• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Some F3 Video and Pictures

    Not rude, but I must've chose my words poorly-- I'm not making a negative comment about the F3, I'm observing that the frunk is a compromise (among others) that represents a sacrifice to those of us who got used to-- and really liked-- having the frunk available on all other Spyder models...

    annybody switching for the f3

    I tend to be opposed to motorcycle cruisers for the same reasons: slow-speed control, stability, and dear God, why do they all have to be so HEAVY?? But for the above, obvious reasons, I can't imagine any of those downsides of forward controls on two-wheels carries over to the three-wheeled...

    Slingshot

    Totally accept the MSRP-- there's a LOT of interest, plenty of dealers have already pre-sold their initial allotments, so the market is speaking-- but that setup fee is frakkin' theft. :shocked:

    Spyder stolen @ gun point

    I'm a very cynical man, I admit, but this was my first thought, too. :dontknow:

    Some F3 Video and Pictures

    My worry is that the shape appears to presuppose the helmet goes in first, then there's room on top for maybe a few flattish-things. Problem is, I imagine I'm like 99% of Spyder owners who carry stuff in the *bottom* of their frunk, and place their helmet atop it. For example, I carry an...

    Some F3 Video and Pictures

    Great videos, thanks. I just wish somebody would take a vid/photo of the frunk with a ff helmet in it, just so you can really see how much space is in that frunk.

    F3-S Touring Escape Package

    In order to justify the cost of an F3, I'd have to make it my daily driver like my RS. I get by with the frunk and soft bags on my RS for errands/light grocery runs/etc., but right off the bat the F3 loses half the native storage. I'd love to have integrated side bags, but at that price (not...

    New F3 video we took just after our ride

    Hey man, stop hogging all the demo Spyders and ship some of those over here, I wanna try! :doorag: :2thumbs:

    cheap spyder on ebay

    Scam. Just Google "Oil Rig Scam" and you'll see it's quite commonplace. Simple rule: if you ever see a vehicle for sale that's more than 10% less than the current market value, you're approaching 99% scam territory. Honestly, that's what I don't get-- I know there's a sucker born every...

    the lack of tunes

    I've never had a bike with a radio, have always figured that anything loud enough for me to hear at speed is going to be too loud for the people around me (and too drowned out for me to enjoy). Sena speakers in the helmet give me clear-sounding music at any speed (and while wearing ear plugs!)...

    Rack/top case options for F3?

    Yeah, saw that. Pretty neat, but not a top-box compatible rack, obviously. Guess I'll just wait and see what the aftermarket can come up with.

    Spyder-blind Stop Lights!

    Ditto Virginia-- law recently changed to allow turning left after waiting two light cycles. As I like to ride my Ninja out in the weekend mornings when I'm the only vehicle on the road, I'd *never* be able to (legally) turn left without that change!

    Cycle Word- 2015 Can-Am Spyder F3 – First Ride

    This was good for the simple reason the author acknowledges the primary complaint of the anti-Spyder crowd: "It's not a motorcycle!", delivered with the subtext of, "... so stop pretending you can ride, you unskilled, scared poseur!" I can, and do, ride two wheels. I also ride three. (I even...

    Rack/top case options for F3?

    I didn't see any option for an F3 equivalent to the RS "sport rack" that could potentially accommodate a top case. Is there such a thing? Honestly, all the F3 reviews have got me more excited than I probably should be given my bank account :shocked:, but one thing holding me back from being...

    Motorcyclist review of F3

    Verdict only 6 out of 10, but the text reads far better than the score: http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/reviews/2015-can-am-spyder-f3-first-ride Guess that's the trouble when getting a two-wheeler reviewer onto a Spyder for the first time: they spend all their brief time unlearning two...

    F3 Frunk... any pictures?

    Same thing I do with my RS, since my frunk's so full of tools, towels, gloves and other :cus: that I can only fit one helmet in there anyway: coil lock through the grab bars. Is there no option for a liner in the F3 frunk? Even if you lose a little space, it's so much more convenient (I'd...

    GOT IN A SLINGSHOT THE OTHER DAY.

    I don't get why folks here keep comparing apples to oranges. The Slingshot isn't a good touring vehicle because it's not a touring vehicle, nor a convertible automobile. It's a local toy / track beast. It gives all the fun of a T-Rex / Morgan at a MUCH cheaper price. It's not competition...

    Yamaha Joins The Trike Party

    I don't get how anyone compares this to a scooter. The resemblance to the Piaggio MP3 architecture aside, you clearly sit atop the Yamaha, it's not a step-through-- that thing wouldn't ride at all like a scooter.

    Exhausted

    If we're talking the single exhaust gasket at the muffler (and NOT the Y gaskets by the header), I'm not kidding: replacing the exhaust slip gasket yourself is one of the absolute EASIEST things you can do on a Spyder next to putting gas in the tank and air in the tires. I have NO mechanical...

    what are the shifting points for the F3?

    Sledmaster, seriously, genuinely: thank you for that post. It's probably the most informative yet I've seen here about the F3, particularly in comparison to the RS and handling (see the other thread "F3 vs. RS"... your impressions would be most welcome over there I presume!). DEFINITELY...
