well, this week i checked the alignment on the spyder. i expected to have to make some corrections, but, both front wheels were 1.5 degrees toe in. i then hooked up the buds to check the steering angle sensor. zero degrees center! brp must be stepping up! i took the spyder for a ride today. since i am still in the break in period, i rode very moderate.
my observations. very smooth power midrange. tracked very well. curves were very smooth. as far as the windshield, very smooth wind management. what i mean is i feel the wind over my helmet. i wear a full face helmet, no buffeting, this is an advantage for anyone wearing a full face helmet as far as using the vents.in my experience in the 2 wheel world of motorcycles, this wind management is normal. on my previous rt spyder, the feeling going down the road was more or less being in a cocoon. in the rt you are very protected from the elements. on the f3, the seating position is more like being on a motorcycle. i did take it down the freeway to 70 mph. i took it easy as far as being in break-in. handled very well. as i am accelerating i can tell this f3 has a lot of torque on tap. in southeastern ohio there are alot of hills and curves. this motorcycle was like a slot car. cant wait until the break-in is done.
