• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Leftover new 2016 F3T?

Soooo when I talked about finalizing the deal they suddenly said oh btw it's either or ��Either I take the discount OR it goes back up to 24,999 and 0%. Uh no thank you and my shopping continues. I bet the deal will get sweeter with time. I think I will finish out the season on my Harley and add to my fleet as cold weather and new models roll in.

:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown: It sounds like the right decision. Some dealers just don't get it. There are a lot of things to play with when it comes to the OTD price. Dealers hope for customers not in the know. You are not one of them. :yes::yes:

Right now--it is a buyers market for sure.

Do ALL 17 F3 models have the smaller sprocket? I understood the base Model with the reduced Horse Power received the smaller Sprocket to help the acceleration? :dontknow:


The 2017 F3 Limited also has the smaller rear sprocket. Higher gearing - same as the RT.
 
Has anybody picked up a leftover 2016 lately? I found one near me and it's a white F3-T with audio. CanAm is having a special 0% for 60 months right now. Their "selling" price is $21,989 + prep shipping tax tags and blah blah blah. What do you guys/gals think? I'm ready to ryde but still searching for that "one" deal that might be out there and I know the 2018's are right around the corner.

I just picked up a 2016 F3T SM6 w/radio for my wife on Saturday for $19,999. No freight or prep charges. $1074 for tax title and license. So out the door price was $21,073.

Is this the same Poseidon from the M109 forums, with the victory? Either way, welcome to the family.
 
Hey guys and gals - it's me again........ so I got an email from one of my spyder friends on here and they recommended I take a look at a dealer who appears to have a great deal on a 2016. I spoke with them and it's available. Even with shipping it is less than any close to me. So question....... it is a manual. I've searched and not unsure but does the 2016 have an easier clutch? I've read about the vacuum assist (which I'm sure I would want). And I know it's apples and oranges but my test ride was on a SE and that thing was very smooth. So go with a manual🤔 Or SE 🤓
 
It really depends on what you want. I would not let the manual clutch to be a deal breaker for you if you are comfortable with it (manual) and have test ridden a Spyder with manual clutch. However, if you really like the SE performance, then I would hold out for an SE.
 
My 2014 RT was a manual and I thought it was a dream to shift after coming off a Suzuki Boulevard M109. But last year I picked up a 2012 RSS in the SE5 (semi auto) form. That thing was awesome to drive. When I decided to get rid of both spyders and pick up a F3T, I decided that auto was the way for me to go. They are priced between $1,000 and $1,600 higher, but if you go to sell, that is the one item that you will get most of your investment back on. I still like the manual, and would possibly get one, but if a possible resale is in your future, the SE version is your best bet.

:agree: Resale value will be much higher down the road IMHO!

Good questions.... I'm not sure if any of the F3's come with the vacuum assist as standard equipment... but you'll want it. The clutch is a pretty hard pull. Day and night difference when I installed mine on my 2015 F3. Maybe the higher end models have it standard? Your dealer can install it... it's about $160 in parts... probably 1.5 hrs labor.
 
Well

I would suggest the SE as it will sell for more when you move on. It appeals to more people, and allows you do shift up and down if you want so there is Rally no downside to the SE, except a slight difference in price.
 
I purchased a new 2016 f3 limited in April for $22,100 out the door except for sales tax.

Having spent the last several weeks leading BRP demo rydes I can tell you that the DPS has become lighter, not too sure better. Also on the 17 F3 L I can tell you that the performance has changed a lot. They now have a much smaller rear sprocket which has taken a lot of the fun out of the ryde!


The F3 Basic has a smaller sprocket but the F3-L does not
