Okay I finally hit my dealer up for a test ride on a F3. I resisted it until now, I didn't like the seating position and didn't think it would be as good my RS. Boy was I wrong, I really liked it except for the semi-auto transmission, definitely would go with the manual like my RS. The seating position did turn out to be comfortable and didn't feel that much like a cruiser to me. The lower center of gravity made it corner excellent and the ride was smoother than my RS. Now for the engine, wow the low end torque is awesome, I drove it on wet roads and I had to be careful because it broke the rear wheel loose easy at any speed. Overall it's probably not faster than my RS, but boy that low end torque is fun! So my dealer has a brand new 2015 black/chrome F3s in the crate for $18,000. There's basically no difference between the 2015 and 2016 F3 SM6 correct? Waiting to hear what he will give me on a trade for my RS. Might be an F3 rider in the near future! :thumbup:

Glad you like the F3, but you can do far better on price than $18K for a 2015. That should be around $16 tops.
Call around there are deals out there.

Some nice warm weather for November today, I was able to ride my new F3 to work. Wow I am really loving this thing! It handles the corners so well and rides very smooth. I'm loving the engine too, lots of torque and strong acceleration. I installed the gauge spoiler tonight, looks great. I loved my RS but I think I may love this more!

I know what you mean. It's going to be tough putting it away soon for the winter after I just got it. I want to keep riding it!

The upgrade !

2011 RSS, SE5 owner here who brought my F3S home last weekend... Was going to trade in the RSS but just couldn't go for the $8500 the dealer offered. Figured I'd hold it until Spring and sell it outright to a new loving home.

Love several features of my ole RSS over the F3 such as the larger frunk and racier riding position, however the low end torque and six speed transmission of the 1330 have made it so I can't look back....

Congrats! I bought the '17 Daytona last month and I have not stopped smiling! It is awesome! Ran through a little rain the other night and had to be very careful or it would break that rear wheel loose easily. I love the lower ryding position, especially on curves! You are gonna love it!!

Very nice, congrats!! I see you already have a pipe on it, Two Brothers? The low end torque is great, however I'm finding power around 7k rpm is really good and pulls hard, more so than my old RS.
