First F3S down under.

[bigwhammy]

Hi,
I ordered my Magnesium black F3S on 12 September 2014.
Today I picked up it up, the first one sold in Australia. Insurance companies did not even have it on their computers.
I ordered all the touring escape package and have all the bits at home for me to install (except) saddlebags (yahoo some toys to fit).
I also have BRP USB and 12 v power plugs, the internal bags for the saddlebags (they are pretty small) and heated hand grips.
As you can see it was raining. Will post a better photo when I fit all the goodies.
I have the NSW (Australia) registration Plate Black and magnesium F3S.

I had never owned or ridden a spyder before today ---- so it was super special even in the rain.
I now feel part of the fraternity.

Its home

Hi,
BRP Australia confirmed I got the first one in Australia.
I have put most of the bits on it towards a full touring escape pack. A few items were NOT easy to put on PROPERLY I think some dealers may take a few short cuts as I see a few threads that point towards dealers not fitting thing properly. If you want to know more ask me.

Like the rest of the world I have to wait for the saddlebags. I have chrome wheels and few more extras to go on. I put the obligatory spider decal on the front until I decide on a paint scheme.
Note that the Australian version gets a longer exhaust. It is huge (note also different brackets). The longer chrome one does not meet our design rules but I am getting one anyway.

I love it, FUN! fun! and more funner than I imagined - - - first Spyder I have ever ridden/owned. 150 klms and still looking for a front brake. Well worth the 9 month wait.
Bikes may have to go on the battery chargers for a while.
