convertible), and I hated the new f-150 in 97 (later I bought a 97 ext. cab and a 02 lightning which I still own).
So, in short, if I hate something at first viewing, I usually fall in love with it later on. Only time and a test ride will tell. I will say, I like the forward controls seating position. Easier to transfer from my M109 to this.

This feels a lot like the 109. :doorag:

That's what I need:thumbup:. I was in Maggie Valley in 2013 when all of you guys were there on your spyders. I was there for the M109 pre-meet that we have done for the past 6 years. The next time there is a gathering of spyders in the Maggie Valley area, I plan on owning a spyder and being a part of that, and not just admiring them from afar:bowdown:.

with the much lower center of gravity you might not need to lean into the turns
