Motorcycle.com wants to hate the F3

Watch this. Notice their facial expressions and the carful choice of words when describing their experience testing these machines. The way I read it is, they want to hate them, but they can't because they had fun riding them and recognize the advantages the front two wheels configuration has. But I don't fault them completely. They also don't want to get hate mail from the hardcore faithful, so I do recognize there reluctance to be fully truthful.

It is obvious when "newbies" to the brand do tests such as the above. When the :spyder2: came out in 2008 some of the MC magazine reviews were very interesting. They generated some interesting threads and discussions.

Also obvious, the reviewers were a bit out of their league sometimes. And then...you should have heard what the Wingers and the HD enthusiasts were saying...:yikes::yikes:

:agree:...There is a definite learning curve for Spyders, and anyone who says or has said ....".well I just got on one and could run with any crotch rocket " is smoking some pretty good stuff , and I want some :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:.................Motorcycle Mags are almost entirely dedicated to TWO WHEEL MTC'S........they will discuss the three wheel type to SELL more Mags, no other reason.....So anything they say I take with a grain of salt.....Mike :thumbup:

They were like, the government says these are motorcycles so we have to review them.

But I don't think the Spyder should be grouped with the Slingshot and Morgan since they are more car-like. The Spyder should more correctly be compared to the triked Goldwing or Tri-Glide. JMHO
