Has the F3 been improved?

[Darren111]

Is there a lady behind that name choice?

Our new one is "Trinity"
It's the third one, and she was a pretty tough lady! :thumbup:

The lady behind the name choice is beach babe Pamela Anderson. :yes:

A very fine choice! :bowdown:

 

[Wildrice]

I suspect that you just caught with one of those "first year disaster" builds. nojoke
While they are still essentially the same bike: they have made significant quality control upgrades, and added new models that DO offer new features. :thumbup:

Happy Shopping! :yes:

Bob--is this You???

Hi Bob, its the former £1000.00. I was going to give it to charity but a friend advised me to sell it to someone that really wants it. I have a queue of peopling wanting to buy it, but I have told them I won't be selling it for a good few years because firstly I have an attachment to my F3-S and secondly I await for that special second Spyder to come into my life. Most of you know I call my Spyder "Sandra" the next Spyder in my life will be called "Pamela".:roflblack:

I have never named my bikes or cars. I called my F3 "The Machine"

In case a prospective new owner is scanning these threads before making a buying decision, I'll add:
2015 F3 SE6, 11k miles, zero problems, except when I put in the owner-manual-recommended amount
of oil during an oil change, resulting in excess oil running down the fill tube. Not the fault of the bike at all;
the book was wrong.

Very happy with the F3 and also with the 2008 GS Spyder I used to own.

2016 and love it

I do miss my F3. But it was a first year model and was nothing but trouble for me. So I wonder if they worked out the bugs.

I have a 2016 F3T and love it! humms like a well oiled sewing machine.

4 honda crv's

I understand. I purchased a Honda CRV, would never own another Honda because I had nothing but problems with it since day one. Other people would never own anything but a Honda.

I've owned 4 Honda crv's over the last 15 years and not one of them so much as coughed - except the one that got hit by lightning while we were driving it! It still got us home!!!:clap:

 

[OJ UK]

More of the same!

Yep! I also had a '15 F3S. Loved it.
It did have a couple of problems all sorted out under guarantee.
The power steering failed and was replaced. Both front discs were replaced
as they had warped. Other than that it was great.
Took it for a service at 158 Performance late last year and ended up buying an ex-demo
F3T with just 200 miles on it for a HUGE discount and was given a generous
part exchange price for the F3S, more than I could hope to get even in a private sale!
On top of that they included the top case kit at no extra charge and they transferred all
of the extras on the F3S to the F3T (Foot boards, Lamonster exhaust and helmet hooks etc.)
free of charge. Here's the new one:

Ok, guys, stop rubbing it in :spyder:

Face it: We've got you hooked, and we're not letting go! :thumbup:

It would be nice to have one. But the $10K I put down on the first one is gone

The lady behind the name choice is beach babe Pamela Anderson. :yes:

hopefully the Pam Anderson 15-20 years ago and not the current version :barf:

did you sell it?

 

[Rogue Hawk]

did you sell it?

I sold it to iMotorsports. So I could cover my loan.

Very sorry to hear that but one idea you might consider is that there are many 2015 F3S for sale around the country with lots of equipment added selling in the $12k range. Take out a loan for one with a small down payment and you likely will not be any further in debt than you were when you sold yours. Perhaps a bit better. They are still new enough to get BEST coverage if they do not have it in many cases. Many already do.

Just an idea to get you riding again.
