F3 Limited 2017, 2018 or 2019

I would buy the F-3T with the better sprocket and add the rear trunk

That's what I was going to do, but, I wanted the automatic rear suspension as opposed to the manual air fill one.

I just picked up a 2019 Black/Dark F3L. So far, I love it. The sound system is OK. Not anything to write home about. I can't hear it over 65mph. I haven't used the BRP Connect yet, but I did hook up my phone through BT and that worked great. One thing I didn't notice until I got in my garage, but the lights on the mirrors got deleted for the 19's. Anyone know why?

I Agree with all you say!

Well, I must have the only one out there with good speakers. My 2019 (with 20.8 firmware) sounds great at any speed. I have the treble and bass set at their midpoints and the auto volume on. I wear a full coverage Nolan helmet with earplugs and it still sounds great. I just sold my 2015 Goldwing and the Spyder is as good or better than the wing. I have no problems with any aspect of BRP Connect - love it .:dontknow:

I have a 2018 F3 Limited that I bought a few weeks ago. The stereo was not good at all. I took it to the dealer and they update the dash software to 20.8 and the stereo is WAY better among other things. I was really surprised the sound could be that much better. So you might make sure you have the latest updates.

We were looking into that but we decided on the F3L for a couple major reasons. If you are going to add a trunk anyway, there's absolutely no reason not to immediately upgrade to the L. For one, you aren't really saving any money in the long run, and you are getting a factory matched color in a factory matched style and quality trunk with an interior LED light, LED brake lights and a USB charging port. What you get for the upgrade value wise far exceeds the cost to get it close to the comfort of an L over a T. Once you add the creature comforts of heated grips and floorboards (you basically get those for free if you are planning to get a trunk anyway), then an L is what you should get anyway. The auto leveling rear suspension is also amazing and completely worth the upgrade.

to the OP: the Phoenix Orange (ESPECIALLY in the dark edition) is worth every penny of getting a '19. Also, BRP connect is garbage.
