First post in the new Spyder F3 board

If it is priced near 20k for a base bike, many will take a hard look at the slingshot. Imo. :lecturef_smilie:

I agree,

It is going to have to be significantly under 20 k. there is a sponsoring dealer on the slingshot forum that has a out the door price for the base slingshot at 21 k, and he is playing no games with markup etc.

This bike has more going on with it than the top of the line RS (which is 20K), so how in the world do you guys think it's gonna come "significantly" lower than 20K.... :lecturef_smilie:

DUE FOR A NEW

I'M DUE FOR A NEW SPYD3R....
MY'09 RS SE5 HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE... NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER, AND IT HAS GIVEN ME PERFECT SERVICE FOR OVER 40,000 MILES OF SMILES...
BUT I'M HOT ON THE NEW 1330/6 SPEED... IF THE RS ISN'T FITTED WITH THAT COMBO, AND THE F3 IS... THEN I'LL BE AN F3 MAN, EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT CRAZY ABOUT THE STYLING.... I'M MORE ABOUT PERFORMANCE... BUT IF THE RS IS FITTED WITH THE 1330/6 SPEED... THEN THAT'S BINGO FOR ME, THAT'LL BE MY NEXT RIDE.....
WE'LL SEE IN ANOTHER COUPLE WEEKS WHAT BRP IS OFFERING....

Inline triple sound

I've had three triples in motorcycles and all three had a similar sound to them. The 1979 Yamaha XS750 Special had an almost diesel sound to it. The 1996 Triumph Adventurer 900 was somewhat like that but could also have an almost aircraft engine sound to it (think P-51 Mustang or British Spitfire swooping in). The 2010 Triumph Rocket III Touring somewhat similar but had a deeper sound to it, almost like a big marine engine (like a PT Boat or a big old Chris Craft cabin cruiser with an inline six or eight cylinder engine). None of these triples sounded anything like a Harley but each had a kind of cool sound of their own. I'm betting the new F3 will have a sound that falls somewhere in the range of the three triples I've had. Not a bad sound, but different.

I agree! I love my GS/RS, but it would be hard to deny the ACE motor in an RS styled Spyder. Can't wait till the reveal!

I was thinking the same as you, but then after thinking more (It started to hurt after a while) To put the 1330 in an RS or ST you
would end up with the front of your Spyder looking as wide and similar to an RT, so an even wider front with skinny rear, not sure how that would look as an RS to be honest, maybe an ST. Just sharing my thoughts.
