Nice review....

[Chupaca]

Here's a nice review of the new 2017 F3 Ltd...:clap::clap:

did he always have a beard

 

[Bob Denman]

That's a very pretty bike: I think that the new top trunk really improves the look! :2thumbs:

:shocked: But why did Pierre spend the first thirty seconds of the video telling us what his qualifications aren't? :dontknow:

 

[trikermutha]

I wouldn't mind that trunk on the RT :thumbup:

 

[cptjam]

???

Short pants, no gloves! Yikes!

F3-Ltd 2017

Great video!
I like the fact that the F3-Ltd has adjustable foot-boards and that the trunk is removable for those rydes when you don't need it!
THIS is the Spyder my husband has been waiting for.
Can't wait to see it altogether in person. Our dealership said the trunks wouldn't be available until November?

WELL - MAYBE

:agree: on the rear trunk ....... and maybe He wanted to avoid someone here on Spyderlovers making a SNIDE remark similar to what happened to me :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:........Mike :thumbup:

Hang in there folks...

There is a part two in the making...he went to San Diego with the bike and we had a couple hundred miles in the hills behind me. He did a good job keeping up with me in the twisties with that thing...:roflblack::roflblack:

When you speak with him again: please mention that the lack of proper riding attire was a concern... :shocked:

it's a free country so let him ride in what he wants. i tend to do the same when riding along the beach here. interstate traffic gets a little more attention

 

[Bob Denman]

While I agree with you: When you're in a video (and posing as someone with a valued opinion...): it's best to try to always set a good example for others out there. nojoke
If I were riding with Pierre, and he just wanted to wear some Oakleys and a jockstrap... I'd have no problem with it...
(As long as I was leading... :shocked

Yes Bob I have to agree! No gloves and shorts is a recipe for something unpleasant. A rock flicked up from the rear of a truck will damage you knee or shin!
Even a large flying insect will hurt like hell if it hit your knuckles! HOWEVER....The review was a good one and Pierre (the roughtie-toughtie Canadian) has a wealth of experience.....
(I have a picture somewhere of Pierre wearing a pink ballet dress.....)

But do have George in a tu tu ... Was our president and lost a bet on the fund raising for the ride for kids...:roflblack:

A great review. I like the "Harleyesque" design of the new top trunk. It will be interesting to see if they end up with just the F3 model and several ways to make it "yours."

Another alternative: re-design the top trunk on the RT to the same looks and specs. Two full face helmets are good.

No comment about the riding gear. I am sure Pierre knew exactly what he was doing. Everyone ride their own ride. I rode with jeans (Carhart's) all season this year--no protective Kevlar ones.

OK .. now there's where I'd draw the line :shocked:

The F3 was introduced as a cruiser. This looks like an RT with this large top case. Losing the low profile sporty look that drew me to the F3T .
Doesn't work for me.

If I wanted an RT, I'd have bought another RT. I also prefer the low profile look of the F3T.

As to adding or removing the top box as needed, it's not a quick change. Lamont has a video showing the process. I wouldn't want to do it much.

Obviously, it wasn't for Pierre. He just wanted to get his knees in the breeze.
