There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Not sold yet. It's just like the original RS - no windshield, bags, or rider's back rest - add $3K to get it road-able, and you have added the weight back on to it.... A FC RS?

And like the RS everything you have mentioned is already in the accessories list....Unlike the RS however BRP have seen fit to make accessories available from the
get-go. The bonus is that if you buy an accessories package there is a significant saving over buying individual items.
The mid-range torque of the 1330 triple is enough to ensure that a few pounds weight of farkles won't affect performance any more that the difference in weight between various riders.

True, but all that stuff came on my $18,000 2014 RT - and my SO will ride on the RT, which she never would on my RS... You know the saying - when she's happy, your happy.
Ah! A case of differing priorities then! There's no SO at OJ Towers so this ol' boy can do as he pleases!
I do see your point though. It's no different from HD really. You buy a bike then pay to get it how you want it.
The F3 can probably do some touring though. Take a look at the touring package here:
http://can-am.brp.com/spyder/genuin...ssories/spyder-f3-touring-escape-package.html
If you buy the entire package at around $4000 you save over $3000 on the individual items bought separately I'm told.
The only thing, IMHO, that is wrong with the touring package is the inclusion of the Akrapovic exhaust. If I was touring
I really wouldn't want to listen to the engine all of the time!

Touring Package
I agree on the exhaust especailly if it's too loud. I'm not sure what king of decibels the Akrapovic produces but it would probably have to fall withing some sort of EPA sound limitations to be available from the OEM. This package has the touring essentials plus some bling and if what is being said about the cost (which BRP hasn't posted yet) is true it could possibly be a real bargain.

I think that's the problem. No one knows if its truly going to be sold as a package and if so what the price is going to be. I would love to know.
