• 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.

2019 F3-S

2019 f3-s

i have a 2015 f3-s . after seeing new 2018 dash i wouldn't trade.
at 83 i couldn't read new dash - too small also way too much info
with that crazy knob. my 15 fs-3 has only 11000 miles in one year
mine is setup just right. saddle bags, top box,windshield. baja-ron
sway bar, 2 up rear shock, air hawk seat and even a handle bar
drink holder, at my age who needs a new one. ike
 
1800cc

i got my F3-S in Feb. 2015... i was hoping that BRP would up the cc's to 1800 or more for 2018 models, but it didn't happen... if or when they do up the engine displacement, that'll be my next one... until then, i'll keep my 2015...

The 2018 F3-S is unchanged from the previous years. It did not even get the new dash.

I agree its time for some performance in the line up.
 
I am thinking the next engine selection will be less rather than more. Think the $10K :spyder2: that has been talked about.

I am also holding out for an 1800 cc (prefer the GW version) also.

The market has been changing a bit this last year.

Yamaha has a new 1800CC TWIN in a touring version--called the Eluder.

Honda has revamped the GW and made it leaner and meaner.

Both are becoming good choices and at $23,500 and $23,900 both are very good entry level prices. I am seriously going to look at both, once my move is accomplished.

$10K less is a very tempting price level.
 
Next Motor

I'm not sure how much motor is enough or too much for a Spyder. I once had a 2010 Triumph Rocket III Touring which had 151 foot pounds of torque and something in the neighborhood of 120 horsepower. I don't believe we would ever need that much motor but something in the 1600cc to 1800cc size range would be nice. It could be another triple or maybe even a V4 configuration. The big touring models like the RT and F3 Limited could use the additional power & torque for two-up riding and trailer towing.

Test sat and test fired a Rocket III in about 2010. Cranking on the throttle made the bike want to lean over. I said self--this is a bit more powerful than you need. :roflblack::roflblack: Beautiful fire engine red though. :thumbup:

The answer is going to be different for everyone. That's why it would either be nice for the motor to have too much and you just use what you need or the customer have some motor choices so you can choose what you need. As of yet BRP has not given this ability to Spyder riders. ATV's.... yes, sleds..... yes, watercraft...yes................Spyder no

Would love to hear the answer.

I read somewhere a few days ago that the Spyder division is managed by different people at BRP than the "power sports" division. Maybe that's why? Maybe the power sports managers should take control of the Spyder division?
 
The simple answer to this question is that Watercraft do not have to meet the increasingly stringent Government requirements for on the road vehicles, thusly emissions and noise be damned on watercraft.
