my F3 ride

[spydaman60]

I haven't posted to this forum in a long time. I'm a dealer, and i get to ride Spyders nearly every day. I truly appreciate each model for its strengths and weaknesses. If I had to choose one for my only Spyder to ride, it would probably be an ST. That said, I am more of a sport touring motorcycle rider, so I spend much of my free time on a Triumph Sprint ST. Its my favorite ride, until last week.
I am NOT a cruiser rider! So when BRP unveiled the F3 I wasnt thrilled. Although it is MUCH better looking in person I wasn't sold on it. Not for me says I! Then I rode it, and I was STUNNED by the handling, FLOORED by the arm stretching acceleration, THRILLED by the reduced stability controls. I will OWN the first one that hits my shop! The Sprint is history!

wow, can we trust you? that being said, maybe i'll hold on the slingshot till i can try the f3!:thumbup:

Now I can't wait. Put my deposit down yesterday for my F3-S yesterday. Was first told November delivery...today I was updated with a Jan delivery...seems like it is definitely going to be worth the wait.

Yeah! He speaks the truth! What he's said coincides entirely with Lamont's findings and we know that we can trust Lamont!

I'm having the F3 catalogue sent to me and I spoke to my dealer yesterday about projected availability in the UK.

It's butt ugly from the front, but in a nice way....aggressive and not unlike a Lotus 7.



We do lose a lot of storage compared with all other models, I'd certainly like to see bigger hard bags at the rear
but it is what it is and I coped on two wheels for 50 years so I expect I'll manage.

I'm having one before I'm too bloody old to appreciate the performance!! hyea:

Frankly, I don't think that a drag from the traffic light would be quite as appealing with a colostomy bag!!

Whenever you folks do get that giant F3 brochure

Be sure to have your Lobster Bib handy.
Firmly attached around the neck.

As there will be some extra drooling to factor into the mix. ;-)

I shall post a few home pics from this publication sonetime today.

It's so large, my flat bed scanner would only capture 1/2 a page per scan. So That's out.
Will have to use my iPad to take some snap shots.

The overhaed shot is my favorite, and really captures the essence here.
You can almost inhale and smell those lovely, new bike fumes. Hahaha

No, there isn't any GAS going on here like we acquire in the photography realm.
Ah, you do know what GAS is don't you? Gear Acquistion Syndrome.
But I do need new ryding gloves, another better helmet, some leather pants.
Those are for clubbing in, not necessarily ryding breeches. And I don't mean baby seals. :-{
