YOU GOT THAT RIGHT

VERY good point... :2thumbs:
And since a lot of motorcycle marketing, is about image... :thumbup:

:lecturef_smilie:....Probably 90 % of all Harley's are sold because of it ..............because I doubt if it's the innovations or handling :gaah:.....JMHO......Mike :thumbup:

Please remember: they're doing a much better job of keeping the oil on the inside of the engine cases these days...
They've got the entire decade of the 2020s, for addressing handling issues! :roflblack:

I can tell you this now. The F3 will pull away at every shift from a reverse GL1800 trike Got to play a little last night. The comment from the owner was "I need to lose weight " [emoji41]

I have owned and ridden every Spyder to date and to me the F3 is hands down the funnest Spyder I have ever ridden. It handles great bone stock and the major thing you'll notice is sitting in the bike and not on top of the bike just feels right. I hope you enjoy your test drive as much as I did. :doorag:

I have to agree with Lamont here:bowdown:. The F3 handles very well bone stock, and sitting down and back makes all the difference in the dynamic of how the bike reacts and interacts with you and the road. The key factor is putting the rider's center of gravity closer to the machine's roll center, creating a shorter lever arm. You stay planted instead of having that sensation of getting pitched off the seat going around a corner. Sure, it still helps to lean into a corner, but it makes the riding experience far less intimidating and more fun, IMO. It just feels right, despite what you might think. Try it for yourself.

Question: Do you think that the re-packaging of the bike, has RAISED the overall center of gravity for the bike?
The rider is about 4" lower; the fuel tank has GOT to be about 15 or more higher... :shocked:

Is that an important issue? :dontknow:
